Linger for longer…

Make a stay of it at the boutique Sands Hotel Margate, located in an elegant Victorian building. It boasts stunning views of the sunsets over Margate Sands (call 01843 228228 or visit www.sandshotelmargate.co.uk). While you’re in a nostalgic mood, rediscover childhood toys at the Hornby Visitor Centre and visit Margate’s Winter Gardens that have, over the years, drawn big-name acts, from the Beatles to the Kaiser Chiefs.
