In case you need some ideas for what to do during your stay with us, here are a couple of possible itineraries you could try.

 

Relax and take in some culture

 

Friday night - arrive at Redcot House, settle in, refresh and stroll into Ramsgate for dinner at one of the town's many restaurants.

 

Saturday morning - after a relaxing breakfast, head back towards Ramsgate town, past the Great Wall of Ramsgate and take a look in the old Sailors Church or browse in some of the independent shops springing up around the harbour. If it's not too soon after breakfast, you can people watch outside a harbour cafe with a coffee.  Carry on walking towards Pegwell Bay, along the west cliff and head into The Belle Vue for a pub lunch - recently voted Thanet's best Pub.

 

Saturday afternoon - take a short drive to Canterbury and explore this historic cathedral city. Take a boat tour on the river and enjoy some quality shopping. Have an early supper and head to the brand new Marlowe Theatre or head back to Ramsgate to see a film or local theatre group at The Granville.

 

Sunday - our homemade croissants or brioche will set you up for a walk to Broadstairs along the beach. Relax with a coffee in Morelli's famous ice-cream palour then if you're still feeling energentic, pick up a picnic lunch and follow the new signposted Dickens to Turner walk which will take you all the way to Margate.

 

 

Visit the amazing Turner Contemporary on the seafront, wander around the old town's independent shops then catch the bus or train back to Ramsgate (there are timetables in your room!).

 

Sunday evening - back in Ramsgate, head into town for a pre-dinner drink around the harbour then sample another of our many restaurants or the best fish and chips in town from Peter's Fish Factory.

Energetic days, foodie evenings

 

Monday - arrive at Redcot House and relax with a pot of tea and homemade Banana Loaf. We can help you arrange delivery of your hired bikes then enjoy dinner overlooking the harbour and plan tomorrow's cycle route.

 

Tuesday - enjoy a full Kentish breakfast then pick up your homemade packed lunch and head off to explore Thanets coastline and towns. First stop Pegwell Bay Nature Reserve then onto Sandwich for coffee. Head to the coast, past the famous St Georges Golf Club and have lunch on the beautiful and often deserted pebble beach. Continue onto Deal, pop onto the pier or to the English Heritage Castle.

 

 

Head inland again to the Fowlmead Country Park before retracing your steps towards Ramsgate. A well deserved pot of tea back at Redcot House before treating yourselves to dinner at Eddie Giberts fish restaurant.

 

Wednesday - after a delicious breakfast of smoked salmon and scrambed egg on toasted Sour dough rye bread, walk along some of Thanets 26 miles of white chalk coastline all the way to Margate. Arrive in time for lunch in the old town then pick up the Turner to Dickens walk, getting back to Broadstairs for afternoon tea!

 

Wednesday evening - Enjoy a pre-dinner drink* in our Breakfast lounge before experiencing fine dining at Age & Sons or an Italian treat at the family run Alexandra Ristorante.
