Top Alford Hotel Reviews

Corus St James Hotel Grimsby

Corus St James Hotel Grimsby

8/10 Good
"Nice hotel in the centre of Grimsby, room we paid extra to overlook the beatiful minster. What it did not say was the amount of homeless people gathering on the grass and taking/laughing into the night. The rooms/ hotel are very warm, there was a fan in the room but did little to cool it, window open but this allowed the taking as above to be louder. Food nice both breakfast and evening meal. Few staff helpful and talkative but reception seemed quite miserable with not even a morning/hello as you passed on way through. Rooms and hotel are in need of a vast refurbishment. Towels in bathroom on a heated total rail but inches from the toilet unhygienic. Staff seemed to work long hours but overall helpful."

The Monsell Hotel

The Monsell Hotel

8/10 Good
"Hotel was in a quiet location with easy parking and within walking distance of the seafront and town centre. Staff were welcoming on checkin and kept in touch with check in and out times clearly stated with a key drop service available should this be needed. Lovely view from the room and residents kept the hotel quiet even in the early hours. There is no lift at the hotel and our room was on the top floor which involved climbing 2 flights of stairs so someone with mobility issues may suffer. There was plenty of security lighting and cctv covering all the main passageways to help you feel secure."

Which area of Alford is best to stay in for beaches?
For travellers seeking convenient beach access in Alford, the best area to stay is along the coastal stretch, particularly near the village of Sutton-on-Sea.

This area offers direct access to the sandy beaches that define the Lincolnshire coast. Sutton-on-Sea itself is a pleasant village with a traditional promenade, a range of local shops, and cafes. It's a short drive south from the main town of Alford, making it a popular spot for those wanting to spend their days by the sea.

Families often find this location ideal. The beaches are generally wide and sandy, great for children to play and build sandcastles. There are often facilities nearby for refreshments and public conveniences, making a day out at the beach more comfortable.
What is the best time of year to stay in a beach hotel in Alford?

These months offer the warmest weather, with average temperatures hovering around 20-22°C, making them ideal for traditional seaside activities like relaxing on the sandy shores or taking a refreshing dip in the North Sea.

During this peak season, Alford's coastline buzzes with activity. Families and couples will find the long daylight hours superb for exploring the nearby Lincolnshire Wolds or enjoying classic pier attractions. It's also when all beachfront amenities are fully operational, ensuring maximum convenience for your stay.

For a great alternative, consider visiting in June. While still offering pleasant weather for beach walks and outdoor exploration, with temperatures typically around 18-20°C, it presents distinct advantages.

Anderby Creek offers a peaceful escape, known for its wide sandy beach and sand dunes. It's an excellent spot for long walks along the coastline, birdwatching, or simply enjoying the quiet. Families often appreciate the open space for children to play and build sandcastles away from crowds. The beach is also home to the 'Cloud Bar', a unique, open-air observation deck specifically designed for cloud gazing.

Just a short drive south, Huttoft Car Terrace provides convenient parking right on the beach, making it very accessible. This beach is superb for those who enjoy beachcombing or kite flying due to its expansive, flat sands.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a beach hotel in Alford as a package?
Booking a beach hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking a beach vacation package well in advance.
