Will definitely be booking again ##### Philippa Bilsland From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alan Butler 4 Aug 2025 #### 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. ##### Alan Butler ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Cheltenham Chase Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Delta-By-Marriott-Cheltenham-Chase-Hotel.h9657.Hotel-Information) > - [Splash Landings Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-Splash-Landings-Hotel.h1160988.Hotel-Information) > - [Sycamore Farm Park Ltd](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skegness-Hotels-Sycamore-Farm-Park-Ltd.h24123986.Hotel-Information) > - [SNDN Caravans](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skegness-Hotels-SNDN-CARAVANS.h53988341.Hotel-Information) > - [Etrop Grange Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Etrop-Grange.h49116.Hotel-Information) > - [The Derwent Manor Boutique Hotel ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Consett-Hotels-The-Derwent-Manor-Boutique-Hotel.h9535.Hotel-Information) > - [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > - [Lakeside Lodge with 6 berth hot tub and private fishing peg](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lincoln-Hotels-Delightful-Lakeside-Lodge-With-Hot-Tub-Private-Fishing-Peg-With-Stunning-View.h27123912.Hotel-Information) > - [Travellers Rest Motel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skegness-Hotels-Travellers-Rest-Motel.h15728907.Hotel-Information) > - [Delta Hotels by Marriott Warwick](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warwick-Hotels-M40-J15-Warwick-Hotel.h10444.Hotel-Information) > - [Luxury Private Caravan at Butlins Skegness Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skegness-Hotels-Luxury-Private-Caravan-At-Butlins-Skegness-Resort.h78780101.Hotel-Information) > - [Ingoldale Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skegness-Hotels-Ingoldale-Holiday-Park.h32599712.Hotel-Information) > - [The Chestnuts Holiday Cottages](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skegness-Hotels-The-Chestnuts-Holiday-Cottages.h32501388.Hotel-Information) > - [Coastal Caravan Butlins - Skegness](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skegness-Hotels-Coastal-Caravan-Butlins-Skegness.h106412731.Hotel-Information) > - [Burgh Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skegness-Hotels-Burgh-Gardens.h45995987.Hotel-Information) > - [DoubleTree by Hilton Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Manchester-Airport.h26104.Hotel-Information) > - [Saltmoore](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-Raithwaite-Sandsend.h4276816.Hotel-Information) > - [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > - [Urban Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bournemouth-Hotels-Urban-Beach-Hotel.h2814369.Hotel-Information) > - [Delta Hotels by Marriott Colchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colchester-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Colchester.h14251.Hotel-Information) > - [Wychnor Park Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burton-On-Trent-Hotels-Wychnor-Park-Country-Club.h1927715.Hotel-Information) > - [Prestige pet Friendly Caravan on Butlins, Skegness](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skegness-Hotels-Prestige-Pet-Friendly-Caravan-On-Butlins.h93096304.Hotel-Information) > - [DoubleTree by Hilton Stoke on Trent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Stoke-On-Trent.h6788.Hotel-Information) > - [Ox Hotel Manchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Milton-Manchester-Hotel.h18787802.Hotel-Information) > - [Caverswall Castle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-Caverswall-Castle.h23959535.Hotel-Information) > - [De Vere Tortworth Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-De-Vere-Tortworth-Court.h570412.Hotel-Information) > - [Makeney Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Belper-Hotels-Makeney-Hall-Hotel.h1206529.Hotel-Information) > - [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information) > - [Luxury caravan at Butlins Skegness](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skegness-Hotels-Luxury-Caravan-At-Butlins-Skegness.h36376338.Hotel-Information) ---
