Snaptrip says
Hallstead in Skegness is a well-received cottage with a beautiful garden, close to the beach, and praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and thoughtful touches like holiday decorations. The hot tub, sauna, and games room are popular, although there were some concerns about hot tub availability and parking.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The property was consistently described as clean upon arrival, indicating high standards of cleanliness.
The cottage's proximity to the beach and local attractions is appreciated, though the mention of a busy road suggests some concerns.
Guests found the property comfortable, with super comfy beds and a great shower, but noted that an additional bathroom would be beneficial for larger groups.
Facilities like the hot tub and sauna are highlights, but issues with hot tub readiness and parking have affected the score. The absence of an air hockey table as advertised also suggests some room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.
Guests appreciated the thoughtful touches such as holiday decorations, but as gifts are not consistently mentioned, it's politely noted that such gestures are not guaranteed.

Well decorated, clean and spacious. Lots of room outside in different areas. The kids areas was brilliant and the games room. We visited in December so unfortunately couldnât use the conservatory as it was too cold. The owners were very friendly and accommodating and left us a gift. The Christmas decorations were a lovely touch too. Super comfy king size beds and a great shower. We would definitely return and recommend.

On the day we arrived we found that the placed had been decorated for Halloween which my daughter absolutely loved. Itâs little details like this that really do make your feel appreciated. The house was exactly as advertised but some how was even better than we thought it would be. Itâs the prefect place to go to get its nice and quiet but also not too far away from local attractions and also the sea front. So I would 1000% recommend to everyone.
