We arrived as planned and checked in a hour early.Ian met us on our arrival,a lovely man and nothing was to much trouble for him.We were left some welcome treats including wine,beer,milk,bread and biscuits.The location is perfect less than 5 minutes from the beach.15 minutes steady walk to Skegness and approx 20 mins to Butlins.There are plenty of shops nearby including Aldi and Iceland.The hot tub was amazing,we used it everyday.The heating was very good and immediate.We were very comfy and cosy.We slept with the window open slightly and although we could hear the traffic it wasn't a problem.We will definitely rebook for next year.We had a lovely time.

Excellent location. Fantastic personal touches including welcoming wine, fruit, paper, milk and butter. Everything needed in the cottage. Host on hand if needed. Hot tub lovely. Safe and secure for my dog.Outside could do with some attention.....decking and seating.Would book again when planning to visit the area.
