  Fabulous owners who allowed us to check in early as the property was ready on arrival, the communication was superb from pre-arrival, during our stay and leaving.

  We were greeted with a bottle of fizz and a lovely welcome and happy new year card. We all absolutely loved the property it had ample space for the group of 16 (10 month old to 50 year old) and it had something for everyone, the games room and hot tub are a brilliant asset for the older teenagers of the group and warmed up the old bones after days out. The living space enables all of the party to be able to enjoy time together and time to relax. We didn’t take any dogs but the garden was enclosed and would still have had plenty of room. No pet smell and no sign of pets being at the property so cleaning standards were great. The only issue we encountered was a blocked drain which was sorted immediately after a quick message to the owner. The jolliest plumber I have ever met arrived onsite and repaired and cleaned quickly he was such lovely guy and nothing was too much trouble… amazing service. The location of the property is perfect to explore Skegness on foot (no driving for the week - onsite parking) lots of good places to eat, drink and visit over the festive season which was unexpected, therefore we spent money and time supporting local businesses which isn’t usually an option out of season. Great owners and a lovely property, we loved Skegness and are looking to return in the summer.

  We had a lovely family weekend at Caxton House Jan 2025.

  Would definitely stay again. Thank you so much. Owners had left external lights on for us with it being dark at time of arrival and the heating was on so it was nice and warm on arrival. Very clean and tidy (just a few cobwebs on the light fittings in some rooms, but some of the room ceilings were very high). Only a short (10-15 min) walk into town centre. Shop at the bottom of the street and plenty of takeouts. Foot wash for muddy/sandy boots (though was great idea) we just didn't need it as it was very frosty when we were there). Owners had left us some washing up liquid a tea towel and a sponge. Toilet roll in all bathrooms and some rooms had hand wash, some didn't. No dishwasher tablets (bought some and left them in cupboard for next person). No testing strips for the hot tub so didn't end up using as couldn't smell and chlorine. Spent most of our time in the games room, the living room was lovely but it was very cold. Didn't see thermostat for this room till we were leaving. The room directly next to single bedroom (with the balcony). This mattress needs replacing, we wanted this room but mattress was so uncomfortable (just at the end of its life that's all). Would highly recommend this property and stay again.

  Unfortunately, it fell short of expectations.

  The heating in approximately five of the bedrooms was not working, leaving those rooms uncomfortably cold throughout our stay. This made it particularly difficult to relax and enjoy the house in colder weather. Additionally, I was surprised to find that soap wasn’t provided in the toilets. For the price and setup of the property, I would have expected basic toiletries to be supplied. The cleanliness also left something to be desired—while the main areas were acceptable, several spots felt overlooked and below the standard you’d expect from a rental property. Another issue was the lack of clear instructions for the fire alarm system and the access code. This caused unnecessary confusion during the stay and could be problematic in an emergency. It would be helpful if the owners ensured these details are clearly provided for future guests. Overall, while the house has potential, these issues made the stay less comfortable and convenient than we’d hoped. With better preparation and attention to these points, it could be a much better experience for others.

  The property was amazing, we had booked the property for my mum's 80th birthday but sadly she had passed away before her birthday.

  We all decided to go anyway and have a brilliant weekend celebrating her birthday and life. There was 22 adults and 4 kids, the games area was fabulous with the space invaders and pool to keep the kids entertained it was just like been in a very friendly pub without having to pay for your drinks. :-) Plenty of car parking spaces, the kitchen area was very modern with plenty of dining/seating area which was big enough for us to all have our meals together. Everything that you need from the kitchen too, plenty of cutlery and crockery, lovely Chinese at the bottom of the road we placed an order and picked up 45 mins later. If you turn right out of the property it takes you straight onto the beach and down onto the peer. I have not been to Skegness for a very long time and it was really nice to see how much money had been invested into the town to make the beaches and surround areas really really nice. More than enough upstairs space and downstairs space for everyone, 10/10 would recommend to anyone with a large party, would revisit again.

  We (14 adults, one toddler, one dog) had an amazing stay at Chalfont Lodge.

  Spacious and well equipped, it suited us very well.The downstairs bedroom was great for my 86 year old parents. We made good use of the hot tub and pool table and even had a kitchen disco in the fun room! We did a lot of cooking and apart from struggling with the oven (should have read the manual) there was almost everything we required. Remember to take kitchen roll and tea towels. Justine was very quick to reply to emails and when I called the emergency number as we accidentally set off the fire alarm, the lady answered straight away and was very helpful. Five star service. The only areas which could be improved on are: the outside space needs a good sweep up and the cigarette bin emptied, some of the bedroom doors don't close very well, some beds didn't have mattress covers and the pillows were a bit of a poor standard. Chalfont Lodge is by far the best property we have rented as a family and we have been up to Scarborough and down to Sheringham and a couple of places in between! Well done to the owners for getting it up to this standard.
