Comments on trip advisor reviews.
Comments on trip advisor reviews. If I could score higher I would. Good safe quiet location for children and dogs. Enclosed courtyard, plenty of sun beds garden furniture table and chairs outside. Well appointed kitchen lounge and bedrooms. Bathroom has shower toilet and sink, mirror cupboard. Very clean and tidy. Location is next to sea wall access 10 to 20 yards either side to seafront via maintained council footpaths. Short walk to village centre cafes, fast food and supermarket. Nice walks on promenade or sand for dogs and people.Ideal for all age groups Skegness ten minutes by car if you want the bright lights more shops etcetera.The owners live behind and were fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble. It’s the first time in many years that I can say the owners Tony and Elaine have become friends. Not the usual take your money and run but caring and honest folks. So much so that one of my neighbours is booking. A great relaxing break, booked at short notice.
