Staff were lovely & accommodating- the property is well presented and quiet at night.
Pros:

It’s far enough out of the hustle and bustle of Blackpool, near a beautiful stretch of quiet beach.

The property is well maintained and clean - has on site parking.

Cons:

We were on the top floor out of choice, but if we stay again, I’d choose not to have all the stairs next time!

Usually I’d like an on site bar, but it’s not a dealbreaker by any means.

Pros:

We stayed here while attending my son’s football tournament and had a really lovely experience. The staff were very friendly and couldn’t do enough for you and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Breakfast was included each morning and it was delicious with plenty of different choices. The room was clean and comfortable, and we really appreciated the facilities that allowed us to bring our own food and drinks. Overall, very nice people, great atmosphere, and excellent value. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend to anyone visiting Blackpool.

Fabulous value, amazing hosts and welcoming stay. Thank you so much!
Pros:

Amazing hosts that went above and beyond. Nothing was too much!

Cons:

We only had one pillow per person in the room and I’m sure the hosts would’ve given us more if we would’ve asked but we didn’t have time to cos we had a busy weekend.
