Nice room, friendly hosts, well located.

I stayed here for two nights whilst in the area for business. I didn't have the breakfast so afraid I can't comment on that.
The host was very friendly and helped with directions to the town etc. and the room was comfortable with everything I needed.

Wonderful hotel

First class, friendly, couldn't do enough for you, I was due to have a single room, and as I have trouble with stairs, they gave me a family room for the same rate, I will definitely return there again, best place I have stayed in for many years I give them 5 stars.

Fantastic value for £35 including an excellent breakfast, free Wi-Fi free car parking. The owner even carried my bag up 2 flights of stairs.
Lovely single room and if i was paying a lot more i would expect a bigger TV and an easier en suite door but the quality of the bed and everything else was simply unbelievable for a hotel 500 yards from beach for just £35

One of the best

This is a brilliant small hotel, it is more than just a bnb. There is a lounge, games room and bar for those rainy days or for the evening. It more than met our expectations with it's recently renovated room and bathroom plus flat screen tv and tea / coffee facilities. There is no cutting corners with the breakfast, cereal, fruit, juices full english with toast etc. Not forgetting the host who made us very welcome,a really pleasant stay.

Bright, spacious, clean and helpful hotel &staff

This hotel was booked on a wim, I did not think it would be anything special just somewhere to get my head down, that was within budget, within location and obviously NOT fully booked. i travel down to the area of the location of the hotel as i have family here, i have stayed at a few different hotels and i am so happy that i decided to book The Craig Side hotel as i was pleasantly surprised how bight, spacious and airy the place was, thew was no after smell of previous guests or the horrible smell of fried food coming from the kitchen that one often smells in a guest house hotel set up. the hotel smelt fresh and clean though out not clinical but homely clean, its clear the owners and the house keeping team keep a tight and steady ship as standards of cleanliness are high, the quality of rooms and cleaning is what one would expect from a 4 start hotel (better than Travel-lodge or Premiere Inn).

the only criticism i have is that the room i resided in room 11, it was a great room with great space however the bed slanted slightly to the right and the window had a gap in and would let cold air in, however it was NOT cold as each room has a heater that YOU the guest can control, how ever the owners are very helpful and will try and fore-fill all your requests.

Untill next time; as i will be staying again, thank you

Theatre night break.

We only needed a nights stay, so booked this online and were not disappointed. The location is great, being near to the centre of Skegness's sea front, warm and comfy room, nice firm bed and extremely good owners who chatted with everyone but were busy about their business all the time. Tea and coffee in the room, clean towels. Shower good. The full English breakfast was as good if not better than many we have had and we are considering going back for a week next summer.

Absolutely lovely hosts, made us feel very welcome! Hotel needs updating but it would be unfair to judge them on this as they have only owned it for 6 months and are planning a refurb when the profits roll in! Overall a really clean and welcoming place, great place for kids as well, would definitely recommend, nice breakfast too!
