Amanda
Lovely, spacious apartment that had everything we needed. Comfy beds and sofa, great location as short walk to beach, restaurants etc.
Claire
Highly recommend this property. Had a great holiday.
Janet
Perfectly situated within a short walk to all the amenities of Broadstairs. A very warm comfortable apartment on two levels for three mature couples over the New Year. Each couple had a bedroom and bathroom upstairs. Beds were comfortable and the showers were amazing! We cooked easily at apartment for 2 nights - everything needed was to hand! The upstairs lounge was great for relaxing/ board games and a game of cards! We ate out twice at The Italian Sardinia restaurant and seafood restaurant at The Tartar Frigate - both were excellent. Found a couple of great small pubs. Walked the coastal route to Margate and the next day to Ramsgate! I would highly recommend 1 York Mansions and Broadstairs. Thank you for a great start to the New Year!
Sally
