  • "We had a pleasant stay in Bumblebee cottage."

    Very quiet estate. Secure parking. Comfortable beds. We slept very well. Good seating. WiFi good. Quality smart TV. Cosy and warm. Good shower but not suitable for those with limited mobility. Very dog secure garden even for small dogs. Convenient location on edge of Skegness. A few minor issues that need addressing IMO. Only two knives. Frying pan useless. No oven glove or tea towel. There was no hand soap in either kitchen or bathroom. No salt or pepper and no welcome pack whatsoever. You will need everything from minute one including milk for a cup of tea. Cooker oven really needs better instructions or replacement as markings have rubbed off through use. No washing up bowl. But these are minor issues and I would stay again if visiting area again. I would recommend this holiday let.

  • "We enjoyed our time at Bumble Bee Cottage, the cottage was warm and welcoming and comfortable."

    The bed is very large and comfortable and we slept very well. The cottage is in a very quiet part of Skegness but in easy reach of town, all that was missing was some milk in the fridge on arrival but overall we enjoyed the cottage and we would stay there again sometime.

  • "What a lovely holiday home."

    The bungalow is clean and well furnished and kitted out as a home from home. The kitchen has everything you need and more! The dishwasher was easy to work and fast. There is also a washer and dryer. The heating worked well and it was really cosy. The garden was maintained and I should imagine is summer is a great place to relax. Skegness itself was a pleasant surprise. Lots of individual shops, very clean and lots of good places to eat. I definitely recommend Bumble Bee cottage and would like to return in the future.

    This was our fourth visit to Bumble bee cottage _the place was spotless and we had a peaceful and relaxing holiday the only negative is the outside area is neglected and does not give the cottage justice

    Cooker was a bit of issue, couldn't seem to get the fan assist working but no big deal. Comfy bed, plenty of closet space, garden was secure for the pup, ideal base for Skegness .

  • "Bumblebee cottage was lovely and cosy situated in a lovely surbubian area not far from town."

    The only thing that let it down for me was not been able to put heating on in the mornings which were cold & the oven was tricky to work but I would recommend to people but in the summer when it's hot as the heating issue is the only negative I can think of but a lovely little place and I did enjoy it there.

  • "Bumblebee Cottage was very spacious and very well equipped."

    However the carpets throughout the property are stained cream colour maybe wrong colour for pet friendly let. No instructions for the use of the electric oven. We were unable to use it as the temperature and zone dials have no settings positions visible. Garden area was not usable as the furniture was full of dead insects, leaves as well as cushions stained and wet. Also overgrown bushes at the rear and side of the property. I am afraid we will not look to book this property again for a property that has a 4 tick rating for us it fell short of expectations. Not value for money because of the issues we encountered

  • "Of all the properties we have rented through Sykes this was the best equipped."

    The property has obviously been well cared for and maintained. Kitchen equipment levels were much better than we had expected, which pleased us greatly. The sun lounge, with it's reclining armchairs, was much appreciated during a short period of inclement weather as it allowed us to watch a short lived thunderstorm in comfort. The chairs were marvellous for catching up on our reading, also. Everything we needed to enjoy our holiday was available at the cottage and we were very pleased with our rental. One small niggle: the main bedroom faces east so at 05.00 the sun shone brightly into the room, disturbing our sleep. We managed to come up with an easy fix but a pair of lined curtains would be a good idea, otherwise absolutely no complaints just highly recommended.

  • "Lovely cosy cottage, with everything you need for your stay."

    Very clean and tidy on arrival, no welcome pack which was slightly disappointing and no contact with the owners (access is with key box) unless something goes wrong. Skegness is approx one and a half miles. With m&s and aldi about 1/2 mile. The bungalow is on a quiet estate, with views over fields which combined with the garden and sun rooms is very pleasent. All in all an excellent cottage and would fully recommend.

    There was everything there that you could want. The conservatory was lovely to sit in and watch all the birds and the 2 large reclining armchairs were very comfortable. We also loved the garden and the field views, particularly when the cows came to say hello. Also happy with the addition of the smart TV which was very handy on rainy days.

    We found bits of bread under the bedroon furniture, and an empty cake box under a chair in the living room. More detailed instructions on uding the cooker would be a great help - the provided booklet explains nothing on how to use other than turning onbthe hot plates. Other than that, we had a great holiday in a lovely quiet, peaceful location. Views out the back were wonderful and the cows came to visit, much to the amusement of our dog! We would definitely consider returning to Bumblebee Cottage in the future.

  • "Very nice and comfortable bungalow."

    Loved the sun room at the back. Could relax and view the lovely surroundings and bird life. There were a couple of issues that need addressing. The shower head needs replacing as it’s impossible to avoid soaking the bathroom as the spray goes everywhere. Also the t.v. reception is poor. We couldn’t watch any of the available channels as the picture kept breaking up. Luckily Netflix was available which was a plus. We could see from the guest book that both these problems have been highlighted before. Bottom line is that we have been charged for services that simply weren’t there and should have been fixed. Having said that we had a great break.

The property

Nestled in a quiet corner of Skegness, just over a mile away from the town centre, is this lovely semi-detached cottage.

With views of fresh green countryside from the enclosed garden at the rear, yet within easy reach of sandy shores and the colourful promenade, number 10 St. Vincent Close offers the perfect location.

The front door leads to a small porchway and into the living room.

Here, you can relax among a palette of muted colours and tasteful furnishings, before gathering around the dining table for your evening meal.

The sun room is filled with light, perfect for taking yourself off for a quiet read.

A door leads out to the garden, which wraps itself right around the back of the cottage, allowing for a perfect family or couple retreat.

Make your way through to the kitchen, where stylish white units counterbalance sleek worktops.

The two charming bedrooms are situated on the same floor, accompanied by a neutrally designed bathroom with a bath tub and a shower.

The small single room adjoins another small conservatory, which has a curtain you can pull across for privacy, or you can leave it open and fill the room with natural light.

There is also access from here to the rear garden, where a mixture of pebbled and paved areas play host to a collection of plant pots and lush shrubbery clustered together.

Sit on the sunny garden furniture, shaded by the parasol, where you can enjoy a refreshing drink and a close encounter with nature's wildlife.

Views stretch out towards the back fields, where deer and cows come right up to the fence to greet you - you may even be lucky enjoy to see a fox!.

There are many attractions close by and a bus stop about five-minutes walk away will take you straight into Skegness, if you wish to leave the car at home.

You can enjoy an array of indoor and outdoor activities to suit all tastes, including a fun filled day at the amusements along the pier, or exploring the beautiful Lincolnshire Wolds.

The aviation museum and Natureland seal sanctuary are among various other popular attractions.

There are also many historic market towns in the surrounding area to explore from this homely base.
