Amanda

The house could be lovely and is in a great spot but really needs a good clean and maintenance and some tlc. Even if it is up for sale standards should be maintained when you are charging 1000 for a week. It was like you didnt care.

Lovely place to stay with plenty of room, had everything you could need provided . Very clean and well kept.

I wish I had paid more attention to the reviews from April 2024 and not believed those who described this house as lovely! It is far from lovely it is dated and shabby and the photos on the Sykes website are certainly not an indicator of what we found. I will place a review on TripAdvisor so that I can post photographs. The curtains are so thin we were kept awake by security lightswoken at dawn. We covered 1 window with bin bags as it had no blind or curtain One room with 2 windows had 2 pairs of shabby mismatched curtains and was so scruffy it looked like a squat!! Bedroom upstairs had a sheet which didn't fit the bed and pinged off in the night, plus pillowcases stained with dried paint All bed linen was tired and scruffy and scratchy as my 5year old granddaughter said The seating in the sitting room had throws and cushions that were thick with dust all strategically placed to hide the countless rips in the faux leather sofas. 2 mismatched shower curtains in the wet room where the electric shower provides hot water, but poor pressure Kitchen drawer fronts feel sticky and greasy, crumbs in the cutlery drawer There were plastic flowers on every surface, the house is crammed with mismatched furniture and some of the most bizarre light fittings! One laminated sheet of basic information re nearest doctor etc, but no leaflets, local info etc, nothing to make you feel welcome The gardens, front and back are very neat and tidy. More care and attention has been paid to the outside than the inside of this house for some time. The proximity to the beach was great via the steps from the garden We noted immediately that the property is For Sale and assume that the owners no longer have any interest in presenting it as advertised for holiday guests. It is certainly NOT 4 and I wonder when Sykes Cottages last inspected it We did not stay for the 4th night we had paid for

Lovely quirky house, our second stay ,loo added upstairs now so more convenient ... Lovely quirky house, our second stay ,loo added upstairs now so more convenient for upstairs guests,lovely seating area outside ,which was used alot as good weather most of week ,near to mablethorpe shops ,just a two minutes walk to lake , steps at back to direct beach , highly recommend , few changes needed ,but over all good value for what we payed

Jillian

Great cottage and great location. Everything you need in the kitchen ie cooking utensils. The front and back garden really lovely and great garden furniture. All in all we all had a fantastic stay at the cottage. Also the leisure centre In Mablethorpe has a great swimming pool I went 3 times. Well worth a visit. Thank you mrs jones

Lovely stay clean and very homely, problem with heating resolved straight away, beds comfy, Children loved being able to chill in their own rooms with TV, s few cracks on kitchen and bathroom floor but didn't affect our stay, close to amenities, next to beach, have booked already to return hopefully may have a upstairs loo as plenty of room for one, would recommend to anyone

Joanne

Lovelly house good location for beach and town would definitely stay again the ... Lovelly house good location for beach and town would definitely stay again the only complaint would be need a toilet upstairs but didn't ruin the holiday was a lovely stay

Everything was as stated. We all had a really nice stay. The only thing that needs doing is a deep clean of the wet room, really bad black mould. But apart from that a lovely place to stay.

A dishwasher would help as the kitchen is so small. We did try to hoover up but the cleaner left such a doggy smell we didn't complete it. Perhaps if the cleaner was emptied after a doggy visit that would help. We also had to clear dog poo off the artificial grass when we arrived. We loved the retreat and thought it was in a perfect place by the sea.

The Retreat was an amazing place to stay with an ideal location. We would 100 recommend and would love to return in the future. The Retreat is spacious, comfortable with lots of added homely touches. There was plenty of room for all 8 of us. The back garden is lovely and was a pleasure to sit in. We all had a fab week.

Joanne

We had a brilliant time at The Retreat we used every bit of the house front and back seating areas. . along with the weather its in a perfect location for all the facilities and the beach. Brilliant for kids and fur friends and families. The only recommendation is the upstairs needs a toilet other than that its a place we will be visiting many times in the future.

The garden was lovely liked the access to beach The owners were very helpful and polite The seals on rear window require some maintenance but you can the working progress on property but highly recommend this property Pitty about the weather

Lovely place. So close to everything.felt really private even though you are in the middle of everything .would def recommend.only problem we found was both toilets downstairs and the stairs are steep from upstairs .

Antoinette

We found the property warm and comfortable. They had plenty of seating for everyone in all areas. The gardens were really lovely and the back garden was safe & secure for young children. It was however dated and had a few cracked floor tiles, but that did not spoil the holiday.

Andrew

Dirty and very disappointing. Cracked tiles in kitchen & bathroom. Cobwebs on lights. Dirty utensils. No bathroom upstairs and no central heating upstairs. Bedroom door removed & propped against wall. Glue patches on settee. No heating or electric or hot water on arrival. Dirty shower. Bathroom shower useless as no water pressure. incorrect phone number supplied for owner. Threadbare mat in hallway and stained carpet. Bathroom window unable to open. Poor fitting front door & draught.

Kirsten

The photos of the property on Sykes Cottages site make it appear larger than it is. There was a sharp broken tile in the kitchen, a door off its hinges up stairs which was just left leaning against the wall, loose bath panel, poorly repaired sofas which looked horrible, the wheelie bins were full upon our arrival meaning we had nowhere to dispose of rubbish, the chairs at the dining table were in a poor state, there were not 2 washing machines 1 was a tumble dryer which is actually better, the property was full of left food from previous tenants in the cupboards and fridge, the washing machine had lots of hair in it, I got trapped in the side porch as there is no handle on the inside, the fan in the twin room was thick with dust, female sanitary items were left in the bathroom cabinet, the bottom of the fireplace was hanging off, dog food left in a cupboard, medication left in the kitchen drawer along with syringes without needles. There was a torn sheet on one of the single beds. I had to wash some of the plates before I could use them as they were dirty, the frying pan was sticky with grease and still had remnants of oil in it. One of the security lights outside lit up the downstairs double bedroom making it difficult to sleep, there was the same problem upstairs in the balcony room as there was no curtain at the window. The hand rail on the steps outside was too big to grip and the rail the other side of the gate couldn't be used as it was all splintered. It was surprising that dogs were not allowed on the furniture as it was all already damaged. All in all, the property was not at the standard the photographs showed, in fact some of it was incredibly dangerous, I feel that I have paid far too much for the stay there and would welcome a partial refund. The property was very clean and comfortable but I will not go again.

Alison

Lovely property, overlooking the beach and sea. Peaceful and quiet, but equally near enough the amenities etc in Mablethorpe. Great communication from the owners. Equipped well, kitchen items, cleaning materials etc. Just a couple of things I would say need adding....... There wasn't a hairdryer. And there wasn't an instruction manual for appliances etc, or local information, such bin days, local doctors, pharmacy etc. We had a lovely week, a family 3 adults and 4 older children teens
