Holiday rentals in Ingoldmells

The Lincolnshire village of Ingoldmells is a traditional British seaside resort with incredible amusement parks and shopping alongside the broad, sandy beach. A long, paved promenade stretches out beside the soft pale sand, and the water is clean and calm — perfect for swimming and kayaking. Lively arcades and thrilling rides at the Fantasy Island Theme Park keep kids and adults entertained in Ingoldmells, while nearby Sea Lane has plenty of shops and places to eat, and even a bowling alley. The fish and chips are famous here, cooked to a traditional family recipe and wrapped in paper to be eaten outside in the fresh sea air. If you feel like a change of scenery, the iconic British seaside resort of Skegness is just a few minutes’ drive along the coast, and golfers are well catered for with several courses in the area offering facilities for all abilities.

As a beach town, Ingoldmells is at its most exciting during the summer months. This is when the weather is at its warmest, and the long, sunny days offer plenty of time to spend at the beach or wandering along the promenade. Spring and autumn are also lovely times to be here, as the weather is still quite pleasant and the resort is quieter. If the amusement park is what draws you, come in late March when it opens with a bang with a spectacular opening party and fireworks show. The park is open through the end of October, and the large market on the grounds is open all year round, apart from Christmas Day. Some businesses close down from November through February, so keep this in mind if you’re thinking about visiting during the quiet winter months.

Ingoldmells Beach

The Lincolnshire coastline has miles of gently shelving, sandy beaches surrounded by grassy dunes, and Ingoldmells is no exception. In addition to traditional bucket-and-spade beach activities, you might rent equipment for kayaking or paddleboarding or even go horseback riding on the beach. Lifeguards are on duty during the summer.

Fantasy Island Theme Park

Fantasy Island Theme Park has a collection of more than 30 rides, including five roller coasters, and range from a classic carousel for little ones to the ever-popular log flume. If rides aren’t your thing, head for Europe’s largest seven-day market, which sits within the park and has more than 300 retail stalls. There are many different cafes, restaurants, and bars scattered throughout the park for you to refuel.
