Breakfast was great

The service and the breakfast was great, being freshly cooked to order, and even the small bottle of milk in the fridge was a really nice touch. The room and general hotel was a little tired looking, but it did the job and had parking. I’d go back again.

The owner was very welcoming on arrival and showed me to my room. The room was clean and comfortable. The bed was very comfortable and had a great night sleep. Breakfast was really nice and was treated with a friendly conversation and a lovely full English breakfast. The only issue was the bathroom was small, not much space to navigate around. Will be returning!

Good time in Skegness

Comfortable bed and room with big white fluffy towels. Liz was a very sociable host who served a terrific and plentiful English breakfast. Cooking smells sadly pervaded up to our room making the house smell not a ‘fresh’ as it should.

Pleasent stay for a couple of nights in basic twin. Everything we needed, although didn't use all facilities. Breakfast was a good variety including fresh fruit which was nice. The hosts were friendly and chatty. Near enough to walk into Skegness and attractions. Only problem we had was the people in room above were up at 6.30am and making noise walking about, which woke us, when we had been out late. Not the hotels fault though as you can expect some noise from other guests, if only they were a little more considerate. . .
