Pros:

Our family needed emergency accommodation due to an unexpected health issue and the owners of this wonderful B+B were ever so helpful.
They made us feel welcome and ensured that we had everything we needed to get us through a tough couple of days. Breakfast every morning was superb and the rooms and beds were very comfortable.

We would definitely return - under different circumstances next time!!

Cons:

Nothing

Brilliant stay at The Franklyn for a visit to Blackpool
Pros:

I had a lovely stay at The Franklyn Hotel, with its great location close to Blackpool North train station for those using public transport, and nearby parking facilities.  It was easy to get to the main attractions, such as Blackpool Tower or the promenade.

The hosts Cath and Marc were friendly and available if needed. I loved the fruit kebabs, and the breakfast provided was very filling.  It was great chatting to Cath about the local history as well.  Although I travelled solo, I felt very much at home, thanks to the conversations with the hosts and other guests.  I found the hotel clean and quiet, and I would recommend it to others visiting the area.

Cons:

My bed was a little soft, but it wasn't an issue and I slept well.

Best hotel we have stayed in!
Pros:

Cath and Marc are wonderful hosts. The best experience we have had. Comfortable rooms, clean, spacious. Excellent breakfast with all the options you could wish for. The location is perfect, close enough to the promenade (5 minutes walk) while also not being too loud at night. We will certainly be going back! Thank you Cath and Marc.
