Guests say
Harbour View is a well-received holiday cottage, praised for its quiet location, spaciousness, and cleanliness. Guests appreciate the added luxuries of a hot tub and tennis court, as well as the property's suitability for family gatherings. The proximity to Skegness and local amenities is noted, with the enclosed outdoor space being a bonus for pet owners. Some minor issues with comfort and maintenance are mentioned, but overall, guests recommend the property and express a desire to return.
The property is generally described as very clean, with one report of dirty dishes and cookware. The majority of guests found the cleanliness to their satisfaction, hence the high score.
The location is frequently praised for being quiet and ideal for relaxation, with easy access to the coast and local village. The convenience to Skegness and local shops is appreciated, contributing to a high score.
While the property is often described as lovely and spacious, there are several mentions of uncomfortable sofas and a lack of comfortable outdoor seating, which affects the comfort score.
Facilities like the hot tub and tennis court are highlights, though there are comments about the hot tub needing maintenance and the vacuum cleaner not being powerful enough. Overall, the facilities are well-regarded.
There is a single mention of a welcome pack with goodies and plants, which indicates thoughtfulness. However, as it is not a recurring theme in the reviews, it is not possible to accurately score this category. Guests should note that such gifts are a kind gesture and not guaranteed.

Lovely spacious, well equipped accommodation, comfortable beds.Enclosed outside space meant our dog was safe at all times.Good location only 5 miles from the coast.Hot tub and use of tennis court was an added bonus.Quality Chinese in village but be aware it’s cash only.Key collection instructions were vague so had to phone for advice. A key safe might be easier. Sofas were dusty and jaded- not very inviting or comfortable. Enjoyed a 3 night stay- finishing off a 50th birthday celebration- thank you!
