Dog Friendly Bed And Breakfasts In Skegness

What our customers say about their holidays

  A great holiday let in a small and lovely village, with loads of walking options and it's very dog friendly.

  If you already know Anderby Creek, rest assured this is in a prime location for everything you usually do here. If you don't know Anderby Creek, well, come and find out! It's a new let, recently refurbished. The only carpet in the entire house is on the stairs, so it's dog friendly and it's easy to mop up any little doggy footprints that may appear! There's a large kitchen/diner and a separate snug/living room with log burner (very efficient once it's up to temperature too!) to keep warm and cosy on cold nights. The kitchen is well-equipped, the pots and pans are properly non-stick, the knives are actually sharp as well, which is a really good thing to find in a holiday let. There's a good fridge/freezer (makes some quirky noises, but it's very effective!) and dishwasher and the owners leave a nice selection of tea/coffee and biscuits (for both humans and dogs) as well. Out of season, shopping opportunities are limited. Probably the nearest location is the Premier food shop in the Huttoft service station about 8 minutes drive away. Probably best to stock up on food in a big shop on the way in. The only place open at night was the creek tavern in the nearby caravan park, but we didn't venture in as we had brought things with us. Hot tub is brilliant, robes are provided but... DO bring flip-flops or slippers. There is a walk across some sharp stones and a long decking corridor to get to the hot tub. The gardens at the front proved to be dog-secure for our two, who are usually good at finding gaps. The one at the back is well secured, but it isn't a "kick out the back door" type garden, you need to walk across the shared driveway, through a couple of gates and then you're in a secure location with a picnic table. Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms and a small shower/loo, which is handy at night. The twin room is narrow but long, lots of room for kids (or even adults, I guess). The king/twin room is a larger room at the back of the house. We didn't try the bed, so can't comment on comfort. We used the front bedroom with a double - one minor criticism is that I think a king size bed would be better here, rather than just a double. It was comfortable enough, but a bit snug! It's a pretty quiet road so you don't get a lot of traffic noise. Off-season at least. Probably would be livelier in holiday season when the caravan park is busy. Loads of great walks nearby - both near the sea and inland. Footpaths all over the place. Lots of wetlands for birds, and endless stretches of sandy beach. Owners were very responsive and sorted out a couple of minor issues quickly. We thoroughly recommend Beach Haven as a holiday let.

  The Annexe itself was left clean for our arrival and the owner is quite approachable if you need to call him for anything.

  What we did not know was that within 50 yards of the bedroom window is a church tower clock that chimes loudly on the quarter hours with additional gongs on the hour all day and all night long, this could be disturbing for light sleepers as it was for me, little sleep for two weeks. The Annexe stands on a very busy main road, the living room window is right beside the road and the bedroom window is about 2 yards from it, so there’s constant noisy passing traffic all day, starting around 4.30 am and going on until well after midnight. The Annexe does not have a fenced off area should you be taking a dog with you. The Annexe is the only holiday let situated within a busy courtyard of six or seven other properties. Each property has its own parking space outside the front door as has The Annexe. Should you want to sit outside then you’d be sitting on this courtyard and really it’s more of a car park, what with residents coming and going, their visitors and the noisy main road within yards, we didn’t feel comfortable enough to sit out for the two weeks we were there and it was beautiful weather too. During our two weeks there one household was having what was described as “relationship difficulties” and given that their front door is only about 6 yards from the bedroom windows of The Annexe, their behaviours, language, noise level and intimidation towards us when we asked them to quieten down was not what we had paid the owner for ! This Sykes experience was by far the worst we have ever encountered and we left, after 2 weeks, feeling exhausted and very disappointed.

  When we arrived to the property, the black bin was nearly full of rubbish, as the holiday progressed the bin ended up overflowing with our rubbish and my husband did have to squash it down.

  I noted in the clear folder in the lounge area, it stated that the bin day was Wednesday but did not state who's responsibility it was to get the bin emptied, therefor the bin was not emptied. Surely this needs highlighting. The amount paid for the property surely the owner should be putting the bins out, as this was an issue with having two children under three with us going through a lot of nappies a day. Also no iron? Again paying this much for a property an iron and iron boarding should come as a basic. We holidayed in a caravan last month and had an iron and iron board in. No clock anywhere in the house, a clock would be helpful in the lounge or kitchen/diner area. Hardly any mirrors, or mirrors placed in strange areas. Not next to plugs, so how are you meant to do your hair, use the hair dryer etc. Also understandably the house is by the sea and would have a high level of birds flying past, but the decking was covered in bird poo. Which had really put us off sitting and eating out there, with the amount of bird poo. Finally shelving, there was no shelving to place toiletries/deodorants/perfumes/make up onto in any of the bedrooms, again quite poor for me. All of our toiletries ended up on the windowsill, which was quite dangerous with the heat we have just experienced, an aerosol could have exploded from the sun. Please do not take this as completely negative, it was a lovely home and highly decorated. The kitchen was wonderful and the washing machine a blessing. But some basic factors as stated above were just missing. Hence for the 4/5 star rating in the end.

  We were concerned when we arrived at just how small the bungalow was, especially as we were staying for 4 weeks.

  We couldn't however have been more wrong. The bungalow was superbly equipped, even a pair of kitchen scales and an electric whisk! It was warm and cosy with a lovely comfy bed. The washing and drying facilities were no bother being located in a different building as so near by. Anthony was very pleasant and I'm sure if there had been any issues he would have been straight on them! It was lovely to find tea, coffee, sugar, milk and biscuits supplied, and there were even 4 toilet rolls and toiletries as well as lots of extras in the kitchen which we just did not expect. The DVDs were a welcome bonus with the weather being so grotty, but when we did go out we found lots of lovely places to visit; the dog loved the beaches! We found people in the village very friendly, and enjoyed the hostelry in the White Hart, as well as enjoying a superb meal in the Windmill Restaurant. The only thing that wasn't supplied was any bakeware, so we just bought a little roasting tin in the pound shop and left it behind for the next occupant! There is really nothing negative to say at all and we wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. The only thing the bungalow would benefit from would be some draught excluder around the front door as it was a little draughty during the high winds, but that is in no way a complaint!

  Newly refurbished holiday property, just along the road from vast beach.

  House is finished to high standard, and there is a fully secure grassed garden perfect for dogs, and also a fenced in private hot tub area, which is separated from house by a parking space. Hot tub brand new, very very gentle bubble jets. Kitchen well equipped. Lounge has lovely log burner which we didn't use but would be great on colder days. TV isn't connected to an aerial, just streaming services, so you need passwords to any services you subscribe to and remember to log out. Privacy blinds needed at landing and dining room windows which face shared driveway and house next door, owners said they will be installing blinds. Beds variable, we found master bedroom mattress too firm for comfort, we therefore only used rear bedrooms, but mattresses didn't really suit us. Bedroom 2 is the only one with blackout curtains, otherwise curtains thin. Downstairs bathroom large with bath and enclosed shower, lovely. Upstairs shower room, large walk in shower but no heating or towel rail, so we had to use bedroom radiators to dry towels, and would have preferred some heat in bathroom. Owners lovely, responsive and helpful. This is their first holiday let, and is almost perfect. We would recommend this property to anyone visiting this area.
