"My stay at moggs retreat was worth a visit for a relaxing weekend away from city life."
The property is close to the beach and a one hour walk away from the local shops at chaple st leonards. I'm a keen walker but I was disappointed that there was not the facility of a shower following a days walk. There is a bath but considering the amount of people who have stayed at the property then I didn't find this a very hygienic option. The sofa was comfortable but there were stains on the cushions and arms of the furniture which would benefit from a deep clean. Overall it was a pleasant stay for a long weekend and the Weather was nice to.

"Need to add a shower in the bathroom."
-
"Our second stay this year at Moggs Retreat."
Such a pleasant, comfortable, nicely furnished place in quiet location and ideal for Anderby Creek beach and the friendly local bar/restaurant.
-
"Really enjoyed our first stay here, have booked again for next year as property owner has said a shower is being fitted in November which will make things better for us but this was not a big issue really ."
The property and location was perfect hence we've booked again for next Sept.

"My husband and I had the best holiday."
My daughter came with her 4 year old for Saturday and Sunday and he actually jumped with joy when he came into the bungalow. We love this retreat somewhere not too far from the beach which is never overcrowded . Plenty of places to eat and even a lovely lake to walk around in the evenings. Place was spotless and facilities excellent. Have booked again for 2025 thank you for a great holiday x

"Need a new cover pic, looks nothing like it now!"
We all enjoyed our stay and found everything adequate for our needs. Holidaymakers who complained of the lack of a shower hadn't checked out the internal photos which clearly show just a bath. We didnt find this too much of problem for a week. Overall we had a very enjoyable time.

Lovely place peaceful short cut to the beach great used it everyday it had everything you needed and more only down side could do with a proper shower all in all a lovely stay
-
"Lovely little place to stay, clean, bright and airy, nicely decorated and pleasant furnishings."
Ideal for a couple or with small children. Great walks for dogs and very handy at just a stones throw from the beach. Everything you would want - my only comment is I prefer a shower to a bath but that’s just my preference. would definitely stay again.
-
"My main concern is the lock on the door, many problems opening and closing, has ..."
My main concern is the lock on the door, many problems opening and closing, has mentioned a few times in guest book since last year, as this is the only exit, very dangerous in case of fire, secondly chips in crockery, not very hygienic, and thirdly would benefit from a privacy lock on bathroom door
-
"The door was difficult to open and shut I noticed it had been reported last October."
Could do with a shower and a fridge with an ice box.
-
"Cute little chalet down a quiet lane."
Sea within 2 mins walk. Lovely and clean just a tad tired looking. Had everything you needed for a week. Plenty of heaters as it was freezing while we stayed. Now shower, my husband took our camping shower. Could do with handle to get out of bath(knee replacement) towels etc provided. Cafe/shop/bar close by and Creeks Tavern was lovely and friendly. 6 mile round trip along beach to Chapel St Lenard and lovely friendly beach bar called Admiral Benbow. Also a lovely observatory that did coffee etc. would be fab if had a washing machine and shower but I would definitely go again.
-
"Great difficulty with the front door both opening and closing and locking it."
Felt like something might break. Otherwise excellent
-
"Another great stay."
We've booked again for next year, love this place!
-
"We drove up the quiet road and opened the door and were delighted with the cleanliness and layout."
This felt like a home and we settled in quickly. The path to the beach is literally round the corner. Everything was provided though a small freezer would be an excellent idea. The garden was wonderful for sitting in after a day at the beach. We had a wonderful week and have booked for next year.
-
"Moths Retreat was a great holiday home for a fun beach holiday."
We loved its location and ease to get to the beach. The home was very comfortable, clean and lovely & quiet. The single bed was a bit bumpy but it didn’t matter as our grandson just moved into the other VERY comfy double bed. We’d certainly like to go again
-
"No shower , access to garden from front door only , beach and shops and pub long walk ,in ending you have to be very fit to enjoy this type of holiday not for us sorry ."
-
"We had a great time once again, at Moggs Retreat."
The addition of the picnic bench and folding chairs in the garden improved the holiday. We sat on the roof terrace at the Boatshed cafe at Huttoft and looked out to the lifeboat shed and the sea . We had a great day out at Mablethorpe Seal Sanctuary and Wildlife Park and we had lovely food in their cafe. We do not mind the absence of a shower at the property as we prefer a bath after a day's walking along the coast.
-
"Very happy holiday."
We visited with 2 adults, 1 baby (5 months) and a dog. Had everything we needed, I've been here twice and I can see in the past year the improvements have been made, there is now outdoor seating, a patio area, a new table and chairs set in the kitchen. Perfect location, safe for babies and dogs. We will visit again!
-
"Lovely little holday home."
Really clean and well equipt. Plenty of towels and cleaning products, loo roll bin bags etc which isn't always the case with these type of lets. The location was great. Beach was only a 2 minute walk away. The beach cafe serves delicious food with little shop selling buckets and spades and seaside bits and bobs. Only a short drive to sutton-on-sea, Mablethorpe and skegness. Plenty to do around there. The beds were very comfortable and the decor made it feel fresh and homely. My 4 year old loved seeing the bunnies in the field out the bedroom window. Friendly locals. We had a great time and would love to go back.

"Had lovely few days at moggs retreat ."
Cottage was nice and clean. 5 min walk to the beach, which the dogs could go on. Bed was a little firm could have done with a mattress topper, but wouldn't stop us returning for another visit
-
"Pros Lovely cosy cottage ideal for our needs."
Beautiful beach walks only two mins away. Although it was really cold at the time of our visit it didn’t take long for the cottage to warm up. Cons hot water pressure in the kitchen was poor Hooks st the door for coats would be very useful No wooden spoon These cons are no real reflection of the cottage. It was really peaceful and quiet and I’d recommend it to anyone seeking just that.
-
"We were very happy with the accommodation in general it was just what we wanted."
The cooking facilities were just right. The limitations of the property were well described so we had no issues with the bathroom or garden access. We coped well taking our dog. I would just say that one of the mattresses was not as comfortable as the other two as the springs were felt, given we used all three bedrooms for one night this could have been more problematic. The cleaners I think missed the fact that a dog had been present on a previous visit and the sofa had many dog hairs on. We cleaned the sofa ourselves, problem solved. It did not spoil our stay just something to be aware of. Thanks very much we may well return.
-
"This is the perfect place to stay if you have dogs."
The beaches are excellent and right on the doorstep. The location is so quiet and you are not disturbed by noise. Dog bins are close at hand and we took our rubbish to the bins on the sea front every day.The only thing i would say is that due to the lack of plugs in the bedrooms it would be nice to have a light over the bed.
-
"We found the cottage claustrophobic the beds were uncomfortable and the bedding too furry and hot The cottage was for up to 5 people but in our opinion was only big enough for us( 2 adults 1small dog) Beds were pushed to wall so were difficult to get in without climbing over my husband to get out at nighttime I slept on the saggy settee for 2 nights The springs on The 2 seater settee and 1 chair made it difficult to get up as it sloped backwards The small back garden was untidy with rubbish down one side The facilities were clean and fine except for I found a very dirty oven tray in the cupboard under sink “Witch we had not used!"
!! This cottage needs an update and in our opinion is not up to tha standard we have seen from many Sykes holiday cottages we have stayed in Anderby Creek is a nice place and we would go ther again but not to this cottage,We did enjoy the area Sorry for bad review but it was the worst cottage we have stayed in Caz
-
"Not very disability friendly, (could not get in the bath,it could do with a shower instead of a bath) bedrooms very tight on space,we had to ring to get the bin emptied when we arrived, and after 2 weeks bin was over flowing again but no one came to empty in the second week."
it does warn in the details that it is small but should not be classed as suitable for 5 people
-
"A lovely Chalet Bungalow at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac with a narrow path to the back lane and beach."
Everyone is very friendly including those people that live there. Our neighbour even gave us a jar of her homemade jam! Dogs are most welcome - Everyone seems to have one! The Bungalow is well equipped, well maintained, with lawns front and rear. A welcome addition would be patio furniture? We will definitely stay here again!
-
"It was a fab stay at a gorgeous location …Moggs Retreat was perfect."
The description and reviews clearly stated what was there. Thank you for a great holiday
-
"We had a lovely stay."
The rooms were comfortable and the living room was cosy. Perfect location for Anderby creek beach which is one of our favourites. I’d just say similar to others about the access to the garden and the shower attachment wasn’t great. Those amendments would really make the stay perfect. But we otherwise had a lovely stay thank you. Kate, Dan, Joey and Tommy
-
"Lovely little place in a lovely location."
Only issue only issues we had were with the bath and the neighbours!! Very difficult to get the temperature right when using the shower attachment, hot water doesn’t last for long when running a bath. We got used to it by the end. One neighbour clearly doesn’t like that people use it as a holiday home, very rude on more than one occasion, even left notes on our door about leaving our dogs alone even though I was at the property all day with a migraine and it was my wife and children who had gone out. Clearly a unhappy woman, I would find it very difficult to be so miserable if I lived in such a lovely location.
-
"Love the setting, it is so so peaceful."
Moggs Retreat totally suits our needs. Our dogs would thank you too! We shall hopefully return.
-
"A modification to bathroom to accommodate a proper electric shower would improve the property There was not enough chairs to accommodate 5 persons either at table or to sit to watch tv etc."
Very clean property
-
"The accommodation was really good."
The one thing letting it down for me was the lack of a shower. If this was stated in the description I must have missed it. Apart from that we loved it.
-
"Short on dishes in the kitchen for cooking eg Casserole and large frying pans."
Not having a shower was difficult, but we managed ok. Thank you.
-
"We have visited previously, we can already see the improvements these owners are doing by reading the feedback."
It is a great place to stay, the bench is a welcome improvement in the garden so you don't need to pack outdoor furniture. We wouldn't hesitate to look for next year as it's perfect for dogs!
-
"Very expensive at over £500 for two nights in a 40 year old chalet!"
It needs an electric shower too! Otherwise it was well kept and equipped , tidy and clean and in a beautiful quiet location near to stunning beaches. Just costly for a family.
-
"Let down by cleaners, and lots of bits of damage."
Whole quavers on the carpet in the livingroom. The sofa and chair had small crumbs/bits on them. Dried food on the microwave. The metal shelves in the oven had stuck on food on them. The kettle was really chalky. One of the wooden chairs is split, I just spotted it before sitting down. (Later I saw a review stating this from last August). A large chunk gauged out of the livingroom door. There was a plastic loop (from a piece of clothing), on the floor next to the bed. In the small wardrobe was a dirty duvet taking up half of the wardrobe space. (There is just one wardrobe, one chest of 3 drawers and one bedside table in the whole 3 bedroom property). There was also a gauge on the wardrobe door. The large plastic section on the fridge door (for holding milk and bottles), had a piece broken off. So it could not be used, as the holder would not stay in place. The hoover has not been used or emptied from the last visitors. Rubbish wheelie bin was overflowing. Emailed cleaners who did not respond. Owner had rubbish collected day before we came home. Before it was lovely and clean, lots of damage has occurred in just a year. New garden bench was lovely.
-
"We had a lovley stay in a lovley location very friendly locals."
Just a couple of things I'd suggest would be to install a shower,fit a new toilet seat and an outsie patio set would be ideal.But all in all a lovley little place.
-
"Location excellent, really enjoyed the week."
Only complaint is lack of garden furniture.
-
"Exceptionally well presented chalet, spotlessly clean and cosy."
BUT no way would this be suitable for 5 adults. The property needs mirrors, there is only one small mirror in the bathroom and an even smaller one in one of the bedrooms. Maybe add full length mirror to back of doors. Only one tiny wardrobe in whole property which will not hang full length garments, so where do occupants of rooms 2 and 3 hang their stuff and store suitcases etc? No access to garden except going out the front door and through gate. No baking trays in kitchen had to go out and buy one. I would also not recommend this property to anyone who has mobility issues, bath has no handles making it difficult to get out of, beds are really low making them difficult to get out of also. I left a day early desperate for bath or shower, wash not the same somehow. Despite all that I enjoyed my stay, really peaceful and well situated for the beach and walking. Food at PoppasBar really good. Friendly mostly unspoiled place.
-
"We arrived to a clean, well presented bungalow."
Everything in the pictures was quite clear so we knew what to expect with the bungalow layout, outside fencing and location. This is a perfect place for a break, they have really put effort into decorating each room to give it the 'seaside effect', as well as comfort. I stayed here with my mother and 2 labradors. There was enough room for us all, and we were glad that we found somewhere that accepts 2 dogs as most don't. There is space in the front room area as Kitchen and lounge is in open layout. Yes there is fencing so you need to walk out the door to the back garden but it was fine for us as dogs are well behaved, the garden is lovely fair bit of grass for sitting. Location: It's a 5 minute walk from the beach. Lovely beach cafe down the road. The street is a quiet bungalow area, everyone friendly, says hello. I would definitely recommend and we have actually booked again for this year.

What lovely place clean and tidy acomadation the beaches are really nice and very clean with lots of walking paths and cycling shops are local to very relaxing place
-
"It was much too small, and no direct access to garden."
No shower just a bath in a cramped bathroom. Not suitable for those with mobility issues. The appliances did not indicate they were PAT tested which I thought was a requirement for holiday rentals. The garden although nice had no garden furniture if you wanted to enjoy it. With there being only one way in at the front, no access to to let our dogs directly into the garden and we had to put them on their leads every time just to let them into it. Little or no storage for clothes and suitcases. Although it was listed as up to five people, there was only a table with four chairs. It was a quiet and pleasant location, and the bungalow was nicely decorated and living area comfortable. In my and my husbands opinion, the single room if funds allowed should be scrapped and an additional door and lobby could be put there, that way direct access to the garden would be available. We think sadly this only suitable for maybe a couple or at most three people for a long weekend.

"We had such a wet rainy week which I know happens a lot in the uk however there were no drying facilities, not even an airer, to dry our wet clothes and wet towels."
So most of the week we had to wear soggy coats, shoes, clothes and dry ourselves on soggy towels! When we arrived we found items of clothing and toys on back of doors and under beds that were obviously left from previous guests. There were also a few things damaged when we also got there, a hole in the room door, a table chair was broken and the 1970’s shower holder had ripped off the wall and was in the tub when we arrived. Instructions on how to use the emersion weren’t left, I was just happy I had a clue on how to use it from when I was a child. Other than the above Moggs retreat was nice and comfortable, I just think it needs some modernising.
Many thanks for your review, we are sorry that you had such a rainy week and we have taken your point about drying facilities onboard. As you are aware, its quite a small property so we can’t install a tumble dryer but we will provide a clothes airer for future guests. However, with regards to the damage to the towel rail, we were in the property just before you arrived and can assure you that it was OK when we left. We also didn’t notice any clothes that had been left by the previous guests and neither did the cleaners who attended after we left. Going forward they will check to ensure that there are no personal items hidden away as part of their process. Property Owner

"Really lovely and quiet place to have a break and great to be 5 minutes away from the beach."
The holiday let was really good comfortable
-
"The chalet was nice in side and well equipped."
The only down point was that all the plates and bowls were chipped. So we brought disposable plates to eat off as werent happy eating off chipped plates.
-
"Could do with a proper shower, and bedrooms are very small but comfortable and well decorated."
Probably more suited for upto 3 guests than 5 though. Lovely beach nearby.
-
"The cottage was in good condition but could have been improved by the following: 1."
The front door was difficult to lock 2. One bedroom door would not close 3, Because of the wide difference in hot and cold water pressures it was impossible to use the shower attachment provided. Provision of a permanent shower would have greatly increased our comfort- especially for my wife who is disabled.
-
"Fantastic little home from home."
Everything you need. Comfortable for 2/3 people only though even though it sleeps 5 But it’s clean and well presented and fantastic location. The nearby beach is beautiful. We took out two sprinters snd they loved the beach. Would defiantly recommend
-
"A very basic and very small property."
Bedrooms are tiny. Only a small sofa and one chair in lounge/kitchen, only suitable for 3 people to sit. No central heating, just very small plug in radiators. The garden is NOT dog friendly from a security perspective, it is enclosed at the sides by neighbours fences but not secure along the bottom, there is no fence and there is a large open gap which allows direct access to field. You can only access the garden via coming out of the front door and then through side gate.
