St Margaret’s Village
This pretty and secluded coastal village is surrounded by beautiful rolling hills and a world renowned coastline.

With many fine public houses, B&B’s, holiday cottages as well as two family run hotels, St Margaret’s continues to draw many visitors. Come and stay a little longer and experience the beauty of it’s beaches and breathtaking walks on top of the iconic White Cliffs of Dover.
