Fantastic location and an absolutely beautiful place to stay. Hosts are very helpful and friendly. This was our third stay and will most definitely not be the last.
Not really nothing to not like just a shame they no longer offer the breakfast as it was amazing
Loved everything the room was very clean, had everything you could need, the balcony was a nice addition. The host was exceptional, very friendly and welcoming, nothing was too much trouble.
Nothing.
Great location, free parking on site comfortable bed, clean and very quiet for sleeping
Bathroom door was broke
The hotel is in a good location. Easy walk to the shops, arcades, cinema, places to eat and the beach. The room was on the ground floor, twin beds as requested. The room was well equipped and the shower was great.
The room was hot but it was during a hot weather spell so not much could be done. Otherwise we had a great stay.
Room cleaned each day,owner very friendly
Pillows was a little hard for me
Excellent location . Great facilities , loved the balcony room. Good value for money. Friendly host . Large comfortable bed. Pleased to have access to fridge freezer and ironing facilities on the landing.

The location was good.
The location was good, however on our first night my son found tobacco and cannabis is the drawers, the bed and pillows was like a brick and on the last night I found bites on me. Iv had to get antibiotics for the bites
Great location right out on the seafront, lovely and welcoming host, exceptionally clean rooms, sea view :)
Situated on the front and a short walk to the clock tower, shops and sea front. Spotless and cleaned every day, comfortable beds with white bedding and white towels, brilliant hot shower, we were on the ground floor with twin beds and two doors to enter our room so felt even more safe & secure. Good parking at the rear of the hotel for your stay. Stayed twice now and will definitely stay there again. Tara is lovely
Nothing!!!

The location was great not to far to walk to see all the attractions
Прекрасно все! Расположен в непосредственной близи от пляжа.
The Woodthorpe is a lovely hotel in a perfect location for all of the Skegness highlights. Nothing is too much trouble for Tara. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.
Close to town. We stay in this same road as much as we can. Good size bathroom for the size of the room.
It’s not their fault but the room was exceptionally warm. No real access to much breeze being on the back of the property but a fan in the room would have been appreciated.
hotel was quite and clean
the parkin for cars was difficult
Very clean,lovely big room the owner refreshed towels,bedding etc daily.
Nothing i didn't like ,no complaints at all
Great location
Could of done food in
Owner Tara rang me the day before my arrival to inform me of details to let myself in, as she would be out. Although I didn't see her during my visit, I met her on my last day to talk to. She was kind and welcoming. I was solo and room was just right for my needs with a ensuite shower room. It was located on the beachfront and within walking distance of the main attractions, but not close enough not to be disturbed. The room was clean, as no dirt or dust when looked. It was good to have free parking, although limited spaces on a first come first serve basis. I was fortunate to have a space during my stay. I had a comfortable stay and felt safe for the duration. I would recommend this Woodthorpe Hotel for a enjoyable stay in Skegness.👌
As we were experiencing a heatwave I was on the top floor, which was extremely hot during the night. It would have been ideal to have a fan in the room. Luckily I had a mini fan with me.
Close to beach proximity and lovely owner.
Found used food packaging in top 2 drawers of chest of drawers which concerned me about the level of cleaning that had been done.
Lovely host. Great location.
Nothing all good
Fantastic guest house, wonderful staff, everything was absolutely spotless, bed was extremely comfortable, will definitely stay here again.
Excellent 👌👌 .

When we arrived they had apparently double booked our room. I booked 2nd January! They had arranged for us to stay in another hotel due to this
Not staying where i had booked
Great location and Tara was very helpful.
The Woodthorpe is clean and comfortable and the hosts are friendly and helpful. The hotel is a perfect distance from the busy town and the beach is a short walk away.

There was no problems at all with the property, comfy bed but the pillows could have been a bit softer
I love staying at the Woodthorpe, Tara is lovely. The rooms are ckean and comfortable, front facing have a cracking view, great showers and it's right in town so everything is convenient. I stay for work and there is ample room to set up a workstation, WiFi works well everywhere and it's fantastic value for money.

Location and sea view from the room.
No wifi availabilty
Location was good and served the purpose of what we came for.
Excellent location few minutes to town centre, but enough for it to be quiet on a night
Maybe if the room door was a little more secure
Close to everything but far enough away for a good nights sleep
Shower was a little on the less powerful side but warm.
The kettle not working no one around to report it to.hairs in shower drain.
Didn’t have breakfast
Nothing
Payed for a room which i could not get to as it was on the top floor and i am 81 and could not get up the stairs as I struggle to get up steps
Wonderful staff, great location, and such a great price for the size and standard of the room
It’s an old house so you can hear a lot through the walls. I could hear the person in the room next to me use the bathroom constantly through the night! Nothing that can be done about that and overall a minor inconvenience really
Very clean and spacious room
Location was excellent for the beach and town centre
Great room with amazing view of the sea. Comfy bed and very clean room
Someone in a room across had their tv on too loud and wifi loosing connection also if didn't flush toilet right the noise from when it refill wake up everybody
The room was big and the shower was very big i usually struggle and parking on property was a bonus and Tara was very polite and helpful .
No breakfast
Tara very helpful made changes to dates and room booked at short notice. Location excellent within walking distance of most attractions. Excellent low cost bus service to Lincoln.
