I make a yearly trip to PE for Ironman. Saying at Margate Place has become part of the whole amazing experience for me. It's a quiet place to relax, a friendly place to invite friends to, it's comfy and personal. I rate the whole Margate team. more

We traveled to PE for the World Cup and Margate House fulfilled our needs. The breakfasts are really good and it was nice that it had a kitchenette. We had children so we stayed in the adjoining family room 6&7. The style is definitely not trendy, more functional with a Home Depot design feel. I guess my tepid response is... more

Management response from
Margate_Place, Owner

I, the owner of Margate Place Guest House, would like to respond to the comments “It’s ok” , made by the above client. 1. “Pay for three nights while staying for two”: We had a minimum three night stay policy during the World Cup period – similar to that of MATCH, the official booking agency of Fifa – as the...

Stayed 3 weeks in rooms # 4 and 6. Clean, spacy, comfortable, safe. Felt like at home. Cornell and Debbie, gonna miss you and your marvelous guesthouse. Unfortunately did not have too much time to explore more - was too busy working at the World Cup. The major asset of PE is people. I keep saying that here in Russia.... more

This is a good location hotel and everything BUT our vacation was very much disturbed by the landlady going on and on about how the blacks and the coloured people were useless (right in front of her own black "servants"). We felt very uncomfortable about this and told her so, but when we disagreed she was agitated. Also there was... more

I'm normally not making comments on these sorts of pages but, we stayed several times in this guesthouse and the last stay was the best. Really enjoyed our time again. Well done to you all. Relaxing and everything is so little trouble. more

We've stayed there 3 years in a row over Iron Man and wouldn't stay anywhere else! They go so far beyond all expectations that "value for money" would be an insult. Comfort, service, friendliness, good food & so much more... more
