We (three adults & a whippet) had a great Christmas week at Fisherman’s Cottage. On arrival, the Christmas decorations were up and there could not have been a more welcoming sight. Despite the rainy, windy weather conditions all week, the cottage was warm, clean, well-stocked and very comfortable. Although it’s quite a small cottage there was ample room for us all. There was constant hot water and we liked the fact there was the option to have a bath as well as a shower. Everything we needed for the week was provided kitchen-wise: plenty of plates, serving dishes, baking & roasting trays, etc - essential for the Christmas dinner! The provision of a microwave as well as oven & hob was useful too. Location-wise it was great to be able to be on the beach within minutes, but also walk into town easily. The boating lake behind meant that it feels like there’s a river just outside & that the cottage is not overlooked by other properties, it also allowed great views of the sun setting each evening. As the cottage is on a no through road, any passing traffic was rare, so it was extremely quiet. We would definitely recommend Fisherman’s Cottage to family and friends, who’d like a very comfortable & quiet seaside break on the Lincolnshire coast.

Location Comfy bed Cosy

Bathroom downstairs

Location was great for the beach

It was a particularly cold spell of weather and we spent a lot of the time feeling chilly. We were surprised that on arrival the heating was quite cool and we had to immediately go out and buy logs and kindling for the log burner to warm the place up. Some complimentary fuel for a December visit might have been a nice touch.

The location is great, it's perfect if you have a dog. The dog friendly beach is really close. I loved the idea of the log burner, but we had exceptionally warm weather in October, so we didn't use it.

Nothing to dislike.

Furniture comfortable. Enclosed patio space which was dog-safe. Near to beach and off road walk.

DVD player did not work and not replaced while we were there. Took 2 days for housekeeper to come to see to toilet flush that wasn't working properly. Car parking - small amount of free road space often taken up with other vehicles and nearest car park was £5 per day. No parking at/on property.

Accommodation ideal, communication was great, location perfect, close enough to amenities but far enough away from any noise

The cottage was clean cozy and in a quiet location with comfy beds which made for a good nights sleep. It is in a great location with everything within a short walking distance and great for dog walks along the beach with it being only 2 minutes away. It had a great outdoor space which was very secure which made having the dog with us very easy. It was well stocked with all the things needed for a stay. Would definitely stay again if we were ever visiting this location again.

The location was great beach and lake right on doorstep. Town short stroll away. Everything you could need. A home away from home. Great outside space too. Place was spotless and cosy.

Location was nice with good access to parking

General cleanliness disappointing, whilst beds etc clean the bathroom is very old and grubby and the shower pressure was poor. Tiny towels and toilet paper lacking , upon asking the owner about these items I got no answer on these specifics s we bought our own toilet paper and some bath towels. When I pointed out I had had to wash plates cups and cutlery before I could use they just said the housekeeper washes everything , no apology and items I tried to use where not clean. When we tried to use the oven and hob at the same time the oven was on, the hob appeared to be on at lit up numbers etc but the hob rings just did not heat up, once the oven was off and we switched it off and on at the wall the hob burst into life- electrical maybe? and made for very challenging cooking for an evening! Entire place needs a deep clean, ornaments and lampshades all very nice but dusty and grubby. Such a shame as I wanted to believe the hype from the lovely pics and description but sorry to say this was a costly disappointment for us.

The location was really handy. Close to the beach which is what we wanted for the dogs. The host was very helpful with answering any questions asked, such as places to take the dogs and places to park.

There is nothing not to like. Obviously not a 5 star hotel but it’s a dog friendly place so it’s exactly what you would expect

The lake view was a real winner for us

Having to set my alarm to go and pay parking in the car park. I wanted a chilled night away with a lay In This is literally the only fault but it can't be helped

Fantastic cozy, comfortable, cottage, excellent location and facilities, 2 minutes to the beach so lots of doggie walks. Lovely out door space which is secure for dogs and with nice views. Just a lovely place to have a break, and very easy to have the dogs with us. highly recommend

Really can't think of anything

Beautiful cottage. Very homely. Great location. Was really clean and tidy. Has everything there that you could need for your stay. Beds really comfortable. Beautiful lake views from the lovely large patio. Dog friendly too, our Cocker Spaniel loved it. Just a 2 minute stoll to the beach via the lakeside. Would definitely return and recommend, Happy days.

Would of been better if parking was available on property

Parking was a bit of a draw back

lovely little Fisherman’s cottage. A stones throw from the beach. Lovely log burner and comfortable sofas. upstairs King size bedroom nicely decorated. owner very responsive and helpful. parking free on street. Peak times there is a large car park less than a minute away. Kitchen adequately equipped. Property is fully fenced. Lovely sheltered rear courtyard with ample seating. Neighbours were also lovely.

It’s not what we didn’t like, just that the bathroom could do with a lick of paint. It’s a period property and therefore it understandably has some quirks- ie steep staircase and a couple of low ceilings in places, and the bathroom is downstairs with a narrow bath and shower over. I’m only mentioning this in case you happened to have limited mobility. Towels are kindly provided but you may want to bring your own in case you prefer a bath sheet.

Location was lovely. Cottage was very well stocked. We loved the fact milk was in the fridge and tea/coffee etc.

Not the owners fault but the big lamp post outside the house was very bright and on all night which kept me awake.

The location to the beach as was only a few minutes walk. The cottage was well stocked with things that people may forget to bring. It was clean and the bed was amazingly comfy. It was lovely to have a nice little garden which we could gain access to a lake area to walk the dogs.

Nothing

it was so close to the sea the location couldn’t have been any better, the cottage is beautiful! first time ever to mablethorp and it was amazing!

Best location in Mablethorpe, easy walking distance to everything. Ample parking nearby. Quaint & cosy cottage, great log burner, super large comfy bed in the main bedroom. Idyllic outdoor rear area (fully enclosed) overlooking the lake.

No heating or hot water on arrival (Sunday evening) ,not able to get wood for the burner as it was Sunday (our fault for not pre ordering).Also no heating or hot water on Wednesday or Thursday morning when we left. Stayed here 3 times now and love it but on this occasion did struggle with the cold as it was a very cold period ,lake out back was frozen. Did mention these issues in a note when we left but had no follow up which was disappointing.

Friendliness warm room and inn , good food, dog friendly good views, no pressure. Up to Scotland to receive a donation for Meningitis Research Foundation

All was fine.

The location was great - right by the beach, a lovely lake and only a short walk to the shops. Parking was a short walk away at a car park down the road - with ample spaces. The log burner was very welcome and made the lounge super cosy. The kitchen was well stocked with all manner of utensils etc. The beds were super comfy although we slept in the lounge - see below.

!Unfortunately, we had to clean the bath before use with c - but then couldn't use it as we had no hot water or heating throughout our stay which in February was a little chilly. We slept on sofas in the lounge to keep warm.

This is the second time ive stayed at Fishermans cottage and i must say how wonderful it is to come back to this beautiful cottage with its lovely views of the lake. Once again the cottage was spotlessly clean and it really doesnt take long before you feel right at home. The beach is just seconds away and perfect for a walk along the promenade especially if you have a dog or enjoy walking as i do. The log burner is a relaxing treat to come back to and the upstairs bed is a dream. I will definitely be telling all my friends about this cottage and im now considering a weeks stay in the summer.

Nothing.. having to leave

Ideal location, well presented perfect hub for the family

spotlessly clean very comfy wonderful log burner great location well stocked kitchen and welcome pack
