A beautiful spacious, part 12th, 15th and 18th century Grade II listed building of historical importance on the outskirts of the Kent village of Manston, just four miles from Broadstairs, Ramsgate and Margate on the Kent coastline. Ideal for groups of up to thirteen guests. However, if you also wanted to book the two cottage next to The Chapel which also form part of the secluded grounds of Manston Court, which both have one bedroom and a sofa bed, groups of up to 21 are able to stay comfortably for that special occasion. We have now added an outside electric socket in the garden of The Chapel, so that guests can hire a hot tub to make their stay even more memorable. We suggest Goodwins in Margate is a great place to hire out the hot tub. Currently the price for up to 1 weeks hire is £270 which includes warm water. When ordering the warm water we don't charge for keeping it nice and warm, we only charge if we need to provide the water and warm it up. Tourist board rating: 4 Star Gold
