Quaint and homely atmosphere.
Guests loved the traditional building and the warm
and homely accommodations. The bed and breakfast was said to be full
of charm and the rooms were described as cosy and well-stocked with
necessities like towels, coffee, and tea.
positive:
Warm hosts provide great service.
The couple who owns the bed and breakfast was highly praised for their warmth, professionalism, and high level of service. The hosts work hard to cultivate a homely environment for their visitors, and the home-cooked breakfast was highly-rated.
positive:
Quiet and convenient location.
The bed and breakfast is well-situated away from the hustle and bustle of tourist areas but still within easy walking distance to local attractions. Reviewers stated that downtown Skegness is a 10-minute walk away and the local sand dunes can be reached via a direct path from the road.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Suites are rather small and dated.
Owing to the age of the building, the rooms are a bit smaller than many travellers may be used to. Guests also stated that the furnishings are a bit dated and could use an update. Others added that the bathrooms are especially cramped and are tricky for taller individuals.
negative:
Not a great value for money in Skegness.
A number of reviewers felt that the accommodations were rather overpriced for what you get. People noted that similar establishments in Skegness and elsewhere can be booked for a lower price.
negative:
Accessibility is an issue.
The older building does not feature a lift and contains some narrow staircases that may prove difficult for elderly visitors or those with mobility issues. The on-street parking is limited as well, meaning that guests may have to walk a distance to the establishment during the busier months.
