Guests say

Guests have enjoyed their stays at Head Brewers House, praising its lovely setting, comfortable beds, and well-equipped kitchen. The beautiful garden, warm hot tub, and fun albeit chilly swimming pool add to the charm. Some guests mentioned cleanliness issues and maintenance needs, but the quick response to problems and the overall experience were highly regarded. The property's proximity to Skegness and local amenities was appreciated.

The property generally received positive remarks for cleanliness, with comfortable beds and a well-maintained hot tub. However, some guests noted a need for a deeper clean in areas like skirting boards and light shades, and dust in the secret room.

The location is well-received, with easy access to Skegness via train, local pubs, and takeaways. The convenience for beach trips and the friendly village atmosphere contribute to a positive experience.

Guests found the house comfortable, with super comfy beds and great showers. The spaciousness and cosy rooms were also highlighted, although some guests experienced issues with hot water and oven functionality.

The property's facilities, including the kitchen, dining room, and outdoor areas, were praised. However, points were deducted for the non-heated pool, broken hot tub controls, and issues with oven and washing machine functionality.

The hosts were described as brilliant, and a welcome treat was mentioned, indicating thoughtfulness. However, it should be noted that such gestures are a bonus and not guaranteed for every stay.

    The house and location was lovely. We did wonder if sharing bathrooms might be a problem but it wasn’t at all. We didn’t use the bedrooms in the attic but they were set up beautifully. somebody previously had left the frying pans in a state so we had to clean all them up to use them. The tall long thin oven was the only oven we could use on the right hand side the others we couldn’t get to work. The garden was beautiful. The hot tub was warm. We even used the swimming pool very cold but good fun. We had a problem with the window but it was sorted within minutes. Would recommend anybody to come to this house. It was a great Week.

    Fabulous house with everything you need. (Except a cafetière and a large teapot) Lovely and clean, super comfy beds. Great showers with good water pressure. Great kitchen area, awesome dining room and living room. Outside areas are fabulous. Had an amazing time in the hot tub. If you are brave enough to go in the freezing pool (like me) then lots of fun to be had. I promise once you’re used to the cold it’s fine. I would gladly pay extra to have the pool heated as this was the only thing that would have improved the stay, as some of the party couldn’t get in the pool,Chinese up the road was great and we had a lovely meal at The Angel and Peacock on Sunday.Quick journey to the beach on the train is well worth it.Everyone in the party had a great time. I would definitely return..I did experience one issue with the booking side in regard to the check in email, I did not receive this and had to chase it up. I got a WhatsApp message after calling the phone number with the key code,

    Lovely weeks stay, it was great just jumping on the train which took us straight into Skegness on a bank holiday Monday it saved us stressed parking etc…It’s just a shame the pool was so cold. The hot tub was good but all of the controls are broken meaning no bubbles
