Value for money, great with young kids.
Pros:

It was very accommodating for our family, having 3 children and being able to all be in the same room with our own beds was great. The gaming area was good for the kids too!

Cons:

No breakfast that I was aware of.. no fridge or tea coffee in the bedroom and unfortunately the walls are paper thin, I know this can’t be helped but I could hear next doors every move, conversations and snoring.

Terrible owner/host. Far too nosey.
Pros:

Well situated.
Water bottles in room
Fairly clean
Good decorative order

Cons:

The guy who checked me in. He insists on a convoluted tour of the ground floor facilities. It takes quite a few minutes and is a waste of my time when I just want to get to my room.
He wanted to know rather too much about who I was, why I was there, what I do for a living. Then when I returned later same evening he wanted to know where aid been. The guy is exhausting!
Poor soundproofing in the room.
Squeaky bed.

Pros:

It was absolutely brilliant, a little small but it was very clean and great, the guy who owns it was very approachable, very professional and kind. Would definitely stay again. Always spoke to us and made sure everything was great. The bar/restaurant are reasonable prices for what you get.

Pros:

Once I arrived at this property the owners John & Nick was so welcoming introducing me to there fantastic b&b. I loved all the old clocks in the hallways and my room was cozy clean loved the pink decor and nice selection of tea/coffee i never tried before. Shower was warm had a lovely shower at night and my breakfast in the morning was worth getting up for i absolutely enjoyed that and would recommend everyone to stay its not far from Blackpool north train station!

Cons:

Tv kept saying no signal but it was just background noise i barely watched the tv the WiFi kept disconnecting from room 5 but maybe that's because it's the top floor.

The property was brilliant. We ordered burgers at night which where lovely, we did not stay for breakfast the following morning as we had to leave before there time slot 9-10.
