The Chapel (the large property to the right) is a beautifully spacious, listed, historic 12th, 15th and 18th century Grade II listed building. Situated on private grounds on the outskirts of the village of Manston, it's just four miles from Broadstairs, Ramsgate and Margate on the Kent coastline. The Chapel alone is ideal for groups of up to thirteen guests, however, when combined with the two cottages next to it, they can sleep up to 21 guests on adult sized beds plus a child. Both cottages have one bedroom and a sofa bed in the sitting room of each cottage, allowing for those extra guests for that special occasion, reunion or holiday to remember, or just to have more space and less guests! Your choice. We have now added an outside electric socket to the garden of The Chapel, so that guests can hire a hot tub if they would like to make their stay even more memorable. We suggest Goodwins in Margate is a great place to hire out the hot tub as they deliver locally for free. Currently the price is £275 and includes hot water. When it comes with hot water we don't charge to keep it hot. The two cottages to the left of The Chapel can be hired for additional guests, so that between the 3 properties they can sleep up to 21 adults and one child in a child size bed.
