The staff Laura and Jim were both very friendly, polite and hospitable. I had a twin room with an en-suite bathroom which had a bath and a shower. The room and property were very clean and tidy. Got parking on the front of the property but the road is free parking anyway so that was a problem. Breakfast was very nice full English breakfast buffet, toaster, coffee pod machine, yogurts and cereals too. I will go there again when I’m in Margate and my friends that booked the premier inn said they’ll here next time too.

I recently stayed at Shenandoah House while visiting family nearby, and chose it because it was pet-friendly and had such excellent reviews. I’m so glad I did. From the moment we arrived, we received a genuinely warm welcome from Jim, who immediately made friends with our dog.

The room was clean, comfortable and thoughtfully set up. The cooked English breakfast was honestly one of the best I’ve had, and the breakfast room itself was a great bonus, with a fridge and microwave available for guests to use. There’s also a lovely garden, which Jim is happy to allow dogs into.

Parking was on street with no restrictions, and the area itself was very quiet. The location is ideal, the beach is just a short walk away, the station is nearby and it’s an easy, pleasant 15 minute walk into the main centre.

Overall, it truly felt like a home‑from‑home experience and offered great value for money. I’ll definitely be booking here again.

This is the second time I have stayed at this hotel and I enjoyed it just as much, if not more. The host goes beyond what I would expect from this type of hotel and was particularly to an older lady who needed special care. I particularly appreciated the gluten free options for breakfast, which included sausages.

The owner confirmed question before we arrived and was there to show us the room, letting us know breakfast time and aquantus us with the keys. The room was clean and warm with a separate toilet and shower that worked well. The breakfast was great with a choice of cereal, lots of high quality full english breakfast items and toast with jams. Lots of drink options too with fresh orange juice. Jim the owner has made a special place to stay, even allowing guests to use the dining area outside of breakfast time with a microwave available to use. There are information leaflets for the area too, with the main town just being a short walk away. We wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. Thanks Jim

Good staying safe environment

I spend 2 nights with my family the room was a good size and comfortable. My children enjoyed sleeping time.

The room was however noisy being on the side of the main road. The view was great with the sea just a stone throw away.

I had to personally asked for the WiFi connection on the second day. I needed for my kids lessons online.

The location was good with Tesco close by. But it’s quite a walk to the town centre.

The cost is affordable as a bonus
Overall was a good stay.

Highly recommend

We received the warmest of welcomes from Jim, the proprietor. He was so lovely, funny and kind. Although the Shenandoah is a period house, it is right up to date, the decor and furniture looked new. The room was comfortable and clean. The breakfast was excellent, there was probably something to suit everyone. I’m a bit of a Nespresso addict and usually take a machine with me when I travel, I didn’t this trip but was delighted when I found a Nespresso machine in the breakfast room.

The Shenandoah has rooms to suit most. It even has glamping pods if you fancy something a bit different.

There is off street parking.

Thanks, Jim, it’s obvious that you’d go the extra mile for your guests!

You get what you pay for

DIY noise into the evening. Tiny room with a giant sofa in it which is unnecessary. Shower was faulty - ran hot for 10 seconds then cold for 30 seconds, repeatedly. Banging sounds until the early hours of the morning, hence only 2 hours sleep so tired for an important meeting.

The above caused me to leave a day early - no refund, of course!

The rooms and facilities were great we were close to the local shops and central Margate was in close walking distance.

The beds were comfortable so we had a great night sleep and we had a fantastic full English Breakfast In the morning.

It is a fantastic Guest House and we would definitely come back again and recommend the hotel to others.
