I have just returned from a weekend away with my girlfriends in Ramsgate. Yes, it was a random choice for a weekend away, but our location was dictated by the properties we could find (somewhere big enough for 10 of us), so we ended up in the seaside town on the Kent coast. And I'm glad for it too, as we had an amazing time in a place none of us had been to before, and best of all, we stayed in the most beautiful house named 'Redcot'.
Redcot is the house of my dreams; a Victorian red-brick detached house with 5 double bedrooms, two reception rooms, a conservatory and garden (where we had breakfast). It has amazing features - fireplaces in every room, an original monochrome tiled floor in the entrance hall, stained glass in the sash windows...I could go on....
Me and the girls have decided that hiring a house for a weekend away is the way forward - especially if it's as gorgeous as Redcot. Seriously considering going back there for a winter break....just imagine lighting logs in those fireplaces! The nightlife in Ramsgate was a whole different story; stag parties attempting Michael Jackson moves? Middle aged couples licking each other's faces off? Maybe we'll just get some wine and stay in next time....
