Having never taking our now one year old away for the night (that wasn't the grandparents) we decided a trip to Skeg, finding a nice hotel can be difficult to come by, but Jane & David run a tight ship. Friendly from the minute you park and right until you leave, very accommodating for families and everything is perfect. Rooms are very clean and spacious, breakfast was fantastic. Thank you guys again for hosting us for the weekend, can't wait to come back next year!

Me and my sister had a two nights stay and loved every minute. Very clean , very friendly, lovely set up, thought of everything, nothing was to much trouble. Breakfast was buffet style help yourself, juice, plenty of cereals to choose from , yoghurts , fruit , sweet rolls, lovely big breakfast two sausage two bacon two hash browns beans tomatoes and fresh egg brought out when you have collected your breakfast with toast to. Couldn’t fault it set us up for the day. Juice , squash bottled water to help yourself when you want to. Kettle tea coffee chocolate in room with biscuits. Rate this 100% and I would definitely recommend and be coming back here again. Amazing place to stay. It’s about an 8minute walk from the clock tower, there is a walk way which is five minutes from the beach. More private and not crowded. We came by train so we found it alright walking backwards and forwards to centre . Out of all the hustle and bustle of the centre. Was a fan in the room to which helped with the nice days we had.

What a beautiful place to stay. Jane and David were very accommodating. We had a 6 month old with us too and they couldn't do more to help. The BnB was spotlessly clean, the breakfast was delicious with a wide selection of choices. The location was perfect just a 5 minute walk to the seafront. Such lovely owners. They even gave our son a cuddly toy when we left. We will be back

Spotlessly clean, great quiet location and the most lovely hosts you will find. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and will definitely stay again. Highly recommend. The attention to detail is second to none, they have thought of everything including the environment. Filtered water, selection of teas and coffee, juice, fresh milk in little bottles and this isn't just at breakfast, it's available at any time. There is a hairdryer and ironing board too which are sometimes not available at smaller hotels. It really is a home from home. Breakfast was delicious and plenty to choose from; hot, cold or both. Jane and David made us feel so incredibly welcome, it was like staying with friends. Even gave us a box of chocolates as we left. Thank you both for your wonderful hospitality, we look forward to seeing you again.

Absolutely lovely stay here! Stayed here with our 6 month old, very baby friendly hosts and a lovely couple. The Hotel is lovely, beautiful garden out front, our room had a little balcony and was very spacious. Lots of lovely little extras for example cold filtered water, milk in a little frige at the end of the corridor, their was shower caps etc so if you did forget anything it was more than likely catered for. The room and hotel was extremely clean, breakfast was lovely with lots of options. Great location with a snicket to get to the beach and a short walk to the town centre, also a spar opposite and multiple food outlets. By far the best place we have been in skegness and we come multiple times a year. Beautiful, we will be back! Thankyou so much for our stay.
