Ramsgate seafront accommodation
A Tiny up and down flat close to the Ramsgate seafront, minutes from the harbour. It took a long time to find it as it was tucked down a tiny alleyway and I didn’t get clear instructions. It uses a Bluetooth app to unlock the door and I couldn’t get it working on my iPhone (I live in Canada now), my wife did but it just added to the stress of checking in. It has the tiniest ‘TV’ I’ve ever seen, which wasn’t web enabled. Parking was a challenge to find, the roads are very small and intimidating to navigate unless you’ve lived in the UK before; I’m from Ramsgate so I’m used to them.
Overall its ok for one or two nights for an adult couple if you can get a good rate. Stairs to the bedroom and bathroom are steep, the bath is lovely though, a free standing claw foot tub.
