  Fabulous owners who allowed us to check in early as the property was ready on arrival, the communication was superb from pre-arrival, during our stay and leaving.

  We were greeted with a bottle of fizz and a lovely welcome and happy new year card. We all absolutely loved the property it had ample space for the group of 16 (10 month old to 50 year old) and it had something for everyone, the games room and hot tub are a brilliant asset for the older teenagers of the group and warmed up the old bones after days out. The living space enables all of the party to be able to enjoy time together and time to relax. We didn’t take any dogs but the garden was enclosed and would still have had plenty of room. No pet smell and no sign of pets being at the property so cleaning standards were great. The only issue we encountered was a blocked drain which was sorted immediately after a quick message to the owner. The jolliest plumber I have ever met arrived onsite and repaired and cleaned quickly he was such lovely guy and nothing was too much trouble… amazing service. The location of the property is perfect to explore Skegness on foot (no driving for the week - onsite parking) lots of good places to eat, drink and visit over the festive season which was unexpected, therefore we spent money and time supporting local businesses which isn’t usually an option out of season. Great owners and a lovely property, we loved Skegness and are looking to return in the summer.

  Unfortunately, it fell short of expectations.

  The heating in approximately five of the bedrooms was not working, leaving those rooms uncomfortably cold throughout our stay. This made it particularly difficult to relax and enjoy the house in colder weather. Additionally, I was surprised to find that soap wasn’t provided in the toilets. For the price and setup of the property, I would have expected basic toiletries to be supplied. The cleanliness also left something to be desired—while the main areas were acceptable, several spots felt overlooked and below the standard you’d expect from a rental property. Another issue was the lack of clear instructions for the fire alarm system and the access code. This caused unnecessary confusion during the stay and could be problematic in an emergency. It would be helpful if the owners ensured these details are clearly provided for future guests. Overall, while the house has potential, these issues made the stay less comfortable and convenient than we’d hoped. With better preparation and attention to these points, it could be a much better experience for others.

  We (14 adults, one toddler, one dog) had an amazing stay at Chalfont Lodge.

  Spacious and well equipped, it suited us very well.The downstairs bedroom was great for my 86 year old parents. We made good use of the hot tub and pool table and even had a kitchen disco in the fun room! We did a lot of cooking and apart from struggling with the oven (should have read the manual) there was almost everything we required. Remember to take kitchen roll and tea towels. Justine was very quick to reply to emails and when I called the emergency number as we accidentally set off the fire alarm, the lady answered straight away and was very helpful. Five star service. The only areas which could be improved on are: the outside space needs a good sweep up and the cigarette bin emptied, some of the bedroom doors don't close very well, some beds didn't have mattress covers and the pillows were a bit of a poor standard. Chalfont Lodge is by far the best property we have rented as a family and we have been up to Scarborough and down to Sheringham and a couple of places in between! Well done to the owners for getting it up to this standard.

  Fourteen of us stayed for a weekend in this property and we had a fabulous time.

  It was clean, comfortable and offered everything possible, to make a stay perfect. We ate in and had enough kitchen utensils, not to have to pack anything extra and enough room to cook large meals. It’s so nice to be able to eat together at one long table and the owners have thought of all the little extras, down to the last detail. There was even a cupboard full of family board games provided. There are hairdryers in every room (and heat mats for straighteners etc) and the plugs have been thoughtfully positioned. We had seven cars, including a large Land Rover Discovery and we all got parked outside. The house is a short walk to the beach and we were shocked at how nice the seafront was. The owners reached out to us to check that everything was ok and they were lovely. Would we stay here again? Yes, without a doubt.

  Had a fantastic family break celebrating some birthdays.

  The house was exactly as described and very clean and tidy. There were 15 of us and the well equipped kitchen made it easy to cater for everyone at once - oven space especially appreciated! All of us being able to get round the large dining table made for easy meal times. Hot tub was fantastic and much larger than expected. Bedrooms were all good sized and comfortable. Plenty of downstairs space and comfortable seating. The kids loved having the fun zone to play in and have some time away from the adults. The location was perfect too - such a short walk to the main town and to the beach made it perfect for a mixed family group to each please themselves. Communication from the home owner was great too - never had the visitors information book provided in advance before but it was very useful and much appreciated.
