Positioned just a stone’s throw away from the beach in the charming seaside town of Mablethorpe is The Beach House.

This delightful holiday home benefits from a welcoming interior completed by four beautifully-appointed bedrooms, an enclosed garden with indulgent hot tub, and off-road parking which is a rarity in this coastal town.

It also boasts a fabulous location paces away from the breath-taking coast and is within reach of the Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Beauty; perfect for families or friends looking to explore the coast with two beloved canine companions.

Cross the threshold to begin your holiday, find a welcoming sitting room with a crackle electric flame-effect stove at its heart; unwind on the plush seating in front of its warmth, the perfect spot after a day full of exploration.

Later, venture into the fully-equipped kitchen/diner to rustle up delicious meals before heading outside to dine alfresco on the spacious patio, the perfect place to watch as the stars fill the sky above.

Enjoy a late night soak in the hot tub, a welcomed luxury after a long day of exploring your surroundings on foot, and where you can round off your day in style.

When the evening draws to a close, head back inside to wash off the day’s adventures in either the ground-floor shower room or the bathroom on the first floor.

Be sure to catch up on some rest before embarking on your next adventure; choose between a ground-floor king-size, a king-size or double on the first floor and a second-floor twin.

If you can tear yourself away from this idyllic dwelling, venture into the local town where you can stock up on the essentials at the local stores, before refuelling with some tasty grub at The Beck or Cedars Bar and Restaurant.

Take a leisurely stroll down to the golden shores of Mablethorpe Beach, the perfect place to enjoy sunny days, splashing around in the sea or simply admiring the breath-taking views.

The lovely Queen’s Park resides only a short distance away and features a miniature railway and boating lake, ideal for a family picnic.

Alternatively, follow the coast to reach The Sea Sanctuary Wildlife Centre or the North Sea Observatory, in addition to Donna Nook where you can amble around the nature reserve; if you’re lucky you might even spot the seals that reside here!

Oham Lakes is also nearby, offering further picturesque vistas with three wonderful fishing pools to fish from, a haven for avid anglers; a tackle shop and cafe are also on-site.

History is also woven throughout the surrounding countryside, head to the ruins of Bolingbroke Castle and the National Trust site of Gunby Hall or venture into the historic and thriving city of Lincoln to tour its cathedral and the Museum of Lincolnshire Life.

With the Lincolnshire Wolds AONB also within accessible distance, boasting a variety of walking, hiking and cycling trails for all ages and abilities, you’ll rarely be short of outdoor opportunities.

Whisk your loved ones away to the coast at The Beach House.

Thank you for your feedback and so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and found the location great and a really nice property. We were very sorry that the upper bay window’s handle lock had jammed making it impossible to move the handle to lock the window. We did order the part on the day but being near the end of your stay arrived afterwards. Again sorry about that. After your vacation we did find some jets in the hot tub had stopped working again apologies. Glad that you still enjoyed the hot tub regardless. Best regards Debbie&Chris.

Location of the property was ideal and the parking for 3 cars was a real bonus.

There were some issues with cleanliness - previous occupants had left dog poo in the garden, messaged the contact number but didn’t get a response, we had cleaned this up ourselves but feel this should have been checked prior to our arrival, particularly as we had children as part of our booking. Some areas need more cleaning (eg sofa crevices!). There is a constant light in the upstairs bedroom, which you get used to and is presumably safety related but is a little annoying initially. The outside bins were also already full when we arrived. The welcome basket was lovely and we overall really enjoyed our stay, Mablethorpe is a lovely seaside town.

Thank you for your feedback and so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and you found Mablethorpe a lovely seaside town. There has been some local council investments in the area one being the leisure complex with Swimming pool and fitness centre, which has been very popular with guests. Regarding the missed dog poop.,we have had a considerable amount of rain every day recently and the day you moved in was raining. The grass is longer than usual and the poop could have been easily missed. Sorry about that I have contacted the cleaners manager about this. The constant light on in the attic bedroom is a fire safety light, some have a very dim glow at night and cannot be turned off. These lights were advised to us by the fire officer to have for a 3 story attic room for safety reasons. We have only ever had one previous complaint about this in over 4 years. Weighing this up against the health and safety reason we think this still a good fire and safety measure. We could start providing eye masks for guests using the attic room, which is a good option. The outside bin, we do check these on changeover and usually make sure there is at least half a bin available. If this was not available for you there is also a large 1100 Litre Wheelie bin at the side that could have been used. All the best.

Fabulous stay had by our family.

The Beach House is brilliantly located as close to beach, shops, entertainment - everything you could want from a seaside holiday. The Welcome pack was full of lovely treats and much appreciated. There was an issue with the hot tub during our stay but the owners responded quickly and tried to sort it out as soon as the issue was raised. We lost a couple of days use of the hot tub due to the power issues but this was outside of their control and didn't take away from what was a lovely holiday. We will definitely be booking again.

We had an absolutely lovely stay at the beach house, it’s the perfect location and great for larger groups!

The welcome basket was a lovely touch. There is ample parking and the house is fully equipped with everything you need for your stay! The hot tub was enjoyed and the outside area has a lovely big table to sit at where we enjoyed some great family meals. Overall some lovely family memories were made here- thank you so much! Just a few little things to note- Unfortunately when we arrived, the toilets were not clean (not even flushed) which we had to clean ourselves and the property itself could do with a little TLC. There was a smell of dog throughout the house which as non-dog owners was a little off-putting but we knew the property was listed as pet friendly but this could be something that could be considered with the cleaners to help neutralise the smell a little.

So pleased that you had an absolutely lovely stay at the Beach House. So sorry that you thought there was a smell of dog throughout the house. We have had very few complaints about the smell of dog, which is one of our main concerns being a pet friendly holiday property. We do regular carpet, upholstery and hard flooring heavy duty pet deodorising, which normally keeps on top of them. I will make sure that this is brought to the attention of our cleaners. Regarding the property needing TLC, this time of year is very hard to re-paint and some walls and skirting can have a few marks. These will be re-painted as soon as possible. Regarding the toilets , it was by coincidence that I was the last one at the property a few moments before you moved in, as I always check over everything and was putting the toilet rolls in the bathrooms and doing the hamper. I remember checking the toilets also and they certainly had been cleaned and not used. I am puzzled to how this could have happened.. Would it be possible that one of your 8 guests could have used them prior to you going in them? I just can't think of any other reason. Bathrooms are a top priority for cleaners and they just would not miss them, specially both, it is the last job they do before mopping the floors. But anyway, thank you for your feedback and your remarks about the dog smells will be looked into. Best regards.

The location of the Beach House was perfect for our long weekend in Mablethorpe.

We were welcomed with a great basket of treats and basics such as butter, bread and tea & coffee, a lovely cake and some biscuits, even the dog got some treats. It was a really thoughtful gesture and was greatly appreciated. Overall the house was great, plenty of space, good amenities and amble parking for 3 cars. We used the outside space quite a bit so a secure back garden was perfect for our family dog. We didn’t use the hot tub so I am unable to comment on this. Generally the house was clean and tidy but I would say that the house could have been a little cleaner when we arrived. In the main bedroom there was makeup on the dresser from the previous guest and some surfaces throughout the house needed to be wiped. There was also the odd cobweb and dust in places such as the skirting boards. The sheets on the twin room upstairs also smelt a little stale. One small annoyance was that the property had two showers but you were unable to use them at the same time. With 8 adults staying this became a bit of a chore in a mornings to get everyone showered and out the door. Checking in and out was easy however some additional information on what to do with rubbish and linen would have been great as we were unsure.

Thank you for your feedback and so happy that you enjoyed your stay and found the house clean and tidy. Owners do appreciate the feedback (as long as it is fair and honest). Regarding your remarks and about the house could have been cleaner, as you found some dust on a skirting board, mack-up on the dressing table ,the odd cobweb, and bedding that smelt a little stale. I am shocked to read as we were not made aware of them at the time of your stay. We leave all our contact details for guests if they are not happy with anything. We even state please contact us anytime if you have any issues as we are local. We understand that some guests do not like to complain but I am sure you are ok with that with leaving your complaints in feedback on Sykes. On the day you moved in, we the owners were there most of the day. along with 3 cleaners who did a 4 hour clean. I saw them on their knees wiping down all the skirtings, they sanitised and cleaned all surfaces. Holiday let’s have a full internal house clean after each guests, having to be done in a matter hours. The 3 cleaners never stopped for the whole 4 hours they were there, they worked tremendously hard. I checked all rooms and can even remember checking the surfaces and dressing table top. I also checked for any cobwebs as this seems to be a pet hate with some guests and saw none. The house was very clean in fact spotless. The property is only several meters away from the sandy beach opposite and if windy we can get sand blow in when the front facing door is opened and left open like when guests are moving in their belongings. I can only presume that some sand/dust may have blown in this way. The cobweb could have been missed by the cleaners and myself, sometimes it happens, sorry about that. The sheets we could have changed if you were not happy with them. But we were never made aware of this. The information about the bins are left in the folder giving bin days, dates and info about the colour coded bins and what is what. Also under the bin lids states what is to be put in each. The linen we do supply linen baskets in each bedroom for dirty linen and wet towels are usually left in the bath or shower. I just feel that the cleaners work extremely hard and sometimes do not deserve the negative feedback like the odd cobweb or some dust on skirtings which is almost impossible not to have even in a 5* hotel. If we were informed about the issues at the time and did nothing about them, then negative feedback would be fair. But not to inform us to give the cleaners chance to do the bits they may have overlooked would have been fair. We are pleased though that it did not seem to spoil your stay and that you thought the house was clean and tidy. Best regards.

Overall a good stay.

Positives, a great welcome pack and good selection of games, the hot tub is massive which is great. Good to have off-road parking and location right in the town centre is excellent. I agree with others that the pictures do make it look bigger than it is. Staying with a baby, we couldn’t get the pram in the front door as the corridor and baby gate made is so narrow. I used the washer - an essential staying with a baby - but then found the dryer wouldn’t work as the water tub was full but it was impossible to empty without taking the kitchen apart to get to it. The mattress in the first floor double room sinks in the middle and wasn’t comfortable. The bathroom on the first floor has been grouted not silicon sealed between the tiles and bath meaning it’s got gaps and the grout looking a bit dirty - you notice these things when bathing a baby! Staying with a parent who has mobility and sight issues, the floors are uneven throughout the property and the downstairs shower room is very small. Part of the reason of booking this property was it had a ground floor bathroom and bedroom. One of the jets in the hot tub doesn’t work as the grey dial that switches it on/off is stuck/broken in the off position. This is an honest review of what we found and feedback to the owners and we did have a good stay.

Owner response:

So glad you had a good stay. Thank you for your feedback that we appreciate to receive good and bad as long as it is honest and fair. THE BABY GATE is easily removed just unclips off the wall being the roller blind type .We would have gladly removed this for you if asked. TUMBLE DRYER . This is a normal condenser dryer, the water tub is on the left side of the big round central control knob at the top front of the dryer, the draw just pulls out and easily empties. THE MATTRESS. I must thank you for bringing this to our attention the middle central support leg which was supporting underneath the bed is missing for some reason, this has been quickly rectified. THE BATHROOM GROUT. is grey colour to match tiles, this has now been re-siliconed in white. THE HOT TUB. Has several dials and numerous jets one was a little stiff which too has now been rectified. UNEVEN FLOORS. The ground floor is flat laminate flooring apart from the bedroom which is carpeted, there are not any steps or slopes apart from the entry step . Ideal for guests with mobility issues. The property is a Victorian semi detached town house of good average size the kitchen/diner we actually extended. THE SHOWER ROOM is compact but holds a standard 800 quadrant shower separate toilet and sink it is not the main bathroom and serves well being ground floor and close to the hot tub. I am sorry that you were disappointed with some parts of the property and appreciate your feedback but feel that we were never given the chance to fix the issues only being informed about them when reading your feedback on Sykes which is a little unfair but glad that you enjoyed your stay with us regardless. All the best Chris &Debbie. .
