Guests say
Carlton House is a spacious and well-equipped property in Skegness, praised for its beautiful decor, comfortable furnishings, and proximity to the beach and local amenities. The large dining area and hot tub are particular highlights, contributing to enjoyable family holidays and gatherings.
Cleanliness has received mixed feedback. While some guests found the property spotless, others reported issues with cleanliness upon arrival, including unclean kitchen appliances and bathrooms. The inconsistency suggests room for improvement in ensuring a consistently high standard of cleanliness.
The location is highly regarded, with guests appreciating the short walk to the beach, waterpark, town, and shops. The convenience of the property's location for family outings and access to local attractions is a strong positive aspect.
Guests have found the property very comfortable, with ample space for large groups and well-equipped for family meals and socialising. The warm and inviting atmosphere of the house contributes to a pleasant stay, although some minor issues with heating were mentioned.
Facilities are generally well-received, with the hot tub and spacious dining area being highlights. However, there have been reports of maintenance issues such as non-working appliances and games equipment, which detract from the overall experience.
There is insufficient information regarding any thoughtful gestures or gifts provided by the hosts, as no reviews mention such details. Therefore, it cannot be determined if guests typically receive these during their stay.

Everything was thought of and the bathrooms and bedrooms were set up perfectly for a large family group. The location was also great, close enough to the centre and the beach without being too noisy. Would definitely stay here again!

4 of us tried the key. Phoned both numbers given. 1st one left an answerphone message. 2nd one told us to send an email. No reply from 1st .. finally opened the door which actually needed a jolly good clean. Table in dining room is amazing except it makes lots noise. Quite amusing. Radiators upstairs need bleeding. Coat hooks keep falling off. Having said all that the house is absolutely great. Like a TARDIS so many rooms. Good quality all over. Furniture beds showers all great. Kitchen well equipped. Would recommend. Just be nice if the owners were contactable.
