Walpole House (Sleeps 19)

“There is plenty of space for this to work for everyone. Located in Cliftonville…”

Walpole House is a large, light-filled coastal home in Margate, designed for groups who want to spend time together properly—whether that’s a family gathering, a weekend with friends, or something worth celebrating.

There’s a natural flow to the space that just works. Big social areas for meals, drinks and long conversations, balanced with enough room to spread out when you need a bit of quiet. Even with a full house, it feels relaxed rather than busy.

With eight bedrooms across the main house and a self-contained annexe, the layout gives you flexibility. Couples, singles, and families can all find a setup that suits them, without it feeling like anyone’s compromising. Some can be right in the heart of things, while others have a bit more separation—ideal for different routines, early nights or slower mornings.

The house is set up for real group living. A large dining space where everyone can sit together, two fully equipped kitchens that can handle anything from a simple breakfast to a full group meal, and multiple living areas so everything doesn’t happen in one place.

Outside, there’s two private, secure gardens and a generous patio; perfect for a slow morning coffee, an afternoon in the sun, or a relaxed evening with food and drinks. It’s an easy extension of the house, especially after a day at the beach.

And the location keeps everything simple. Eclectic Northdown Road is on the doorstep. The sandy shore, rock pools and lido are just a short, step free walk away, so you can come and go as you please. Head one way for quieter coastal walks and open space, or the other for Margate Old Town—cafés, restaurants, galleries and a bit more energy when you want it.

What makes it work so well is the balance. It feels sociable without being overwhelming, spacious without being disconnected, and flexible enough to suit different groups without needing to overthink it.

Whether you’re planning something special or just getting everyone together, it’s the kind of place that makes the whole stay feel easy and genuinely enjoyable from start to finish. The place to bring everyone together and create wonderful memories.
