  It has everything you need and was very comfortable and homely the bed is so comfortable and chairs in sitting room give excellent support. its in a lovely quiet estate with friendly people bus route very close and convenient. We can say absolutely nothing negative about property at all so as far as we are concerned carry on as normal the owners are doing a grand job.

• "The main positive of this property was the location of the bungalow as it was extremely quiet and peaceful."

  It was very spacious and the parking was good. The bed in main bedroom was great. We still managed to have a good holiday overall but feel very let down on many major points. We were very surprised at the many reviews saying the cottage was “spotlessly clean”. We had to clean a lot to feel comfortable staying for the week. Many areas were not nearly as clean as we would expect for what we paid. The kitchen tap where the water came from was black when I wiped it, with dirt/mould. This meant we had to use bottled water. The kettle was filled with chunks of limescale and was the worst I’ve ever seen. We bought vinegar to descale this. The conservatory off the single room had an ants nest at the side of the floor and there were so many dead flies lying around. We did not use this room for this reason. The garden was so overgrown you couldn’t walk the whole way round. When we used a cleaning wipe on a table in the livingroom it was brown after. The kitchen bin lid was dirty. The bathroom was soaked after every shower. There was mould in the grout of the tiles. The carpet in the livingroom was stained and sticky feeling. The sofas in the livingroom were stained. The whole cottage smelled faintly of old cigarette smoke especially in the bedrooms, and also could smell dogs. We were so dissapointed with all these things and felt really let down. We paid a good amount of money to stay and expected it to be cleaned to a reasonable standard and be able to use all facilities (conservatories, garden, kitchen tap etc). We would have complained during our stay but after having brought young children we wanted to make the most of it and not have to deal with owners coming round and disrupting our holiday. Very poor value for money and disappointing considering it could be such a lovely property if cleaned well and maintained better. Definitely would not stay again.

  The cottage was clean and had everything we needed. We didn’t cook because we went out to eat but everything was there if we wanted to. Bed was very comfy. We didn’t use the car as bus stop was just around the corner.

• "The property was really clean and well equipped."

  Only drawbacks, garden hadn't been checked I removed 3 lots of dog mess, the toilet brush was disgusting. Usually it has been bleached. Also we had to Google oven as controls round knobs had worn off. So perhaps a laminated picture would be handy. But I would stay again as it was a lovely bungalow.

• "We had a pleasant stay in Bumblebee cottage."

  Very quiet estate. Secure parking. Comfortable beds. We slept very well. Good seating. WiFi good. Quality smart TV. Cosy and warm. Good shower but not suitable for those with limited mobility. Very dog secure garden even for small dogs. Convenient location on edge of Skegness. A few minor issues that need addressing IMO. Only two knives. Frying pan useless. No oven glove or tea towel. There was no hand soap in either kitchen or bathroom. No salt or pepper and no welcome pack whatsoever. You will need everything from minute one including milk for a cup of tea. Cooker oven really needs better instructions or replacement as markings have rubbed off through use. No washing up bowl. But these are minor issues and I would stay again if visiting area again. I would recommend this holiday let.

  The bed is very large and comfortable and we slept very well. The cottage is in a very quiet part of Skegness but in easy reach of town, all that was missing was some milk in the fridge on arrival but overall we enjoyed the cottage and we would stay there again sometime.

• "What a lovely holiday home."

  The bungalow is clean and well furnished and kitted out as a home from home. The kitchen has everything you need and more! The dishwasher was easy to work and fast. There is also a washer and dryer. The heating worked well and it was really cosy. The garden was maintained and I should imagine is summer is a great place to relax. Skegness itself was a pleasant surprise. Lots of individual shops, very clean and lots of good places to eat. I definitely recommend Bumble Bee cottage and would like to return in the future.

• "Bumblebee cottage was lovely and cosy situated in a lovely surbubian area not far from town."

  The only thing that let it down for me was not been able to put heating on in the mornings which were cold & the oven was tricky to work but I would recommend to people but in the summer when it's hot as the heating issue is the only negative I can think of but a lovely little place and I did enjoy it there.

• "Bumblebee Cottage was very spacious and very well equipped."

  However the carpets throughout the property are stained cream colour maybe wrong colour for pet friendly let. No instructions for the use of the electric oven. We were unable to use it as the temperature and zone dials have no settings positions visible. Garden area was not usable as the furniture was full of dead insects, leaves as well as cushions stained and wet. Also overgrown bushes at the rear and side of the property. I am afraid we will not look to book this property again for a property that has a 4 tick rating for us it fell short of expectations. Not value for money because of the issues we encountered

• "Of all the properties we have rented through Sykes this was the best equipped."

  The property has obviously been well cared for and maintained. Kitchen equipment levels were much better than we had expected, which pleased us greatly. The sun lounge, with it's reclining armchairs, was much appreciated during a short period of inclement weather as it allowed us to watch a short lived thunderstorm in comfort. The chairs were marvellous for catching up on our reading, also. Everything we needed to enjoy our holiday was available at the cottage and we were very pleased with our rental. One small niggle: the main bedroom faces east so at 05.00 the sun shone brightly into the room, disturbing our sleep. We managed to come up with an easy fix but a pair of lined curtains would be a good idea, otherwise absolutely no complaints just highly recommended.

• "Lovely cosy cottage, with everything you need for your stay."

  Very clean and tidy on arrival, no welcome pack which was slightly disappointing and no contact with the owners (access is with key box) unless something goes wrong. Skegness is approx one and a half miles. With m&s and aldi about 1/2 mile. The bungalow is on a quiet estate, with views over fields which combined with the garden and sun rooms is very pleasent. All in all an excellent cottage and would fully recommend.

  We found bits of bread under the bedroon furniture, and an empty cake box under a chair in the living room. More detailed instructions on uding the cooker would be a great help - the provided booklet explains nothing on how to use other than turning onbthe hot plates. Other than that, we had a great holiday in a lovely quiet, peaceful location. Views out the back were wonderful and the cows came to visit, much to the amusement of our dog! We would definitely consider returning to Bumblebee Cottage in the future.

• "Very nice and comfortable bungalow."

  Loved the sun room at the back. Could relax and view the lovely surroundings and bird life. There were a couple of issues that need addressing. The shower head needs replacing as it’s impossible to avoid soaking the bathroom as the spray goes everywhere. Also the t.v. reception is poor. We couldn’t watch any of the available channels as the picture kept breaking up. Luckily Netflix was available which was a plus. We could see from the guest book that both these problems have been highlighted before. Bottom line is that we have been charged for services that simply weren’t there and should have been fixed. Having said that we had a great break.
