Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Location a little out of centre, but 5 mins on bus to Old Town. The residential area had a small Tesco, and a variety of interesting restaurants and takeaways. The cost for a single bedroom without ensuite (toilet and shower room immediately outside the room) was very reasonable. A variety of options for breakfast, from.help yourself to toast and hot drink (included in price), to full English extra on request. Helpful and friendly owner.
The kind owner, the comfy bed, the tasty food options and the perfect location
Parking is first come first serve
Sehr freundlich
Etwas kleine Zimmer
Close to the beach. Great breakfast with eggs if you want them. Clean. Tub!
Bit of a climb to the top. More rooms one floor down. The hot water didn’t last very long for the tub.
Had a lovely stay and will definitely be returning . The owner Jim is so welcoming and his breakfast was so tasty, local produce.
Clean and comfortable great breakfast large private onsite and great view of the sea Fab breakfast great value for money
Low ceilings into bathroom
Everything! Spotless, perfect location for walking into the village, well appointed and everything in its place, very pleasant owner. Comfortable bed which we really appreciated after a long car trip. We felt happy to have landed in such a clean and comfy accommodation.

Excelente ubicación, muy cerca de la playa. El señor muy atento, desayuno incluido muy rico
Spotlessly clean. Quiet but convenient location. We could see the sea out of our window too.
We got there way to early for check in. But they was so happy to let us check in there and then gave us the keys.. took the cases and put them in the room when it was nice and clean for us, so we could go and do our thing .
Stayed as we were going to a gig at Dreamland. Very handy location. Room had a sea view and was spotless. Bed comfy, everything needed was provided. Would stay again.
Nothing. All was great.
A good clean and friendly b&b

Jim and all the staff made our stay very pleasant. Amazing breakfast, everything was impeccably clean and we could walk everywhere. Highly recommend!
This is a lovely guesthouse, in a fabulous position, just a short walk into Margate. The host, Jim is very welcoming. Our room was spacious, light and airy and very clean. The bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious too and the strong coffee was appreciated, thank you!
There wasn't anything that could be improved.
Everything. Host's we're friendly and helpful, accommodation was very clean. Breakfast was good, with plenty of choice. Close to beach and town. Would definitely stay again.
Nothing. Everything was fine.
Great location, friendly staff, delicious breakfast, and a clean room. Highly recommend!
The perfect location and accommodation that totally suited all my needs. Very dog friendly which was our highlight. Jim was very friendly as were the staff. The double room was clean, the shower (opposite the bedroom) powerful and perfect and the location just a short 10-15 walk from the station and old town. The full English Breakfast was also the perfect start to the day! Back in August and staying again. Great guesthouse choice.

Bardzo miły i pomocny właściciel. Śniadanie smaczne. Pokój mały ale czysty z widokiem na morze co jest dodatkowym atutem
Pokój jest mały więc przy upalnych dniach przydał by się wiatrak 😉
Jim is an excellent host ,very kind and always looking after the guests,me and family we will definitely recommend to our friends and family this place
I wish I could stay more a couple of days there 😉
Sehr guter Service. Gutes Frühstück.☕

Jim and Laura were super helpful and lovley
Very good selection.

We stayed one night in family room. Comfy double bed and bunk beds,tea/coffee in the room, hot shower, everything was clean. Lovely host! Friendly and nice to chat with. Breakfast was included (which we didn’t know), so was a nice surprise and one less thing to worry about with 2 kids. Margate beach is 2 min drive. Tesco express just down the road. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you
Location and hospitality of Jim and his staff. Also saw a fox on a neighbour’s shed roof from our room window basking in the sunshine!
Everything was perfect.
Very friendly, nothing was any trouble. Breakfast included was lovely.

Jim was a great host - very friendly and helpful. Everywhere was spotlessly clean and the bed was so comfy. Breakfast was tasty and our dog was made very welcome.😁
Nothing to not like🤷
Excellent friendly service from the host and a very good breakfast that we enjoyed.
N/A
Very friendly, and breakfast was quite nice. Bed was comfortable.
The room was quite small, and because it was in the eves, it meant the ceiling had very low points. Not good for someone who's 6'+ tall. It even made using the shower difficult. The pillows were very firm, so not at all comfortable for us. When we arrived, the heating was on and our room was lovely and warm. Unfortunately, when we returned at night, having been out for something to eat and a drink, the heating was off. It wasn't on in the morning either, which meant a very chilly bathroom! For the price it would have been nice to have the choice of us turning it up or down to suit our needs.
Jim the host was excellent
All excellent
We liked the cute house and how pet friendly it was! The house was super close to the beach which made walking to the beach so convenient! The garden in the house was also very convenient for our dog. Jim was also very hospitable, will definitely recommend anyone to stay if you’re looking for a short getaway at Margate
The breakfast was excellent and the host was very friendly and accomodating. The room was clean and comfortable. More attention to detail would be appreciated e.g. replacing tea and coffee during the day whilst the guest is out and about. Would certainly book again.
All good
The host was super lovely

Close to beach and also Wonder-works. Jim was great, could not do enough for us. Room was clean and tidy. He welcomed the dog, and garden was enclosed for her. Breakfast was freshly made when we got up. Could not fault.
Nothing at all. Everything was excellent. Good value for money
Breakfast was excellent, room was clean, location was good and Jim was an extremely friendly and charismatic host. Thanks
This is a fantastic b n b. Host Jim is very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Rooms are very comfortable and clean and also dog friendly 👌 ☺️ nice garden for the dog to run around
There was nothing not to like
Shenandoah House did not match the rating of 9.1 given by Booking.com. No off street parking, poor location and very low-key brekfasst.
Breakfast and location.
Jim met us on arrival explained where we could park, once in the property we were made very welcome , Jim & family also made our dog Very welcome, we were shown to our room which was nice even had a train line at the bottom of the garden home from home as I live next to a train line , went for breakfast jim made sure we had everything we needed & fussed our dog , breakfast was great plenty on offer to eat , jim was a great host, property well placed to walk the beach , would definitely stay again
Shower wouldn't stay in the middle , kept turning to the wall , couldnt take it out the bracket , but did manage to shower
The owner confirmed question before we arrived and was there to show us the room, letting us know breakfast time and aquantus us with the keys. The room was clean and warm with a separate toilet and shower that worked well. The breakfast was great with a choice of cereal, lots of high quality full english breakfast items and toast with jams. Lots of drink options too with fresh orange juice. Jim the owner has made a special place to stay, even allowing guests to use the dining area outside of breakfast time with a microwave available to use. There are information leaflets for the area too, with the main town just being a short walk away. We wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. Thanks Jim
Loved all was great . Host was good , breakfast 😋
It was in a great location and Jim was amazing
The location is excellent. We were able to walk everywhere. It’s a 2 minute walk to the nearest beach where we were able to have a morning swim before a delicious breakfast. Jim was an amazing host. He is very knowledgeable of the surrounding areas and gave us good recommendations. Best value stay in Margate!
This was my third visit. Jim, the host, was out when I arrived; however, the lady whose name I did not get booked me in was polite and friendly and got me settled in my room. The room was well presented, clean, with tea/coffee facilities, clean towels and a comfortable bed (I had a good night's sleep). Jim greeted me at breakfast, which was a self-serve full English with a selection of various teas and coffees, fresh fruit juices and cereals. A very hospitable place to stay.
Near to seafront and walking distance from town.
All ok but too pricey for what you get. No hair dryer or fridge, so for £108 too much. Breakfast all pre cooked and looked really unappealing so ate in a local cafe even though it was included. Host really nice and offered a room upgrade even though the upgraded room was no better, as at the front of the house on a well used road. Stayed in the room booked which was at the back of the house with no one above us and had a good night’s sleep.
The staff were very welcoming and super friendly, the beds were very comfy and the rooms were clean. And the location was spot on! Only a 10 minute walk into the main part of Margate. Ideal spot if you're spending the weekend or like we were going to a gig.
We liked all things. Jim is so kind and helpful. We will return and stay in again . The bedroom is comfortable and clean, near the beach and the railway station
Nothing
Clean, tidy & welcoming.
Was given a room at the top of the house & had requested a lower floor.
Very nice and cozy place, Jim the host is a extra value during the stay. We ll come back 100%. Very comfy bed, amazing break fast.
Nothing all good 😆
Very clean and convenient for the centre and beach. Nice owner and excellent breakfast. Would definitely reccomend.
Had difficulties in contacting host, as email sent a couple of days before our visit and a telephone call on the norming which went straight to answer phone. No contact made by host before we attended. Room clean and tidy. No parking on front as although 3 parking bays 2 cars parked badly so has to park on the street
Shenandoah House is located in a quiet area, close to the beach, and has street parking.
I stayed in the top floor room. It was nice to have a private bathroom, but the ceilings in the room and bathroom were low and slanted, so I bumped my head several times, even though I'm not very tall.
Clean and tidy place, friendly hosts.
The owner was extremely helpful and friendly. They provided us with a cooked breakfast as well as a selection of cereals. Shenandoah House about 5 minutes walk from the beach and is close to local shops, restaurants and cafes. It is also within walking distance to the Turner Gallery and Dreamland. Our stay was very pleasant and I would definitely return. Shenandoah House is
Jim was a great host & looked after us very well !
I spend 2 nights with my family the room was a good size and comfortable. My children enjoyed sleeping time. The room was however noisy being on the side of the main road. The view was great with the sea just a stone throw away. I had to personally asked for the WiFi connection on the second day. I needed for my kids lessons online. The location was good with Tesco close by. But it’s quite a walk to the town centre. The cost is affordable as a bonus Overall was a good stay.
Easy to find property, great location, nice stuff, everything clean Breakfast was nice
Jim was so very welcoming, the room spacious, clean and comfortable. So close to margate just a very short walk, was very pleased with our stay and will definitely come back again
Second stay here, everything you need to be comfortable and near to everything
Area good parking near
Low slanted ceiling and kettle position for making coffee
Close distance to the shore, very nice host
It was all ok
Very friendly staff , Laura and Jim made us feel very welcome. Room very clean and comfortable and has all you would need for a short break. The area is really nice , it’s in a busy road but did not bother us . Very conveniently located to Margate main sands - will definitely staff again.
Great place to stay really close to the beach and surrounding areas.
Freindly host and dog friendly . nice place about 10 minute walk down into main part of margate . Close to the beach could see it from our room . Nice breakfast in the morning too.
Only thing i would say being on the top floor the celling slope down not great if your tall .but Everything else was great .
Great place .jim could'nt do enough for us.was really looked after.Breakfast excellect value
