The Laurels - Buff Lake

Mill Road Lakes sits quietly on the edge of the Lincolnshire coast, where fishing lakes stretch in front of the properties and sandy beaches lie just over a mile away. The Laurels is one of the lodges here, a ground-floor place that opens onto its own decked area with furniture and a private hot tub for four. Pets stay free, and the whole property is yours alone.

Inside, the open-plan living space has a smart TV and sofa bed, while the kitchen is equipped for proper cooking—electric oven, gas hob, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer all there. One bedroom has a double bed with an ensuite shower; the other has two singles. The second bathroom has a bath with shower over. Bed linen, towels, wifi and heating are included. A travel cot and highchair are available if you need them.

Ingoldmells beach is a straightforward walk away, with quiet stretches of coast and seafront cafés. Skegness town centre is three and a half miles off, offering the usual seaside attractions; Fantasy Island and Butlins are similarly close. Those who fish will find the lakes well-stocked. The site itself is known for being clean and well-maintained, with a relaxed feel. No smoking in the property.
