Great value for money B&B
I had a really good stay at the Southwold. The owners were helpful and friendly and the B&B was clean and tidy. The breakfasts in the morning were also large and tasty. I had the single room right up on the top floor, which was up a normal flight of stairs, then a second steeper set which I didn't mind but others may have trouble with. I also had a separate large bathroom, which was on the other side of the landing. However this was no trouble for me. There was a bit of a walk to the pier and the town centre, but its not too far. If you need anything there is a shop around the corner. The price for the stay was excellent, as I payed much less than what I had before to stay in Skegness. Overall I had a great stay, even if the weather was not so good!

Really lovely place to stay and the owners Roger and Alison were so friendly and welcoming. Only negative was that the rooms got chilly after the heating went off in the evening and before it came on in the morning. I'm used to wrapping up under a fleece blanket at home but outside of the bed it was cold particularly in the bathroom area.

When you find a little gem you sometimes want to keep it to yourself, but this little hotel deserves to be full all the time.Well situated, parking right outside and a stroll to the beach.Very welcoming reception, very comfy room,big bed and fabulous breakfast.
