I was at the Margate for a special event and stayed in one of their deluxe rooms in the Lakeside building. First, the room. The room was massive, providing ample space to spread our all our items while still being able to sit to eat or look out the window over the gorgeous lake. I was very concerned when I... More

I couldn't have been happier with the Margate. The staff was excellent and attentive, our rooms were spotless, we had a gorgeous view of the lake, and we had plenty of yummy meals and delicious drinks there. There is an indoor pool which is great because you can swim no matter the weather. The location is actually very close to... More

I stayed here for a convention for five nights and couldn't be happier. The view from our room was fantastic. the lake and the gounds of the resort are gorgeous. The staff was wonderful. As this was a Harry Potter convention, they had to deal with crazy, costumed people running around at all hours. They dealt amazingly well with those... More

Stayed at Margate for a conference. The staff were the most accommodating people I have ever met at a hotel. The grounds are beautiful and the lake is especially lovely in the evening. If you are planning an event in new Hampshire -- check out the Margate!

The Margate hosted a Harry Potter convention this month and the location was just absolutely perfect! Beautiful area, rooms and beds are comfortable, we had a mini fridge in our room, continental breakfast was great, indoor pool was great, the underground tunnel came in handy more than once, the beach area is beautiful. Staff went above and beyond! Overall a... More

We stayed in the Inn building, across the street from the main facilities. The room was clean, quite large, and well-appointed, although the internet access from our room was slow and spotty at the best of times and the fixtures a bit dated. The housekeeping staff were superb in responding to requests and even noticed that we weren't drinking the... More

I recently stayed four nights for a themed conference. We had the entire resort, and the staff couldn't have been nicer. They seemed to really enjoy the craziness and were always there to help with whatever was needed. Even though the resort was almost sold out and there was a lot going on, the place was always clean and tidy... More

Everyone is so nice and helpful. The lakeside is great and the layout is quite nice too -- even being in the Inn across the highway was completely fine. And the proximity to Shaw's supermarket was certainly a blessing. I highly recommend it.

Had such a wonderful time at The Margate! They are so welcoming of the Harry Potter fandom and accommodating to all our decorations and setting up, as well as our events. I can't wait to go back in 2015! Thank you Margate Staff for letting the creators of MISTICon use the hotel for all of us to enjoy!

I stayed in the 1st floor of the Lakeview building at the Margate for a long weekend convention, Thursday through Monday, and could not have asked for a better experience. The location of the resort is stunning; right on the lake with a private dock and beach with plenty of lounge chairs to take in the sun and gorgeous views.... More
