The Space:
Looking for a romantic little getaway or seaside hideaway? You found it!
Snuggle down under hotel-quality linen in the peaceful bedroom with a king-size velvet bed overlooking a quiet patio area. Take breakfast at home in the spacious living/dining area, or head out for an early morning stroll along the coast and coffee from Forts at the end of the road, then peruse The Lido Stores art gallery and boutique and the famous Haeckels skincare store.
Whether it’s a midweek getaway work stay to renew your spirit or if you’re on holiday, be sure to head into town to take in the latest exhibition at Turner Contemporary, then peruse the art galleries, independent boutiques and vintage stores in the Old Town. Eat out at one of the many outstanding restaurants in both Margate and Cliftonville, then spend the evening at one of our friendly pubs or quirky music venues. If you don’t fancy venturing far, then check out Bar Nothing on the coast at the end of the road.
Walk the other way up the road and saunter along Northdown Road for a taste of Cliftonville. Visit Cliffs for a stellar breakfast experience, grab a nutritious snack at The Grain Grocer, or check out the family-run Batchelor’s Patisserie for amazing cakes and Skinny Dip for bespoke Bodega sandwiches with coffee.
If you are working, you can take copious breaks to walk along the coast or go for a wild swim. Walpole Bay tidal pool is just ten minutes away.
When you have finished for the day, snuggle up in front of the woodburner in the cozy living room and watch Netflix or play some board games. If the evening is fine, you can sit outside under the stars in the patio area.

Guest Access:
There is free parking on the street, usually within metres of Ballarat House. If there are no spaces available you can usually find a space on the nearby surrounding streets. Please note that there are a lot of steps into and within Ballarat House. You have private and exclusive access to the lower-ground apartment and the lower patio area.
The Neighborhood:
Ballarat House is 5 minute's walk from the famous Turner Contemporary art gallery, the enigmatic Shell Grotto, the Winter Gardens, the newly opened Margate Caves, the Walpole Bay tidal pool, The Libertines’ Albion Rooms and the thriving cafes and shops of trendy Northdown Road. Enjoy a clifftop wander with outstanding views out to sea, particularly the beautiful skies made famous by Turner: the sunsets really are breathtaking.
Walk a few minutes further to visit Margate Main Sands, Dreamland, the bustling Harbour Arm and all that the Old Town has to offer.
Getting Around:
The nearest major international airport is London Gatwick (LGW). From Gatwick Airport, you can travel to Margate by train, bus, or car. The journey by car or train typically takes around 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on traffic and the specific route taken. It is easy to take a cab from the station to Ballarat House.
Most places are within an easy stroll, or the Thanet Loop bus will take you further afield.
Other Things to Note:
Please review this information before booking to ensure a pleasant stay. If you have questions, don’t hesitate to contact us.
There is an upper house that is rented out separately. The ceilings have been very well insulated, and we always notify the upper house guests to keep noise down, especially in the evenings and early mornings. Despite the sound insulation, you may hear some noise if the upstairs guests are not respectful - if this ever happens during your stay, please contact us immediately so we can ask the other guests to be quiet. The lower apartment has exclusive use of the lower patio, which is gated.
If you are interested in renting the whole house, please check out the main Ballarat House listing. The home sleeps 10 when rented as one place. The lower ground apartment is separated by a thick fire door that locks closed. The upper house sleeps 8 when rented on its own, separate from the lower apartment.
Ballarat House is on a typically vibrant Margate street and can occasionally be noisy. Any disturbance is usually brief, but light sleepers should consider sleeping at the back of the property.
Please note the entrance is via steps down to the lower ground area, so this accommodation may not be suitable for someone with mobility issues.

If you need anything else, you’ll have to purchase it. As for the luxury toiletries in the pump dispensers, we ask that you please leave what you don't use for the next guests.
We have one cot and one high chair. Please let us know if you would like to use these in advance. The cot does not come with bedding, so you will need to bring your own.
