From the owner

This Grade II-listed flint cottage is a piece of Margate history. Formerly part of the Cobb brewery, in years gone by it was used as a barrel store. Now, complete with original old beams scavenged from ships, it is a two bedroom holiday home ready for weekends and holidays on the Kent coast.

Set back from King Street in Margate's famous Old Town, with its shops, cafes and more The Old Barrel Store is two minute's walk from the Turner Contemporary gallery, the sea front and seconds from all the Old Town's attractions.

Facilities include:

- 1 double bedroom

- 1 twin bedroom (can be set up as a king size)

- spacious living room incl retro sofa bed

- well equipped kitchen/diner

- bathroom with rain shower over bath

- courtyard garden with large table & chairs, umbrella, BBQ and retro egg snuggle chair

- off road parking (a rarity in the Old Town!)

- highchair, travel cot, step up stool, children's tableware

- DVD player & library, speakers for your music player

- toys, books and beach kit

- wifi

Furnished largely from Margate's range of antique and vintage shops there's lots to look at and be inspired by.

Egyptian cotton bedding, blankets to keep you warm and 200 year old flint walls to keep you cool!

We also provide kitchen basics to get you started for your trip and a great guide to local activities and places to eat and drink.

Try our amazingly comfortable antique Vono mahogany beds!

Staples and Co have been handmaking beds from 1895.

Our twin beds have a Royal warrant originally granted by King George V. In October 1915, the King was advised by his physicians to sleep on a Staples bed after an accident. The unique construction of which had already demonstrated its superiority in maintaining correct spinal support, which we now recognise as being an essential ingredient in healthy, restful sleep. That the bed had “given satisfaction” to the King was quoted in all literature and advertisements by the company. In the ensuing years, similar beds were supplied to many of the Royal Residences. These original frames and mattresses are Staples No.1 Mattress by appointment to HM The Queen.
