Happy Tails - Hogsthorpe

Our 1st visit to Happy Tails and we were not disappointed. The accommodation is excellent. Spotlessly clean and well equipped , Julie & Paul have thought of everything to make your stay easier. Situated in a very quiet cul de sac with no through traffic and a secure garden. 2 Pubs in the village The Saracens Head are very accommodating to dogs & owners. The Victoria Tavern doesn't allow dogs in the pub unfortunately. 2 minute drive to nearest beach but lots of other beaches nearby. All great for walking dogs on.
Will book again.

Sandy Paws - Sutton on Sea

Our first visit to Sandy paws, situated in a very quiet area, no through traffic .
The bungalow was clean, fresh and well equipped.
Garden was perfect for the dogs and us humans, sunshine and shade. A pleasant few minutes walk to the very quiet beach, plenty of space even at high tide. Sutton sea has everything we needed. The Bacchus hotel on the high street is dog friendly with a large garden, we had a nice lunch and stopped for drinks another day before walking back to Sandy paws.
One of the best holidays we have had .
We loved it so much we have booked for next year .

Thank you

We had a lovely week at Sandy Paws.
Accommodation is spotless and very fog friendly.
Short walk to miles of quiet beach and footpaths.
There are plenty of really good, dog friendly places to visit out and about.
Brown's ice cream farm has a good menu and does an amazing breakfast, perfect on our last morning.

Very very clean and tidy.
Thank you

Sandy Paws - Sutton on Sea

This truly is the most dog friendly holiday accommodation we have found most places that advertise as dog friendly really are not as usually it's one or 2 well behaved dog's (we have 5 between us) also they are not allowed on the furniture or into the bedroom's but as Julie and Paul are dog owners themselves they have thought of everything to make sandy paws the absolute perfect holiday home from home,

— Nina Ellaway , 21 May 2022

Little Pawprints - Sutton on Sea

Little Pawprints is a wonderful place to relax and unwind. Secure enclosed garden so no worries. It really is 10 seconds to the beach , and what a beach!!!! We stayed in May and often had beach to ourselves. We had everything we needed and could not ask for more.

— Patricia Ann Pidd, 21 May 2022

Sandy Paws - Sutton on Sea

We have just returned from our second visit to Sandy Paws and we enjoyed it even more this time, because we knew we were going to the best dog friendly place we have ever been to. The bungalow is beautiful & absolutely spotless, really is home from home with lots of extra touches. They really have thought of everything. The garden is 100% dog safe and not overlooked. We especially like that its seconds to Acre Gap nature walk that leads straight to the quiet beach. We will be booking again for next year.

— Lisa Desmond, 14 May 2022

My second visit to Sandy Paws and this time for a week. I stayed last year for 4 days just as we were coming out of lockdown. It was so lovely to see everywhere open again, all the places I wanted to try that I couldn’t last year.
I love Sutton on Sea as it is so quiet but at the same time has everything you need!
Sandy Paws again was perfect! Clean with everything you could possibly need and want provided including those things you may have forgotten such as dog bowls. A wonderful goodie box welcomed us on arrival too, such a kind and generous added extra.
The house and garden are so perfectly set up for dogs (and owners) and it is so reassuring knowing that the dogs are safe.
I met so many people out walking that were so friendly and stopped to chat, just a wonderful area where you can go for miles along the beach.
Nothing is too much trouble with Julie either, such wonderful hosts.
Cannot recommend Pawprints holidays enough and especially Sandy Paws.

— Sue Foord, 08 May 2022

I have just spent a week at Little Pawprints Sutton on Sea. The cottage was lovely in fact when I walked in I thought WOW I'm in the wrong place this is the show house. It was so clean and well decorated perfect for the dogs. It has tiled floors so easy to clean but they had a texture so the you didn't slip on them. There was every thing you could need for a holiday whether you ate out ordered takeaways or chose to cook. There was even a cupboard with lots of dog bowls and towels and a couple of balls in case you forgot the pups favourite toy. The back garden was a little suntrap and very safe to let the dogs out to run around. The front garden has a bonded resin surface which is great for parking the car on. Turn right out the gate and less than a minute and you will reach a public footpath sheltered from the sea breeze or walk up the slope and you can walk along a flat promenade for miles. You can also take your dog on the beach at this point and walk along the sea shore watching the tide come or go. We also walked to Mablethorpe twice a very pleasant walk. 10 mins from the cottage and you had walked into the town of Sutton on Sea. The town was lovely very clean and dog friendly a bit like an old fashioned holiday resort from your childhood. Dogs are not allowed on the beach by the town but there are lots of beach areas to take your dog. This was a lovely relaxing break and I will certainly go back.

— Jackie Parker, 07 May 2022

First time visit to Sandy Paws and what a fabulous place to holiday with your dogs! There is everything you need to enjoy a relaxing holiday, safe and secure garden, hosepipe to rinse sandy feet, easy clean floors and an easy 5 minute walk to the sea, we had a great time. Julie provides milk, tea and biscuits for when you arrive and a lovely box of goodies for the dogs plus dog towels, bowls and a couple of spare leads. Sutton on sea has a really good Chinese takeaway and chip shop too, what more could you need? We all wanted to move In 😊

— Anne Barnett, 01 May 2022

Our second trip to Happy Tails in Hogsthorpe was every bit as enjoyable as our first. The Bungalow is absolutely stunning, has everything and more that you could need on holiday and has been laid out to provide ample space for those with multiple Dogs. The lounge easily accommodates our dogs HiK9 beds and the access directly into the rear garden from the drive helps reduce the sand/dirt from being transported into the Bungalow. The Bungalow has beautiful views from the lounge and for those who enjoy a good Sunrise you can literally watch it from the main bedroom. You are spoilt for choice of Dog friendly Beaches, all a short drive away, our favourites being Moggs Eye and Mablethorpe.
The owners are lovely and can't do enough to ensure your stay is hassle free. Communication and directions are excellent.
We can't wait to come back for another visit and have no problem at all recommending Happy Tails.
Thank you for everything Julie and family, we hope to see you again later in the year.
Bev, Paul and the Dogs (Chippy, Leo, Breyah and Arch)

Just back from another fabulous stay at little pawprints. This is our second visit and just as perfect as the first. The property is immaculate and of a very high standard, the little touches left are really thoughtful and come in very handy (spare dog poo bags, treats, milk and coffee etc) The property is so clean and well presented with everything you could need for a comfortable stay. It feels very homely, We love coming here.
The property is less than 5 mins walk from the beach and is very quiet with a private garden and parking. One of my dogs is quite anxious but she settles her in her bed quickly. The area is great for dogs, lots of long walks and plenty of places to avoid others if needed. Local shops nearby and a good location to get to other attractions. Couldn't recommend highly enough - we'll be back again soon

— Jo R, 05 Apr 2022

Had an amazing week at Little Pawprints. Great little bungalow - really well equipped, great shower and comfy bed 🙂
Fully enclosed garden and easy to clean floors.. perfectfor the dogs!
Short walk to the dog friendly beach (1min 19 seconds... I timed it!), 10 min walk into town with a great bakery and butchers and places to eat.
The dogs and us humans loved it 🙂
Will definitely be back

— Sandra McGill , 16 Nov 2021

Had an amazing 4 night break at Little Pawprints.
Really can't recommend 'little pawprints' enough, will definitely be booking again for 2022. Such a well suited bungalow with everything close by. Juile, has put so much effort into making it all about relaxation and about the dogs, and it shows massively.
I really did enjoy my stay and thank you for everything.

— Mrs Kelly Reeve, 30 Oct 2021

My friend and I really enjoyed our stay at Sandy Paws, The accommodation was beautifully appointed and just a short stroll from the beach. The dogs also loved it and their welcome pack. Many thanks for that Julie. We will definitely go back. We were blessed with the weather too. Can't recommend highly enough. Many thanks

— Sue Wood, 28 Oct 2021

We've had an amazing weekend stay in little paws with our pooches.
I can't recommend this property highly enough, the location is perfect. A very short walk and straight onto the beach, local shops also a short walk away. Nice quiet location with off street parking which is a huge bonus. The property itself is very spacious, beautifully presented and exceptionally clean. The thoughtful little touches (tea, coffee, milk, dog treats) were an unexpected bonus and very handy after the journey.
The garden is very secure, clean and nicely presented. I also love that there were quality cleaning products and hoovers, which really were useful. Often holiday properties supply basic products, if any, so this is another great touch.

We've walked for miles and have thoroughly enjoyed our time, so much so we've already rebooked! Looking forward to next time!

— Jo, 27 Oct 2021

We have just had our 1 st holiday in 15 years never taken the dogs away found pawprints on face book and we are glad we did good size bungalow well equipped clean felt right at home the beach was minitues from the front door miles of walking both on the beach and the coastal bath we loved it and could have stayed for a second week would recommend sandypaws to anyone with multi dogs 😁😁

— Diane and mark, 10 Oct 2021

We have been making 'Pawprints Dog Friendly holidays' our chosen destination every year since 2015.
Very few places accept multiple dogs, but Pawprints doesn't just accept them - they actively welcome them! Our latest stay was for 2 weeks with 12 dogs and the reason we return year on year is because they have thought of everything to make it a holiday where both dogs and their owners can truly relax and enjoy their time away. It's not just how clean, spacious and confortable the accomodation is, or the sofas and beds that the dogs can snuggle up on too, or the dog friendly flooring or the lovely secure garden - it's all the little touches, like the 'I'm on holiday' dog tags / water bowls / doggy towels / information book with dog-friendly places to visit during your stay / welcome pack with doggy toys & treats and canine themed decorations everywhere that sets Pawprints Dog Friendly Holidays way ahead of the rest.
The care and attention to detail shows that they are truly dog lovers and understand the importance of being able to share your holiday with your dogs too. All of the family, both human and canine have their every need catered for and the Bungalow is the best!
The location of the property a few minutes from the beach also makes it perfect for long leisurely walkies along the sea and if you can manage to pull yourself out the enormous luxury bed to see the sunrise on the beach it is absolutely beautiful. A stunning way to start the day!
We have already booked another 2 weeks next year and highly recommend Pawprints Dog Friendly Holidays.

— Helen, Pete, Natty and pack of 12! , 03 Oct 2021

Another beautiful property and such a fantastic location, so close to the beach and the town centre. Everything you need, a true home from home. Eva and Teddie settled straight away and really enjoyed their days at the beach.

— Heather Howieson, 18 Sep 2021

Just had our 3rd holiday with paw prints a truly dog friendly holiday, sandy paws has everything to make our stay perfect, the dog's loved their welcome bag of treats and toy's, the bungalow is immaculately clean and the garden is secure so we can relax knowing our dog's are safe, going for long walks on the beach and seeing our dogs running in and out if the sea is pure joy, we will be coming to sandy paws for all our holidays as it's perfect for us humans and our 5 dog's

— Nina ,Chris and Ange, 13 Sep 2021

Had a very comfortable stay at Little Pawprints. No need to get the car out as less than a minute onto the beach and only 10/15 minutes into Sutton on Sea for cafes and groceries. However if anyone wants a change of scenery the beach at Mablethorpe is huge and dog friendly, although the town not much to my taste. We also visited NT’s Gunby Hall, and decided to check out Louth, which is an attractive market town and took the opportunity to walk the dogs in Hubbard’s Hills a park on the outskirts of Louth which made a very pleasant change.

— Sarah Wilton, 05 Sep 2021

Had a lovely stay at Little Paws cannot fault the accommodation it was first class and the nicest place have stayed in, My grandson and our dogs loved it. Everything had been provided for and loads of interesting places to visit just short drive away, the dogs and grandson loved the walks on the beach and we will definitely be back, many thanks for a wonderful stay

— Helen, 05 Sep 2021

This was our second year at Sandy Paws and we had an amazing time. The bungalow was immaculate and very spacious even with our multiple dogs and people. The short walk along grassy paths to the dog friendly beach was perfect, as were all the other miles of quiet, dog friendly beach. We’re hoping that by the time we visit again the new cafe at Huttoft will be open and we can add it to our list of great places for coffee.

— Ann Fairweather , 31 Aug 2021

We just spent a week at Happy Tails. Everything was perfect. We were impressed from the beginning when we made the initial booking enquiry through to being sent all appropriate information the week leading up to our stay.
First impressions didn't disappoint, the bungalow was immaculate, very clean and welcoming. The doggy ornaments and touches had us smiling and they had thought of everything.
The dog friendly beaches are fabulous, so many walks, our Sprocker Bramble loved it!
We had lovely meals at The Red Lion in Mumby and the Saracens Head in Hogsthorpe, both were very dog friendly. The waffles at Wren Farm were amazing, Bramble thought the special doggylicous treat was very tasty too.
Thank you once again for a superb doggy friendly holiday.

— Jakki Knight, 25 Aug 2021

We spent a very comfortable week at Sandy Paws. The bungalow was immaculately spotlessly clean and in a super quiet position; it was lovely to go to bed without the usual 'noises' you get from living in central London. The position was perfect to gain access to the dog-friendly beach and also only a short pleasant walk along the seafront to the town centre. Our dog, Monty, loved the beach and digging holes in the sand; he also enjoyed staring out the lounge window watching the cats who lived next door!

— Jonathan Smales, 21 Aug 2021

Fantastic week at Sandy Paws. First holiday with a dog. Probably one of the best family holidays we’ve had. Absolutely perfect with the dog. Plenty of places dog-friendly close by. Dog-friendly beach minutes away. We didn’t get to visit everything we had on the to-do list but would recommend Sandilands and the Fat Seagull for a beach day and lunch in easy walking distance. Farmer Browns for a traditional English breakfast or the best ice-cream. Ice rock cafe for coffee or evening meal. Plenty of places to relax. Very easy promenade walk. Hopefully we’ll be back (if I can persuade the designated driver!)
Thank you for a truly dog friendly, home from home holiday bungalow. (Super-king and king beds, and hot showers really make a difference).

— Angela, 15 Aug 2021

Myself ,daughter,two young children and two young dogs had a fantastic 10 days at your property -Sandy Paws.
Think everyone has said how great the property is—perfect
We really enjoyed the local area,miles of beach and paths.Sutton on Sea was idilic— like holidays of my childhood.Everywhere was spotless,friendly and very reasonably priced.
Local restaurants were amazing
Would like to think we would all come again— but 5 hours journey for family may not make it possible— I will be back without a doubt
Thanks Julie and team for all your help

— Janet Stead, 03 Aug 2021

Fantastic week at Little Pawprints, bungalow is spotlessly clean & very well equipped with a fully enclosed dog friendly garden. Parked car on drive & it didn't move till we drove home, everything is easily walkable with the beach 30 secs away and acre gap nature reserve 3 min max!!!!!! Sutton on Sea town centre is 10 min stroll down the promenade, couple of nice dog friendly pubs. Thanks Julie, we all enjoyed our hols & are hoping to be back very soon!!

— Ian Bluck , 01 Aug 2021

What a gorgeous week we had at Happy Tails. Beautiful bungalow in a very peaceful location. The tiled flooring in the living areas were perfect for my dogs in the hot weather. Beach is 4 minutes by car. Local pub 4 minutes on foot! So lovely to find such high spec accommodation geared specifically for dogs. Will definitely be back!

— Natalie Wallis, 26 Jul 2021

Just returned from Sandy Paws after a fantastic week!
Lovely dog friendly bungalow with an excellent secure garden which the dogs could run free in without worry.
Only a short walk from the beach for those early morning cool walks out of the heat of the day.
Plenty for humans to do as well, nice walks or cycles up and down the promenade to Mablethorpe to the North and Anderby Creek to the South.
Plenty of dog friendly places to eat, The Bacchus Hotel in Sutton itself and The Red Lion in Mumby are both well worth a visit! Also Waldos is handy for a fish and chip take out!
If you play golf then Skegness Golf Centre is well worth a visit!
We cannot wait to return!

— Rob Swindells, 24 Jul 2021

A beautiful clean and modern bungalow. Easy access to the beach and local shops!! Four legged and two legged guests will thoroughly enjoy their stay!

— Lisa Britton, 24 Jul 2021

July 2021
Just back from four days at Little Paws, WOW what a place. Very clean and the best dog friendly accommodation we have ever been in, the bungalow is very clean and dog friendly , the garden is extremely dog secure. We parked the car and it stayed parked, didn’t use it once. Eric and Ernie enjoyed their welcome toy a bit too much 🙄 Beautiful beach walks and footpaths in the area, thank you Julie for a very enjoyable couple of days.
Sarah, Pete, Eric and Ernie

June 2021
Had a lovely week at Sandy Paws again, our 2nd visit and we absolutely love the bungalow and the area.
Sandy Paws is perfect, comfy and cosy. The super king-size bed is pure luxury. Well stocked with everything for the dog, nice big secure garden too.
The beach is a 5 minute walk through a lovely nature reserve and the town is a 15 minute walk along the promenade. The town has everything you need and is a traditional seaside town. The beaches are huge and never too busy.
Lots to do in the area and all dog friendly.
As far as I'm concerned Pawprints Dog Friendly Holidays proved the best holiday lets ever, the bungalow is so clean and tidy when you arrive its like no else has been there before.
We wouldn't go anywhere else on holiday it's like a home from home.

— Carolanne Street , 03 Jul 2021

June 2021.
Just got back from a fantastic holiday at Sandy Paws. It was our first visit with my husband, 90 year old dad and our three dogs. The bungalow was spotlessly clean and very spacious. The beds were amazing so comfortable. It was lovely to be able to leave the patio doors open in the kitchen so the dogs could come and go as they pleased in the secure garden area.
We visited the Donkey Sanctuary in Huttoft, I am an animal lover so was in my element and could have stayed all day feeding the donkey's. We had a lovely Sunday lunch at the Red Lion in Mumby which is dog friendly and also visited Seascape at Chapel St Leonards which is also dog friendly and the food is superb. My only regret is that the holiday went too quickly. Would definitely recommend this 5star bungalow and its lovely owners.

— Anne Phillips, 26 Jun 2021

We have had a great week staying at Happy Tails. The bungalow is spacious, all facilities are to a high standard and spotlessly clean - just what we expected after having stayed at Sandy Paws in Sutton on Sea a couple of years ago. We had hoped to be staying at Happy Tails last year but we were in lockdown so had to postpone to this year. It was so worth the wait. Everything you need for the holiday is provided, including an umbrella for the garden seating area. It is a very short distance from Hogsthorpe to the coast ... our favourite spot was near The Observatory, where Jess exhausted herself running up and down the beach and then you (and the dog/s) can relax afterwards for a coffee or food at the cafe which is excellent and they provide fresh drinking water for dogs. We also sought out the park area at Beresford Ave in Skegness, after reading another visitor's comment and this is great if you don't want to be on a sandy walk! We would not hesitate to recommend Happy Tails or Sandy Paws (haven't tried Little Sandy Paws yet!) and we will definitely be rebooking. It is a beautiful area of the coast and so quiet. Just what we needed and of course Jess is happy and exhausted.

— Mandy & Kit plus Jess the labrador, 20 Jun 2021

We had a fabulous week at Sandy Paws very comfortable accommodation for the dogs and there humans. Close to the beach for lovely walks and fun in the sea. Thank you

— Tracey Pike , 19 Jun 2021

We had a lovely family break at Sandy Paws, the house was everything we wished for and all the dogs needs had been thought of. Loved being so close to the beach, and every time we went up we had low tide. The dogs didn't stop running. Would recommend for all dog lovers, nice not to worry about the beds and the furniture like so many so called 'dog friendly' holiday homes. Excellent communication with Julie, very helpful, quick return of my deposit. Hopefully we will be back again.

— Jenny Brooks, 14 Jun 2021

Another fantastic week at Happy Tails. Clean, comfortable and relaxing. Everything thought of for dogs and their servants. We'll certainly be vack

— Sue Greaves, 12 Jun 2021

This was our first stay at Happy Tails we arrived on Saturday and by Sunday we decided to rebook for next year, the accommodation was really great both for us and our dogs, the garden is fully secure even for our beagles, the bungalow had everything in it that we needed and it was spotless, the beds were as comfortable as ours at home and it was lovely to have a super king size one the same as home as it gets a bit tight with everyone wanting a share. It was so nice that there wasn’t a list of what your dogs cannot do like no getting on furniture or beds it just meant you weren’t so on edge all the time. We’ve stayed in a lot of holiday let’s and this one is one of the best. Thankyou so much Julie see you next year

— John and Denise Shipton, 05 Jun 2021

Our first holiday away with our new puppy and all I can say is WOW... this place is ideal for all the family as I had two kids and my mum with me .. the accommodation is the ideal set up. . And place from home .. truly is the perfect place to take your fur baby.. the sea coast is fantastic and like having the beach to yourselves .. the kid’s loved it as much as Rosie .. the neighbours are so friendly . Our first holiday be it too short this time was more that I ever expected .this place is a little gold mine . And all I can say is I can’t wait to go back for longer .. thank you so much Sandy paws .. woof woof xx

— Jackie rumble, 31 May 2021

What a wonderful bungalow, just returned from stay at little paws, absolutely set up dog friendly as well as humans !! Our dog lily loved it especially playing on the beach, locals super friendly and accommodation wonderful and clean
Sure we will be back
Thanks again Julie for a truly dog friendly holiday
The holloway family

— nicola holloway, 15 May 2021

Our first visit to Sandy Paws and definitely not our last, in fact we rebooked before we had even left.
If you are looking for a home from home stay with everything both you and the dogs require, then look no further.
Wonderful clean bungalow kitted out with everything you could possible need, a goodie bag on arrival, a very secure back garden and less then 5 minutes walk to the beach where you can walk for miles!
Some great takeaways in town but equally fabulous cooking facilities at home.
Very friendly and helpful neighbours too which is always a bonus.
We loved our stay and can’t wait to come back next year.

— Sue & Bailey, 01 May 2021

We have just returned from our first holiday at Sandy Paws and have already re-booked for next year! Absolutely spotless and beautiful bungalow with a very secure garden. Lots of dog friendly extras and even a little doggy bag with a present for the dogs on arrival. Lovely walk literally seconds from the bungalow to a nature reserve that takes you directly to the beach.

— lisa desmond, 28 Apr 2021

We visited Little Pawprints for the first time, 19-23 April. The accommodation is very spacious, well appointed and spotlessly clean. The sunny garden was very secure which our three small dogs loved to run around in. One of our dogs is particularly small (3kg) and there was still no means of escape, which means you can relax and let then do their own thing.
It was really appreciated to be able to have mats for the floors, so they didn't slip and pet stairs.
We didn't get up to much, still socially distancing, but the large spacious sandy beach was only a very short walk away, which was lovely for the dogs (and us!).
We will definitely be returning, it is truly dog friendly.

— Rachael, 27 Apr 2021

We were so happy to be back at Happy Tails as the COVID restrictions eased. This trip, we discovered the local pub “The Tavern” which is walking distance, very dog friendly with welcoming hosts. Luckily we had the weather on our side with compulsory outside seating and you get a chat with the locals. We also discovered a great area for dog walking away from the beach - the sea was pretty rough some days so we needed an alternative to beach walkies. Try Beresford Avenue, Skegness ( 20 mins). It’s got open fields, walkways and woodland areas. Absolutely ideal for those days when the weather forces you away from the coast. Finally, thanks for providing a “dog” gate - our 3 dogs settled much better this time and we all got a decent nights sleep!!

— Tracey Rowe, 25 Apr 2021

Had a fantastic week at a fantasic place ,could not fault a thing ,our 4 Shih Tzus had a blast on the beach which is very easy to get to .Thank you Julie really hope to return soon ,

— Irene Scott, 24 Apr 2021

we have had a wonderful week down at happytails
The bungalow is so well set up with everything you need .the garden is low maintenance and dog friendly
Large driveway so lots of off road parking in a quite close. And everywhere local is dog friendly.

— k e jones, 17 Oct 2020

Thank you for our pawfect holiday! 3 glorious nights of sunshine, coastal walks, idyllic cosy nights in and happy doggies! The bungalow is just stunning, perfect location, and thank you for the welcome gifts xx

— Matt, Jodie & Vaughan , 21 Sep 2020

What a wonderful home from home Happy Tails is. Daily walks on all these gorgeous quiet beaches has been the best medicine to relieve the covid stress too x

— Jules, Cyn, Breeze & Guide Dog Gorby, 18 Sep 2020

Thank you Julie & Paul. Relaxing and restful holiday lovely walks to the beach. Bungalow is brilliant. Robyn loved her welcome gift x

— Matt & Jane & Robyn the Spaniel, 18 Sep 2020

Our stay at "Little Pawprints" was perfect. Beautiful accommodation quiet relaxing location, stunning beaches & walks for the dogs. Lots of dog friendly locals. We could stay here forever! The dogs loved it. We will look forward to coming again.

Skye & Rebus loved every second!
So did we humans! xxxx

— Pat M, 11 Sep 2020

WOW! We are so privileged to have been the 1st guests!
Julie told me the property wasn't 100% finished but it is perfect. The location to the beach & town is fantastic.
Little Pawprints is absolutely stunning, and the extra details and things Julie provides ensures a home from home feeling while enjoying the perks of being on holiday.
We couldn't ask for more. See you next year xx

— S. Irving, 28 Aug 2020

A perfect getaway! Much needed and didn't disappoint! Lovely bungalow in a great location - thank you! x

— Ann, Hannah, Simon, Jen & Richard. Flicka, Cadi, Diva, Vixen, Fate & Spyro, 28 Aug 2020

Just wanted to say how delighted we are with Happy Tails. It's no exaggeration to say it's undoubtedly the loveliest house we've stayed in....and blimey, we've stayed in quite a few. Previously we've felt that we're expected to take lower standards just because we have dogs - thank you for having a completely different mind set. We're talking about a return visit and only been here 24 hours!! And it's torrential rain!
Best wishes
Tracey & Mike Rowe and 4 happy dogsters!!

— Tracey & Mike Rowe, 29 Sep 2019

We had a wonderful holiday at Sandy Paws, staying with our son, his girlfriend and Jess the labrador. The bungalow is very spacious, clean and very well equipped. The beds are extremely comfortable and obviously good quality - a gold star bonus as far as I am concerned as that doesn't often happen in holidiay rental properties. Lots of extras available for dogs - spare bowls, dog towels, leads, poo bags (!) etc. just in case you have left anything you need at home. The rear garden is fully enclosed so no worries about your dog escaping under a hedge! The house location is superb, only a couple of minutes walk to an expanse of mostly deserted beach, but there is also a flat level pathway right along the coast (so you can walk your dog/s on the lead for miles if you want). All the facilities you need are available in Sutton on Sea (including a pet shop and a vet) but only a few minutes in the car to Mablethorpe if you want. If you like a peaceful holiday and haven't been to Sutton on Sea before I highly recommend you visit. We have been many times previously to the town but the first time staying at this property and it is the perfect place to stay - so close to the beach and within flat walking distance of the town. Loved it.

— Mandy and Kit Kenworthy, 13 Jul 2019

Our first holiday here - but we hope not the last! Beautiful bungalow - shame about the weather!

— Valerie and the 'gang of five' Bess, Merlin, Mystic, Pixie & Sprite, 14 Jun 2019

Lovely, comfortable with our dogs. Enjoyed walks in the area. Beaches & Wolds both worth a visit.

— Anita & Charles with Ted, Molly & Jermima, 13 Jun 2019

It is our 4th stay @ Sandy Paws and we fall in love with it a little more each time we stay. We have decided a week just isn't enough so we are going to book a two week block next year! Thank you Julie & Paul for another wonderful stay. We look forward to returning in November!!!

Fab bungalow with everything you need a real home from home. Was great to have the beach 5 mins away the pups loved it. Pup welcome bag - towel, handmade doggy treats and toy, what a lovely surprise. Plus extras for us Tassimo pods, milk, tea coffee etc nice touch. Andy had his 54th birthday, both Bailey and Charlie celebrated the 1st Birthdays here this week and Diane birthday was the week before our holiday so you could say "BIRTHDAY BUNGALOW" one to remember.... Seal Sanctuary a must, Fat Seagull best Sunday lunch, Cafe & Cream cafe fab cooked breakfast. The Dolphin for fish & chips.

— Carmel & Chris Wake, 02 Nov 2018

As regulars to Pawprints in Devon, we had not holidayed on the Lincolnshire coast before. However, Sandy Paws is a true home-from-home - and well named for the proximity to the beaches. Weather was great, Alford & local villages were lovely. Fat Seagull was fab!!! Hope to return soon, and sad to be leaving. Thank you Sandy Paws xx

Perfect holiday accommodation for a family holiday. We had been looking forward to our week for a long time and there was nothing to disappoint us. Everything was comfortable and the house is very well equipped for everyone's needs. Dogs loved the freedom of going in and out to the garden they also loved their walks to the beach. Looking forward to visiting again. Thank you Julie & Paul we have a lovely relaxed week.

— Karen, Paul, Mark & Megan, 17 Aug 2018

We have really enjoyed our week, lovely walks on beach, beautiful sunsets and very comfortable bungalow. Thank you so much. Really recommend the Red Lion for the welcome they gave the dogs. They were treated like VIPs.

A wonderful retreat. Super clean, cozy & welcoming. Nearby secluded beaches & countryside & a wonderful secure garden for my "kids".

— Dawn, 30 Jul 2018

Lovely bungalow, super for both dogs and people. Ideal for our old girls, Maisy (aged 15) loved sunbathing by the patio door. Lovely location with the Acre Gap and beach so close. Maisy went swimming and tOby and Freddie loved the water too. Nice meal at The Red Lion and recommend the Mablethorpe Seal Sanctuary, donkey sanctuary and a day in Lincoln.

We've had a wonderful week staying in your gorgeous bungalow! The dogs in particular have enjoyed being off lead, very safe area for them. Loved the beach walks twice (sometimes 3!) times per day. The Fat Seagull - excellent food & if you venture into Louth - The Greyhound pub - food delicious & staff super friendly!

— Karon, Phil, Adele, Mark & Peter, 04 Aug 2017

Nice dog decorations & touches. The sky views are lovely from the bungalow. Nice up cycled furniture in the bedrooms & lovely town!

— Sara, Sandy & Jimmy, 10 Jul 2017

Sandy Paws - House is beautiful & has everything you need. The local beach was ideal for our antisocial dog as he could be off lead & not bump into anyone. We'd definitely recommend the sand train in Mablethorpe for those with children. The Fat Seagull in Sandilands was fab for a Sunday lunch!

— The Sidwells, 20 Jun 2017

Just back from our holiday at Sandy Paws. Loved it! The bungalow is well equipped, comfy and just as welcoming as Pawprints. Brilliant, quiet location within easy walking distance of the (mostly deserted) beach. No driving. Dogs can be off lead all the way! Only negative thing was we had to come home!

— Kim & Stan M , 16 Jun 2017

We have previously stayed at Pawprints in Devon, so decided to give Sandy Paws a try. Loved it just as much as Pawprints, if not more! Location wise, it is perfect, very quiet and peaceful and only minutes from the doggy beach. The accommodation is beautifully presented. A lot of thought and hard work has gone into the renovations, from the upcycled furniture to all the little doggy touches! The shower was amazing and we really enjoyed sitting out in the garden, watching our doggies play on the grass! We had extremes of weather during our stay. Over the weekend, it was very hot and Sandy Paws was cool, airy and comfortable. Later in the week a severe weather warning was issued (Rain / gales) so we popped on the heating and we were lovely and warm and toasty! We stayed as a family of 4 and 16 dogs. 3 generations raging from 15 years to 79 years! During our stay, we had a meal at the Sea Breeze restaurant (a MUST!) We also visited Woodthorpe Garden Centre at Alford to see the animatronic dinosaurs and have a go at the Maze / Radcliffe Donkey Sanctuary at Huttoft / Farmer Browns Ice cream Parlour / Mablethorpe Seal Sanctuary / The smallest cinema in the world!!! Loewen Cinema at Mablethorpe / The Sooty Show and an acdc tribute act at the Embassy theatre in Skegness / Lido paddling pool in Sutton on Sea / Open Garden at Rose Cottage on Church Lane...there really is something for EVERYONE in the area and then it is lovely to come back to Sandy Paws and relax. This is our new favourite place. Wish we could stay more often, but have already booked again for next year!
