There is a selection of breakfasts to choose from,fried breakfasts,cereals,crumpets,sausage sandwich etc,you can have tea/coffee/fruit juices,and there is always plenty.
The Ivydene is a Family run Guest House,and the owners are friendly and helpful. Nothing as everything is spot on.

Claire went especially to get gluten free food for us which was very much appreciated. The only little thing I can think of is maybe having a slightly more powerful shower in the bathroom
- Kim (8/5): Comfortable stay - Comfortable beds, comfortable pillows, lights next to bunk beds, plenty of furniture to put belongings in, nice breakfast, stunning dining area intact stunning all way round, kindly stored luggage for us until check in, kindly carried heavy suitcase up the stairs to our room for us. Smelly bedding did speak to host about this bedding was changed straight away but unfortunately it was the quilt itself that smelt but nothing that a bit of fabreeze didn’t fix, didn’t have daily housekeeping like stated in advertising.
- Barry (8/5): Very enjoyable - Everything except the stairs and the shower
- O'brien (8/5): Excellent location, amazing food, and a great night's sleep. - We enjoyed having separate areas within the family room which provided more privacy and the beds were extremely comfortable. The hotel is within walking distance to many attractions, the train and bus stations, and a shopping area within Skegness as well as a local restaurant "Tarantino's" which is highly recommended if you enjoy italian cuisine. We can find very few flaws with the hotel, The Ivydene hotel is a highly recommended stay if you are interested in visiting Skegness.
- Maria (8/5): Very good -
