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.

Cannot recommend this place enough

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!

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

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

Highly recommended

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!

Lovely place

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. 

Lovely short stay

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!

Really lovely place to stay in Skegness

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.

A lovely guest house with a super friendly host

Nice house beds OK sort of clean . Found the owner totally rude and unwelcoming. We where scared of her we asked for an extra tea bag for the room only to be told that we have to pay for I tea bag and extra milks of which we honestly think this is disgraceful.  When we arrived she got mixed up with the bill . When she was serving the breakfast her hair was long and not tied back totally un hygienic she was rude and very unwelcoming never have we stayed in such a unfriendly place. We will never be going back again we also advise for everyone to stay clear of Joanne and her philmar guesthouse and very expensive for the way we where treated.

Absolutely disgusting attitude off the women called Joanne we found her totally rude and unwelcoming philmar guesthouse

Ideal crash pad for those that won't spend a deal of time in the room. If you want quiet after 10pm this is possibly not the place for you during the summer season. Room facilities were basic but all fully functional apart from the TV. This was put right during my stay so can fault the house keepers. Parking is tight, really tight when the property is at capacity. Had I not been in my van I would have paid to park elsewhere. Overall good value for money. £130 for a 2 night stay during peak season

Close to everything

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!!
