Rosslyn Court - A Victorian B&B with live music, artist-themed rooms, and a garden with tortoises
A 4-star bed and breakfast in Cliftonville, Margate's cultural quarter, Rosslyn Court offers an intimate setting for live performances alongside cozy accommodations. The three en-suite guest rooms are themed after artists linked to Margate, including Tracey Emin, Turner, and TS Eliot, each featuring private bathrooms, bathrobes, soundproofing, and fireplaces with garden views. A continental breakfast is served each morning, with homemade bread, croissants, jam, marmalade, fresh fruit, yogurt, and vegan or gluten-free options available. The property hosts live music events nearly every week in a dedicated performance space, and an honesty bar provides local drinks and light refreshments. Guests can relax in the landscaped garden, which includes seating areas and resident tortoises. Rosslyn Court provides free WiFi throughout, luggage storage, private check-in/check-out, and meeting or banquet facilities. Walpole Bay Beach is a 5-minute walk away, Turner Contemporary gallery is a 16-minute walk, and Dreamland Margate is 2 km. The B&B offers family rooms, board games, kids' meals, and special diet menus upon request.
