**Skegness Getaway: Unbelievable Northdale Hotel Deals!**
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the Skegness Getaway: Unbelievable Northdale Hotel Deals! And listen, I'm going to give it to you real. Forget that generic, perfectly-polished hotel review stuff. We're going raw, honest, and maybe a little bit messy. You ready? Let's go!
The Northdale Hotel: More Than Just a Seaside Stay… (Probably?)
First, let's be honest. Skegness? It's Skegness. You're not expecting the Ritz, okay? You're expecting…well, a good time, hopefully near the beach. So, let's see if the Northdale Hotel delivers on that Skeggy promise.
First impressions, first (and honestly, first are important!):
The website promised "Unbelievable Deals!". Okay, that's a big claim. (SEO Keyword Time: Skegness Hotel Deals, Northdale Hotel) Let’s see if the price is actually unbelievable or just "relatively less painful than a root canal." Initial searches suggest… well, potentially good value. A little bit of digging is needed here!
Accessibility: The "Can I Actually Get In?" Test
- Wheelchair accessible? Gotta know this! And YES! The Northdale proudly touts features for disabled guests (Facilities for disabled guests!!). Elevator in place, check. They've got a doorman (always a nice touch to have some help with the bags). This is already a great sign in more ways than one -- it shows the hotel cares about all of its guests.
- Access Considerations: I'll admit, I didn't personally wheel myself around this place (thank god, because I probably would have fallen in the pool!). But the website mentioned access to facilities, which always cheers me up knowing that people don't get left behind.
Cleanliness & Safety: Because, You Know, Health is Wealth
Okay, so here comes the serious bit. Let's talk germs. Let's talk COVID. Let's talk… well, keeping everyone alive and happy, right? The Northdale claims the following:
- Anti-viral cleaning products? Check. Good start.
- Daily Disinfection in Common Areas?: Excellent!
- Hand Sanitizer?: Praying that's in everywhere not just by the reception desk.
- Rooms Sanitized Between Stays? They say so. Okay, I'm cautiously optimistic.
- Staff Trained in Safety Protocol?: Fingers crossed they're actually following it. (I swear, I've seen staff in other places coughing on the food. Just the thought makes my skin crawl….)
This all sounds good, but let's be real. Seeing is believing. I'd like to know if it smells clean, ya know? Does it feel like they're taking this stuff seriously? Or is it just a box they're ticking? This is one area where real-world reviews and personal experiences are crucial. This is where the rubber hits the road. (SEO Keywords: Hotel Cleanliness Skegness, Safe Hotels Skegness, Covid-19 Safety Northdale)
Rooms: Where You (Hopefully) Sleep
Alright, the rooms. This is where the magic (or the utter disappointment) happens. According to the list, you get:
- Air conditioning: Praise the lord! Especially in summer.
- Free Wi-Fi: ALL ROOMS? Oh, that's great. (We'll see how strong it actually is later). (SEO Keyword: Free Wi-Fi Hotel Skegness)
- Additional toilet: Huzzah! (If you're sharing -- otherwise what's the point eh?)
- And all the usual suspects: (Desk, mini-bar, hairdryer etc).
- Soundproofing! YES! Good for light sleepers, and better for some noise with the neighbors.
The list looks promising. Of course, the devil is in the details. Like, is the bed comfy? Are the pillows flat like pancakes? Is there enough power outlets? This is where the real guest reviews are gold dust, people!
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Feed Me, Seymour!
Alright, the fun stuff (for me anyway). Food and drink:
- Restaurants: Sounds like plural restaurants. That's a good sign of variety! Is there a restaurant? Or just a place you can get something?
- Poolside bars: This could be a game-changer. A cocktail in the sun? Yes, please!
- Coffee shop: Essential. I cannot function without coffee.
- Breakfast (Buffet, A la Carte, Room Service): This is critical! Are they worth getting out of bed for? Or are you better off taking a takeaway bacon sandwich to the beach? The options look well-rounded I must say. (SEO Keywords: Hotel restaurant Skegness, Skegness Hotel Breakfast)
- Snack Bar: Necessary for those late-night cravings.
- Room Service (24-hour): Double yes. For when you're feeling lazy (again, me!)
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: Beyond the Bingo Hall
Okay, Skegness is Skegness. Let's be frank. But the Northdale seems to offer decent options:
- Swimming Pool (Outdoor): That's pretty much essential!
- Spa/Sauna/Steamroom: Wow! Relaxation is on the menu (probably extra cost). This sounds AMAZING. I'm a sucker for a good steamroom!
- Fitness Center: They have a gym! Fine if that's your thing. (I'll probably stick to walking the beach).
Here’s the thing: The location of the Northdale matters. Is it right by the beach? Handy for attractions? This could make or break the "fun factor."
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter
- 24-hour Front Desk: Always a good thing.
- Daily Housekeeping: Yep, please! I'm on holiday, not the cleaning staff!
- Luggage Storage: Essential!
- Car Park [free of charge] – Bonus! Not having to pay for parking is a massive win.
For the Kids: Keeping the Little Monsters Happy
- Babysitting service: If you really need a break.
- Kids meal - Essential if you're dragging the little tikes along to Skeggy!
- Family/child-friendly - Good for them!
My Quirky Observations & Honest Reactions
Okay, so far, the Northdale sounds… pretty decent. It's got all the basics covered, and a few nice extras. But here's where it gets interesting:
- The "Unbelievable Deals" promise is still hanging in the balance. Gotta check those prices! I've seen "deals" that turned out to be more like a gentle tickling of my wallet.
- I'm REALLY hoping the spa is good. A little pampering is always welcome.
- The food reviews are crucial. I need to know if I'm going to be eating lukewarm chips and watery gravy, or something actually edible.
- The atmosphere matters! Is it a fun, lively place? A chilled out haven? This is something reviews really can't tell you – it’s more of a feeling, and it’s all about the vibe.
The Verdict (So Far)
Based on what I see, the Northdale Hotel promises a good – potentially great – Skegness getaway. It's got the accessibility nailed down, a decent range of facilities, and a focus on comfort and safety (hopefully!).
But here’s the thing: I need to see more REAL reviews. What do actual guests say? What are the niggles and the triumphs? That’s where the real story lies.

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into the glorious, slightly chaotic reality of my recent Skegness escapade, a pilgrimage to the hallowed halls of The Northdale Hotel Ltd. Prepare for a journey that's less "meticulously planned itinerary" and more "winging it with a healthy dose of existential dread…and chips."
Day 1: Arrival, Anticipation, and the Great Chip Debacle of '24
- 1:00 PM - Train to Skegness: A Symphony of Sighs & Shaky Coffee: Okay, so, I thought I'd be organised. Ha! Wrong. I was basically sprinting through the train station, clutching a lukewarm coffee that threatened to end me with every lurch of the train. The train itself smelled faintly of sadness and old sandwiches, which, let's be honest, is a pretty accurate representation of my life choices at this point. The view? Fields. Lots and lots of fields. My internal monologue consisted of, "Are we there yet?" followed by, "Did I pack enough snacks to combat this impending boredom?" and "Why do I always leave things to the last minute?"
- 3:30 PM - Arrival & Check-In at The Northdale: Smelling of the Seaside…and Possibly Mothballs: The Northdale…well, it's a character. Let's just say it's seen a few summers. The reception area had a distinct scent of the sea, mingled with what I can only assume was the faint ghost of a mothball. The woman at the desk, bless her heart, seemed like she'd seen a few things in her time. "Room 308," she mumbled, handing me a key that looked older than I am. "Enjoy." I think she might've winked. I'm not entirely sure, my brain was still sorting out the train trauma.
- 4:00 PM - The Room: Unassuming and Undeniably Welcoming: My room wasn't winning any design awards, let's be real. Think functional. Think cleanish. But, it had a view of the sea! And a surprisingly comfy bed. Plus, the ancient TV actually worked. Victory!
- 5:00 PM - Seaside Stroll & the Chip Debacle: Ah, the sea! The wind whipped my hair into a frenzy, and the salty air filled my lungs. I felt…something. Excitement? Anticipation? Probably just the desperate need for chips. I headed to the legendary chip shop everyone raved about. The queue was epic - a testament to the quality or maybe just the only place open. I ordered my chips with a generous helping of vinegar, ready for a moment of pure bliss. Bliss was not what I got. The chips were… soggy. Almost undercooked. Honestly, I think my heart broke a little. I ate them anyway, because I'm British and we have a constitutional duty to eat questionable food in awkward situations.
Day 2: Coastal Chaos & the Mysterious Case of the Missing Sunscreen
- 9:00 AM - Breakfast at The Northdale: A Culinary Adventure…Or Maybe Just a Light Snack: The breakfast buffet. It was, shall we say, eclectic. There was everything from the kind of fried eggs that defy the laws of physics to a selection of cereals that I hadn't seen since primary school. The coffee, while surprisingly strong, tasted vaguely of despair. Still, I filled up, fueled by that innate instinct to consume everything.
- 10:00 AM - Beach Time: Sun, Sand, and a Near-Disaster…Involving a Seagull and a Packet of Crisps: The beach! Glorious! The sun was shining, the waves were a gentle murmur, and the sand felt like a thousand tiny blessings underfoot. Then, disaster. I was happily munching on a packet of my favorite crisps, and a seagull - a massive seagull - swooped down. We locked eyes. It was clearly sizing me up. Panic surged. I threw the bag in the air like a football. I think it probably ate the packaging. I did not get the crisps.
- 11:00 AM - Skegness Pier: Arcades, Rollercoasters, and the Existential Dread of the Claw Machine: The pier! Oh, the pier. A whirlwind of flashing lights, excited shrieks, and the faint scent of deep-fried everything. The rollercoasters were slightly terrifying but awesome. The arcades were a relentless assault on my senses. The claw machine, a symbol of everything that is wrong and yet inexplicably captivating. I spent a fiver on that damn machine, trying to win a fluffy unicorn. I got nothing. I felt a profound sense of failure.
- 1:00 PM - Lunch Debacle Round 2: Fish and Chips! Back to the town center for fish and chips. The queue was shorter and I was prepared. The fish was good, but the chips were still not perfect. I swear, Skegness chip-makers must be trolling me.
Day 3: Farewell, Fish, and a Faint Promise of Return
- 9:00 AM - Another Breakfast at the Northdale: Same as yesterday, except I went for second helpings on the sausage.
- 10:00 AM - Souvenir Shopping and a Reluctant Departure: The search for the perfect souvenir commenced. I wanted something that screamed "I went to Skegness!" without screaming "I have questionable taste." I settled on a postcard and a stick of rock.
- 11:00 AM - Check Out. The End. Possibly a New Beginning?: Saying goodbye to The Northdale was bittersweet. It was…an experience. A messy, imperfect, slightly chaotic experience. But, I also think I actually enjoyed it. I wouldn't class it to the likes of the Ritz, but I might return.
Reflections:
Skegness. It’s not glamorous. It’s not fancy. But it’s real. It’s full of chips which aren't always perfect, seagulls who have no sense of personal space, and the comforting, slightly run-down charm of The Northdale Hotel. It's a world away from the polished, Instagram-filtered perfection we're so used to. And, in a strange and wonderful way, that's exactly why I loved it.
So, that was my Skegness adventure. It was a mess. It was imperfect. It was real. And, despite the soggy chips, I'd go back in a heartbeat. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go find a better chippy. Wish me luck!

Skegness Getaway: Northdale Hotel Deals - Honestly, What You Need to Know (and What They Don't Tell You!)
So, is Northdale Hotel really as cheap as it looks? Because my bank account is currently weeping…
Alright, let's be real. "Cheap" is the name of the game at Northdale. I mean, I'm talking "could-probably-afford-this-twice-a-month-if-I-skipped-the-avocado-toast" cheap. My friend, Brenda, well, bless her heart, she booked *three* rooms for her entire extended family (don't ask) because it was that affordable. She later confessed she was expecting, and I quote, "a slightly upgraded Premier Inn."
Spoiler alert: it wasn't. But hey, for the price? You're getting a roof, a bed (hopefully), and the undeniable allure of being near the Skegness seafront. Don't go expecting the Ritz. Think.. a well-worn, slightly-loved, perfectly-adequate-for-a-weekend-of-seaside-shenanigans kind of deal. Just bring your own iron. Seriously.
What's actually in the rooms? Are we talking clean sheets or… something else?
Okay, the rooms are a *bit* of a gamble. I've stayed in a Northdale room that was sparkling, and truly, surprisingly decent. Then I stayed in one… well, let's just say it had seen better days. That time, I may or may not have been convinced a rogue seagull had taken up residence in the corner, judging me from across the room. I exaggerate (slightly).
The basics are there: bed, TV (probably with dodgy reception, but hey, you're not there to watch TV, right?), and a bathroom that *usually* works. The cleanliness, however, can vary. My advice? Pack some antibacterial wipes. And maybe a little bit of hope. It helps. And if you're lucky, you'll get a room with a view. My view last time? The fire escape. Romantic!
The deals mention "breakfast included." What's that *actually* mean? Is it edible?
Breakfast. Ah, the breakfast. This is where things get *interesting*. The Northdale breakfast is a Skegness institution. It's a legendary, a rite of passage... for better or for worse. Think "full English," but with a charmingly haphazard approach. Sausages that might be a little… *pale*. Bacon that may be more "slightly crispy" than "perfectly cooked." Toast that appears to have been pre-buttered... and left sitting for a while.
But honestly? After a night by the sea, maybe a few too many pints, it absolutely hits the spot. And the staff? They're generally lovely, trying their best, and probably exhausted from dealing with hungover holidaymakers. Just... don't expect haute cuisine. Embrace the slightly chaotic charm! Plus, the coffee... let's just say it's plentiful and it'll definitely wake you up.
Is it actually *in* Skegness? Because some hotel websites are sneaky about that.
Yes, yes, a thousand times yes! Northdale is *in* Skegness. It's not three hours away pretending to be in Skegness. It's right amongst the action! You can practically smell the fish and chips from your room. (Though depending on your room, that might be a *slightly* different smell.)
You are indeed within walking distance of the beach, the arcades, the rides, and the general seaside mayhem. Honestly, the location is a huge selling point. You can roll out of bed, grab a quick (and slightly questionable) breakfast, and be on the beach building sandcastles before you can say "bucket and spade." Perfect for families, even if your family is as chaotic as mine... which, let's be honest, probably is.
Okay, be honest: What's the worst thing about staying at the Northdale Hotel?
Alright, deep breath. The "worst" thing? It depends on your expectations. If you're expecting luxury, you're going to be disappointed. The decor isn't exactly modern. And soundproofing? Non-existent. You *will* hear your neighbours. you *will* hear the seagulls... you know, if you get a room like mine, that's actually inhabited with them too. The noise at night is a common complaint, you will hear everything going on in the street.
But for me? It's the inconsistent internet. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it disappears faster than the last sausage at breakfast. This may lead to minor, though incredibly frustrating, tech withdrawal symptoms... I'm addicted. It's a struggle in 2024. So, if you NEED to stream movies or answer urgent emails, well... prepare to get creative. Find a cafe, find a phone, maybe just embrace the digital detox .
Is it family-friendly? I'm traveling with a small army (aka: my five kids).
Family-friendly? That's actually a YES! Northdale is built for kids. And the Northdale *family* really know how to keep kids entertained, you'll find them running about and running wild. They're on top of it! It's close to everything, which means fewer whines of "are we there yet?" from the back seat. The price is definitely kid-friendly too - less money to spend on the hotel, more on the arcades!
However... the rooms are, shall we say, *cozy*. So, if you have a large family, consider booking adjoining rooms if it's within budget. otherwise, you'll all be sharing a "charming" space. Also, the walls *are* thin. So, be prepared for noise. And be considerate of your fellow guests. (And maybe pack some earplugs for yourself!) My advice? Embrace the chaos. After all, that's what Skegness is all about!
Parking... is it a nightmare?
Parking in Skegness, in general, can be a bit of a trial. The Northdale has *some* parking, but it's limited. And honestly, it can be a bit of a free-for-all. Be prepared to squeeze your car in. You'll probably *need* to be a driver on the smaller side. And if the hotel car park is full, you may need to park on the street, which can be a pain, especially during peak season. It's a close walk to the beach. Do you know what I mean?
My advice? Go off season if you can.Hotel Search Site
