The Craigside - A family-run guesthouse with a fish-tank lounge and games room in Skegness
Rooms and Amenities
The Craigside offers deluxe double, twin, luxury king, and single rooms, each with an en-suite shower room, TV, and tea and coffee making facilities. Free on-street parking is available on Scarbrough Avenue, and the property is pet-free and smoke-free for guest comfort. Guests receive fresh towels and toiletries upon request, with hosts asking daily if any extras are needed in the room.
Dining
A full English breakfast is served each morning in the traditionally furnished dining room, with cooked-to-order options and a vegetarian alternative. Continental choices include cereals, fresh fruit, yoghurt, and pots of porridge, alongside tea, coffee, and fresh juices. Hosts remember individual preferences from previous days and accommodate special dietary needs without fuss.
Entertainment
The communal lounge features three large fish tanks that create an adventurous ambiance, plus a pool table and a darts board available during daytime hours. A shared lounge and TV area provides additional space for relaxation or socialising with other guests. Board games and puzzles are also on hand for quieter moments indoors.
Location
The Craigside is less than a 10-minute walk from Skegness Beach, Skegness Pier, and Skegness Aquarium, with the Embassy Theatre and Pleasure beach equally close. Skegness Rail Station is a 5-minute walk away, and restaurants and bars are within 100 metres of the guesthouse. The quiet location on a back street keeps guests away from traffic noise while still being central to all amenities.
Service and Family-Friendly Features
Hosts Adam and Kat provide direct interaction, offering tailored recommendations for local restaurants and attractions during the stay. Family rooms are available, and the games room with billiards and darts appeals to guests of all ages. Luggage storage is offered, and the hosts will carry cases to upper-floor rooms upon arrival.

“I found the proprietors at The Craigside to be genuinely warm and attentive, managing dietary needs with remarkable care and ensuring a comfortable stay. The proximity to the seafront is undeniable, yet the accommodation itself feels like a welcoming, clean retreat, offering good value for its convenience.”
