Absolutely beautiful place to stay, owners were very welcoming upon arrival. Room was fresh, clean and well presented with all facilities you’d ever need.

A lovely B&B. The hosts Jane and Andy are very friendly and can not do enough for you. Our room was spacious, and very clean. There was an extra heater and blankets for if it gets too cold and a fan for if it gets too hot. There was also a fridge. Each room also has there own outdoor seating area. The breakfasts were lovely, with plenty of choice. We will definitely stay here again, if we are in the area.

The service is second to non. We hired a few rooms for our wedding party guests who were travelling from far and wide to stay closer with us, and they could not have made us feel any more welcome! From seeing in passing and asking to make sure we had everything we needed, through to an amazing breakfast to get the wedding party through until the evening meal, nothing was too much ask for and we couldn't have been made to feel more at home Although we live in Lincolnshire, will definitely be booking a stay again as the rooms and service are just amazing! Thank you again to you all for welcoming us and making us all feel so at home :)

Fantastic Stay at The Cross, Mablethorpe We had an absolutely brilliant stay at The Cross. From the moment we arrived, Andy and Jane made us feel incredibly welcome — they’re warm, thoughtful hosts who clearly take pride in what they do. The rooms are immaculate, spotlessly clean, and beautifully presented. A real bonus is the fridge in the room, which came in very handy. Breakfast each morning was nothing short of amazing. You can tell everything is done with care and attention to detail. Highly recommended.

A massive thank you for an amazing stay! The room was fab, so many little details have been considered, the decor was amazing, there was a mini fridge, fan, umbrella and lots of storage space. Spotlessly clean and smelt amazing! The bed was lovely and comfy and the bedding and towels smelt really fresh. The tea and coffee facilities were great too with a little biscuit treat and a cold bottle of water. I was travelling solo for work and felt secure and safe throughout my stay. It's around a 20 minute walk into the main bit of Mablethorpe or a nice easy 5 minutes drive. Thank you so much! I will be back to stay if I'm in the area again.
