we stayed at this hotel for 3 nights during a dance competition, and it was by far the best stay we've experienced in blackpool. the friendly owners made us feel right at home, and the comfortable double room was perfect after a long day. the breakfast was delicious, and we loved how close we were to the ballroom.

wi-fi was a bit spotty sometimes

A Fantastic Family Getaway!

We enjoyed a wonderful 3-night stay in a lovely double room. The warm welcome from the owner made us feel right at home, and the thoughtful touches like wine and complimentary snacks were delightful. Don’t miss the local eateries nearby and take advantage of the peaceful evenings!

value for money

location

It was a strong match for a holiday in Blackpool with value for money. The room was too small, and some guests left after finding bed bugs. Avoid if looking for a comfortable stay.

I took my son on his first trip here, and it was a great experience for both of us. The owners were welcoming, which made our stay comfortable. We enjoyed the breakfasts and appreciated the clean rooms. The location made it easy to access nearby attractions. I'm from New Zealand, so this stay was a nice change.

we stayed at friends hotel for 3 nights n it was super comfy. the owners, scott n helen, are so friendly n welcoming, it felt like home. breakfast was amazin, really set us up for the day. rooms were decorated lovely n had hot showers, hurrah! location was perfect, just a quick walk to the ballroom for our dance comp.

the only downside was the noise from the street during the day, but it got quiet at night. also, a sliding door on the bathroom would have been nicer.

The hotel had a warm and inviting atmosphere, decorated with charming coastal themes. The staff were always readily available to assist, making it easy for seniors like me to navigate the lovely common areas and enjoy our stay.

More seating in common areas would be helpful.
