The Laurels - Reel Paradise

The Laurels – Reel Paradise works well for families wanting a self-contained break, couples after a peaceful retreat, or small groups needing space to spread out. The whole property is yours, with everything on ground floor: two bedrooms (one double, one with singles), two bathrooms, and a combined kitchen-dining-living area that opens onto a decked garden. One dog is welcome at no extra cost. Essentials including wi-fi, electricity, bed linen and towels are provided, and there's a hot tub for four on the private decking.

The kitchen is fully fitted for cooking – electric oven, gas hob, dishwasher, washing machine and American-style fridge among the appliances – so you can prepare meals rather than rely on eating out. The master bedroom has an ensuite; the second bathroom serves the other bedroom and living spaces. Outside, the enclosed front garden offers seating and a view across the lake, which is stocked with coarse fish if you fish. Ingoldmells beach lies roughly a mile and a half away, good for walks and beachside cafés. Skegness, with its funfair and aquarium, is about three and a half miles off. No smoking indoors.
