Philmar Guest House

We were pleasantly surprised by our room. It was a family room which is probably why it was so spacious, and more importantly clean. My only moan would be breakfast is served between 8am - 9am. I personally think 8-10am would be more appealing but you can’t please everyone all the time.

Absolutely amazing gem of a guesthouse.
Lovley very clean accommodation, bed was amazingly comfortable and the landlady is the most Lovley welcoming person you'd like to meet.
We had a few problems and had to alter the date of our stay and she was amazingly understanding and extreamly helpful.
We didn't have breakfast but I tell you what, it smelt bloody lovley when she was cooking it lol.
Philmar is about 15 mins walk from the main  area of skegness but it's a lovley quiet place to stay.
You won't go wrong staying here
I cannot recommend it highly enough and would definitely stay here again.

I cannot recommend Philmar guesthouse enough.Lovely clean and very welcoming placeThe landlady is lovely and very accommodating when we had some health issues that threatened us be able to go away.She was absolutely amazing and very understanding.The guesthouse is extreamly clean and homleyAnd the beds are amazballs comfy.Would definitely stay there again.

We found a little gem here! What a great experience. We enjoyed a spur of the moment 3 night Easter break at The Philmar Guesthouse. Joanne is such a lovely lady, she feels like a friend. Joanne gave us lots of helpful pointers on where to stop for coffee, lunch, best places to eat and best places to visit. The guesthouse is incredibly clean, the beds are extremely comfy, the en suite is also spotless. In the lovely sunny dining room we enjoyed our breakfast each morning which included a selection of juices, fresh fruit, cereals, yoghurts, followed by a delicious full english breakfast.
Joanne even gave her guests an Easter Egg on Easter Sunday morning. Little touches like this make you stand out from the rest Joanne. Keep doing what you're doing because you're smashing it!

Family visit with our first baby grandson and Joanne couldn’t have been more accommodating. Our rooms were exceptionally clean and beds very comfortable. A very enjoyable stay and will certainly be booking again. Thank you

Quick visit to see some family and found this B&B last minute.  We were both impressed and very pleased. Absolutely spotless room, very kind and welcome hosts and great location to get to the theatre and sea front.  The breakfast was really good, lots of choice!

We stayed at the Philmar Guest House for 3 nights while visiting family and we really enjoyed our stay. Joanne is such a lovely, friendly host who catered for us so well. Our room had everything that we needed for a short break- towels, hairdryer, tea and coffee making facilities. A very comfortable bed with a good choice of pillows, and a good hot en-suite shower led to a very enjoyable stay. I’m sure we will return to stay again soon, and we highly recommend staying at the Philmar. 

We stayed at The Philmar for a few days to attend a family occasion in Skegness.  We had a lovely stay.  The room was very comfortable, and the Philmar is an easy stroll to the beach and some nice restaurants to suit all budgets.  The whole place is spotlessly clean and the food was great.  Joanne is a wonderful host.  We were able to park right outside the guest house throughout our stay.  We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, thank you.  We’ll definitely be back!

I stayed for a couple of nights in August in this lovely, friendly hotel, whilst I was moving house and needed temporary accommodation. The lady who runs the hotel is very friendly, very helpful and keeps the place looking lovely. I had a double room which was clean and tidy and had everything I needed to hand; tea and coffee, fresh towels, toiletries. In the mornings I had a cooked breakfast which was delicious. I got to know the lady who owned the business quite well and she told me about local news and events that were happening over the summer, as well as advising me on local garages because I needed to get my car looked at. I could not have wished for a better host and I would not hesitate to go back again.

Cannot recommend this place enough

What a little gem! 100% recommend. Joanne feels like a friend!

Lovely short stay

Really lovely place to stay in Skegness

A lovely guest house with a super friendly host

On a bit of a whim my wonderful wife decided we were going to have a week in Skeggy, our second home (or so it feels).  Being a bit last minute we had a limited selection of places to book.  We stumbled on the Philmar, and seeing it's already glowing reviews called to see if they had rooms.  In speaking with Joanne on the phone, I got the feeling that what we wanted they didn't have, but she juggled the rooms and made it work, that's a plus right there!

On arrival we found on street parking right outside the hotel, but be warned it's a popular parking location so don't be surprised if you need to park further away on the street (lots of dropped kerbs and driveways).

We'd called ahead (about an hour before we arrived) as Joanne had asked, and we're delighted to find that on arrival the rooms were ready for occupation even though we were a bit earlier than checkout (10am).

We had room 2 overlooking the front of the property, there are no sea views here, but that's not a problem.  The street is quiet of an evening, and ideal to retreat too after a day and night of the lights and sounds of Skegness front!

The room was clean, tidy and I think had recently been updated in the bathroom with new walling and sealant (not a speck of black mould!).  There is tea and coffee in the room along with a kettle and a hairdryer.  Plenty of storage with a wardrobe, large chest of drawers and 2 hanging units by the beds.  Bedside tables and lamps finsh the room.  We also had a small table with 2 chairs, but not every room may have that.  There are only 2 wall sockets easily accessible so I'd advise bringing a 4 way (just remember to turn it off when you go out!).  The decor and colour whilst inoffensive may be considered a bit tired.

As a host, Joanne was impeccable.  Polite, willing, engaging and knowledgeable of the location I got the feeling there was nothing she wouldn't try to accommodate on request.  We didn't stop B&B, but can attest the breakfasts smelt amazing!!

We understand that Joanne has recently acquired the Philmar and intends to make it her own over the off season.  Given the current state (which is great!) I cannot wait to see what she does with it. 

Would I come back to the Philmar Guest House anytime soon?  You're damn right I would!!

Week in Skegness

Just returned home from a 3 night stay at the Philmar, our first time here but won’t be the last! Can’t say a bad word about the place, Tim was friendly, welcoming and helpful, recommended places to see and to eat, and enjoyed our chats about golf and Darts! Location is perfect, away from the hustle and bustle but only 10 minute walk to town, lots of street parking available. Room was lovely, bed was really comfy which is always a worry with my wife being poorly but both slept really well. Breakfast was amazing and plentiful. Really enjoyed our stay and look forward to our next.

Lovely stay

I stayed for a night at the Philmar Guest House, having been recommended it by another guest house owner who marketed themselves as being coeliac-friendly but had no rooms available. Having coeliac disease, eating at restaurants and hotels can be a bit of a lottery, but I was told that I should be alright at the Philmar. I gave them a ring and spoke to the owner about my dietary needs. It was immediately apparent that he knew what he was talking about. He said he'd get some suitable gluten-free breakfast foods for me and explained what he'd do to avoid cross-contamination. So I booked a room. The hotel is very handily-situated for all that Skegness has to offer. The double room was small but comfortable and well-equipped, and the ensuite bathroom was excellent: very newly fitted-out and spotlessly clean. The breakfast was excellent. I'd recommend this guest house to anyone who is looking for a coeliac-friendly place to stay in Skegness.

Recommended if you're looking for a coeliac-friendly place to stay in Skegness

We always arrive at the philmar to a great welcome from Tim and Wendy,you order your breakfast the night before,and it is to a very high standard,the room is very clean and comfortable,with tea coffee and biscuits,the bed is so comfy,if any thing is not right it will be put right very quickly,not far from the sea ,and lovely walks along the front and to shops,thank you Tim and Wendy see you soon Jane and Dave .
