Weekend break

I booked this bed and breakfast last minute Luckily I got this gem of a b and b The booking was super easy, correspondence with the owner was exceptional. On arrival we were greeted by Claire one of the owners very friendly and gave us very clear instructions about our stay . The room was ideal for us as there were only myself and my husband and we're staying just two nights . We had everything we could possibly need and we were messaged to say if we needed anything to let them know . I liked the personal touch of this. Room was excellent very clean and has a heater if it was to drop cold. Will definitely be using again and can't wait to return.

Ivydene the place to stay

My husband and I stayed at the Ivydene with are two children from 8th-11th August, it's was such a lovely, welcoming place to stay. The room was lovely and clean and there was plenty of room for the 4 of us. The Breakfast choices were fantastic and there was something for everyone. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming. Perfect location for the beach and amenities. We would highly recommend and definitely be booking again.

Disappointed

Disappointing from the start. 2 spaces only to park & empty but was told couldn't park t here. Was told we're on top floor so explained not poss. & was changed to first floor but room very small, shower trickled & barely warm. Bed most uncomfortable. Petty over breakfast. We left after 2 sleepless nights instead of 4. Will not be returning.

Good value for money bed and breakfast.

Very clean and nicely decorated but our attic room was very small and restricted by the sloping ceiling. The breakfast was good and we found the place very good value for the price we paid. The location is perfect for access to beach and amenities.

Our weekend at the Ivydene

This is a really good little b&b, the owner was very friendly and welcoming. The room we was put in was a little small but it wasn't uncomfortable. Parking was a little sparse with only 4 spaces but there is car parks only a few minutes walk away. The center of skegness is just a short walk away. The facilities at the ivydene are excellent the breakfast was really good with the option to upgrade to a large for just £1.50 we were only waiting a couple of minutes before it was on the table, the owner does this all on her own, she is such a lovely lady, thank you very much for a lovely weekend. We will certainly consider staying there again when we next visit.

It was just amazing. Melina is the perfect host. Very friendly. Food amazing. Very covid safe, so felt really comfortable there. Bedroom lovely, not too big, ample room for both of us. Close to main areas, but enjoyed the walking that we did. Didn't use the car at all as we were so close to everything. Thoroughly recommend the Ivydene

Never again

The welcome was pleasant. The room was very small and the beds was underneath the stairs which made it very difficult to get in and out of. We rang the guest house the day before our arrival to let them know it would be about 8pm when we will be arriving as we was coming from Manchester and had to wait for the children to finish school we arrived at the guest house at 8.10pm put our bags in the room and went down for a bar snack as the kids was hungry only to be told the kitchen shut 5 minutes ago but could buy crisp and a drink at the bar as we was tired we did buy crisps and a drink each which cost us almost £20 for the 4 of us......would we go here again or recommend it to anyone.........NO
