Attention to detail needed
This review is intended to be in the interest of improving the overall experience. The hotel is in a great location with car parking in a small Lincolnshire village, at the corner of the Market square. This is a listed property with some nice features. The owners are striving to modernise the hotel creating comfortable affordable modern accommodation. The room we stayed in was on the whole clean but attention to detail was needed with the cleaning. Dust and cobwebs in certain areas of the room. Bathroom had certain areas that the cleaner had missed. The room was cold, the radiator was lukewarm. I did go back to reception and mention this and they gave me a fan heater. The beds were comfortable but more pillows are needed, again extra pillows given on request. To access the rooms is via wooden staircase, again dust on bannister spindles. Don’t know if there is disabled access. The staff were friendly and attentive and happy to share the history of the place. I think this hotel is suffering from being understaffed. A few more staff members would make a wealth of difference on attention to detail and in turn deliver a great great customer experience. Honest opinion is that in its current form I would not stay again but would be happy too if the changes were made.

Fab stay fab Hotel
Two nights get away celebrating 30 years anniversary… Skegness has always been a family favourite so going away just the two of us was lovely to reminisce.. this hotel was lovely and felt like home, a very warm welcome from a very lovely couple where nothing was to much trouble, proper home cooking and a key to the front door if we wandered in past 11 … I felt like part of the family.. seriously highly recommend this hotel and would book again for future travel visits and no one would beat these guys on price for two nights stay.. so thank you both very much 😊
