Chapel Point Holiday Lets

Chapel Point Holiday Lets is a small chalet park on the Lincolnshire coast, a few minutes from the sand at Chapel St Leonards, and it suits dogs about as well as a seaside base can. The chalets are self-contained, so there are no shared corridors or lobbies to negotiate, and guests travelling with dogs report enclosed outdoor space at the chalet, which means a dog can be let out without being watched every second.

Dogs are welcomed here rather than merely tolerated. Parties have stayed with two dogs without difficulty, and there is a dedicated dog walking area just across the road from the park, which saves the usual holiday-park routine of trekking to the perimeter every time. The park itself is quiet, which helps if a dog is unsettled by noise or by other dogs passing the door.

The hosts are a large part of why guests with dogs rate the place so highly. Reports consistently describe an owner-run site where the welcome is warm and practical rather than formal, and where problems get sorted quickly. Chalets are described as clean, cosy and warm, with bedding provided.

The location earns its keep. The beach is a short walk, the dog-friendly stretch of sand is about five minutes away, the North Sea Observatory nearby does food and drink, and there is a shop within walking distance, so the car can stay parked once you have arrived.

Two things to settle before booking. Only some of the chalets take dogs and the arrangement has to be agreed in advance, so this is not a place to arrive at with a dog unannounced. The park accepts up to two dogs and limits them to small breeds, which rules it out for anyone travelling with a large dog. No pet fee is published, so ask what the charge is at the same time. Storage in the smaller bedroom is limited. Otherwise this is a straightforward, good-value coastal base for dog owners, and its 4.5/5 paw rating reflects that.
