I stayed at county hotel for 2 nights with my grandson . Ok its dated but clean . Big thankyou to the ladys serving breakfast .They are very friendly !. Also reception staff are very good . No problems at all and will return if in Skegg !

I had been recommended by a colleague who had visited some years ago before the Covid pandemic. At first sight you are taken aback at the somewhat crumbling 1930s era Moderne style of this standalone hotel building. However, once inside you receive a very hospitable welcome. You will discover that the hotel was newly built & opened in 1936 by one of the Bateman brewing family from nearby Wainfleet. An architect’s plan dated 1934 is exhibited in one of the rooms off the reception area together with photographs from that period. There is a user operated lift available dating from 1936 that works perfectly. The bedrooms are dated but equipped with nice firm beds, clean sheets & an abundance of spotless towels. On reflection the breakfast was easily one of the best I’ve ever encountered. Service was excellent, the menu choices were wide (including kippers) & the resulting cuisine was delicious. One final tip concerns parking. You approach the parking area from a narrow service road behind the hotel. Make sure that you have parked immediately behind the hotel building. Parking beyond the building takes you into the adjacent NCP car park. It is not easy to visualise this distinction between the two parking areas. Ask at Reception to ensure that you have parked in the area reserved for for hotel guests which is free Like many of the long established hotels in Skegness, the County has suffered from the recent opening of the large Premier Inn on the sea front. I’m an annual visitor to Skegness for an event at the Embassy leisure complex & I intend to return to the County next year.

Although this hotel is old fashioned (which I love and has some lovely features) I found the rooms very clean and accommodating. All the staff were very pleasant , helpful and polite . The bed was very comfortable. Some of our party who stayed had just finished their 100 mile charity bike ride from Leicester to Skegness and said their stay had been enjoyable and breakfast was lovely . Thank you and I would defintley recommend to stay here
