The Kildare in Skegness, England

The Kildare offers family suites with separate double and single bedrooms, along with deluxe double rooms that include king-size beds and large bathrooms. Each room has a flat-screen smart TV with streaming services such as Netflix and Disney+, plus a Tassimo coffee machine. Free private parking is available on-site for four vehicles, and the property is equipped with CCTV, smoke alarms, and a safety deposit box for guest security.

The self-service breakfast buffet includes 15 different cereals, a full English with hot food kept warm on a hot plate, fresh pastries, crumpets, pancakes, fruit, yogurt, and gluten-free options. Guests can choose from a range of coffees, including Tassimo and espresso machines, as well as specialty teas and juices. The breakfast has been called the best by many returning guests, with the host Murray personally ensuring dietary needs are met, such as preparing a bowl of fruit for a child who loves strawberries.

The host Murray phones guests before arrival to arrange early check-in, carries luggage to rooms, and explains the breakfast process upon arrival. The property offers a kid-friendly buffet and can cater to vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free diets with advance notice. The Kildare's guest reviews repeatedly highlight the spotless cleanliness and the host's attentive, personalized service, with many visitors returning multiple times per year.

The Kildare is a 6-minute walk from Skegness Beach, less than 1 km from the pier, and 5 minutes from the clock tower and Hildreds Shopping Centre. Humberside Airport is 78 km away, and the railway station and bus interchange are a 9-12 minute walk using short cuts. The property is on a quiet road with free street parking available if the four on-site spaces are taken, and offers a garden with outdoor furniture for relaxation.

The Kildare is a recent winner of Channel 4's 'Three in a Bed' competition, a national television program that judges B&Bs on hospitality, food, and value.
