Owners very pleasant and lovely breakfast. Bed was very comfortable. The room could with another double electric socket( you have to unplug tv or kettle to plus bed side lamps in) and the sink hot and cold water were a bit of a trickle at times. Maybe an instruction sheet as to get the best results from using the shower may help future guests? Overall a pleasant few days

Sherwood Comfy & Convenient

We arrived at The Sherwood in Skegness late August 2025. We were able to park easily on the front area. It is situated straight across from Tower Gardens and so convenient for almost everything any person could need. We received clear instructions how to enter the secure front entrance door. Our ground floor room was a delight, so clean and roomy, ideal for anyone with mobility issues, and very quiet. Our wonderful hosts “Linda & Rob” greeted us for an appetising breakfast. They are so friendly, considerate and caring we felt so relaxed. We had a really enjoyable holiday there.
