STAY
Although few things beat a leisurely amble along Margate Main Sands in the spring sunshine, the views of the waves from boutique hotel No.42 by GuestHouse mean you’ll want to linger indoors a little. Rooms and suites (3) resemble airy beach houses decked out in calming neutrals, with painted floorboards, Crosley turntables and Roberts radios all washed in soothing pistachio hues, but the seaside theme is subtle.
