Caxton House

We stayed at Caxton House for two nights from August 2nd to 4th, booked through Skye's Cottages. Upon arrival, we found no instructions left for us. With a group of 21 people, we were disappointed to discover that the kitchen was sticky with food crumbs everywhere. The sink and tap were absolutely disgusting, so we had to clean the entire kitchen, including bleaching the sink to remove stains and disinfecting it. The whole property hadn't been vacuumed properly; there was fur and bits of rubbish left behind. The bins had rubbish left without liners. The cordless vacuum provided was broken and inadequate for the property. The rooms had cobwebs, making the kids upset and hesitant to sleep. The bathrooms and toilets were horrifically dirty and not cleaned properly. We spent our first day cleaning the place. The carpets in the rooms were in poor condition, and the mattresses were very flimsy, with springs digging into our backs. The tables and worktops were sticky. Despite the issues, the children had fun, and the location is convenient, being within walking distance to the beach and nearby shops. Fortunately, we requested a late checkout, which we hadn't initially planned for. However, I strongly advise the host to address these cleanliness issues and make the property more hygienic.

We stayed at Caxton House for the 1st time Sat 10th June for 1 night. 2 adults & 1 teenager. As soon as we pulled up, one word.....WOW! A very nice looking hotel raised from the quite cul-de-sac where it is situated. First things noted, ample free private off street parking, a foot wash for sandy feet, an electric vehicle charging port, numerous outside seating around a small fountain. The owner (Dave) came out to greet is on arrival. Wendy (I'm assuming his wife) was at the reception desk. Both very friendly. Asked if we'd like some drinks from the fridge to take up to our room. We were out in room 7. Another word.....WOW. Very nicely decorated and very comfortable with a private BALCONY over looking the cul-de-sac, a very quite street. You could see the sea from the balcony. A very nice toilet / shower room. There was a communal type room next to us with boards games and a fridge containing milk, juice & water if we needed it. All complimentary. We went out for the evening but came back about 1030pm. Next morning breakfast was at 830. The breakfast room was probably one of the best I've ever seen! A large selection of self-service hot drinks, a large selection of cereals (including GF), juice, yogurts, fruit, croissants etc. It was all perfectly arranged and such a massive choice. A cooked breakfast was served with thick slices of Tiger bread. Very nice & very hot. The hotel also has a lounge with board games, a pool table, a kids drawing / colouring area and a COCKTAIL ARCADE GAMES CABINET. All these were free. Checkout was at 10am, maybe very slightly early but not an issue to detract from the overall experience. Anyone giving this accommodate less than 5 stars needs a complete reality check! We've stayed in many hotels and I can honestly say that Caxton House is one of the best. I am very, very impressed given all the extras other hotels wouldn't even dream of giving. It's only a 5min walk from the most fantastic sandy beach and just a 9-10min walk along a straight road to the centre of Skegness. We will 💯 be staying here again without hesitation.

Stayed at this hotel for one night with friends as it had been recommended to us and it was lovely . The staff are very friendly, the rooms are good, the breakfast was superb and you are treated to free water , drinks and snacks from the fridge. Greeted with a smile on arrival and waved off when you leave, this is the place to stay in Skegness. Customer service at it's best.

Very clean accommodation, friendly and helpful staff..Would Highly Recommend..Excellent parking facilities, convenient to local attractions which are in walking distance..Ideal location for family vacation, loads to see and do in Skegness..

The couple who run this hotel are an absolute delight, very welcoming and extremely helpful. From arrival to departure they made sure we were comfortable and had everything we need for an enjoyable stay. They provide so many extras on top of a well equipped room. We had a very comfortable night and the breakfast was outstanding. I fully recommend a stay here. I wish we had booked for more than one night.

From the second we pulled into the driveway which has ample parking, we were greeted with a smile and offered complimentary drinks from the fridge (my son jumped at the chance when he spotted the J20's) Our room was spacious, very clean and had a lovely little balcony overlooking the quiet cul de sac. The room had plenty of tea/coffee, and everything we needed. Bed linen and towels smelt amazing :) The hotel has a games room with free pool table and arcade game which was great, also plenty of games, toys and magazines. On reception there are little booklets with money off coupons which saved us a few pennies at the Seal Sanctuary which was amazing, and for food Breakfast was fantastic, all freshly cooked and plenty of yogurts, fruits and pastries too, we were spoilt for choice The hotel is on a quiet street and a short walk to the beach so perfect location Can't fault it one bit, by far the best B&B we have stayed in, my Son even got to take a couple of toys home as it was his birthday the next day which was such a kind gesture Thank you for our stay, it was very memorable
