Market Street runs one-way from the beach end; follow it past the car park until Mr Simms sweet shop marks the turn, and you are at The Beetroot, a hundred metres from Margate's main sands. Eight rooms, each individually designed, each fully vegan — no animal product in the furnishings, the toiletries or what cleans them. It takes no guests under eighteen, and it is kept for anyone who wants a stretch of Old Town Margate with nothing but the tide for noise.
Each room is designed separately from the others, but what's underneath stays consistent: tea and coffee laid out, a shower en suite, a television, free wifi, and a mattress the hotel has actually won something for. The vegan brief runs past the bed linen and into the toiletries and the products used to clean the room, so nothing animal touches the stay at any point. Check-in starts at three, checkout is midday, and a bag can be dropped early by arrangement, so a morning does not have to end at the door. The Beetroot's own blog runs alongside it, filled with Margate and the rest of Thanet for the hours you spend outside the room.
The Beetroot sets a minimum age of 18 in its own house rules, read on 25 August 2026. A house whose rule drops below eighteen, or stops naming an age, is taken off HUSH — how every house is checked.

Asking the house for its rooms…
Excellent
Lovely cute guest house , Margate is not great, a lot was closed and it’s very old and tried looking . Not worth going
The room is perfect with nice touches, the outdoor area is quirky and pleasant, Paul the host was friendly and helpful and the place is within easy walking distance of everything. I was expecting a hotel style place...
Very good location beach was a stones throw accommodation

The site doesn't say which award, only that it won one — worth testing for yourself on the first night, since each room is designed differently from the next. Checkout isn't until midday, so there's no rush to decide.
A hundred metres from the door, which makes the tide the easiest thing to check before you've even unpacked. It's the closest named distance on this stretch of Old Town Margate, so there's little reason to plan the walk.
Ten minutes along the seafront from the station, then right into Market Street. Follow the one-way in from the beach end, past the car park, until Mr Simms sweet shop marks the turn — The Beetroot is a few steps past it, and the kettle's already in the room when you get there.
Check-in doesn't start until three, but a bag can be dropped by arrangement beforehand, so the sands are free to use as soon as you arrive. Ask when you book, since it isn't automatic.
