Perfect in every way
Pros:

Linda and Tony were absolutely fantastic hosts. From checking in to checking out, they chatted with us and made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed.

The room was lovely, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom looked relatively new. Everything was spotless and they had a very handy information booklet with everything you could possibly need to know.

Breakfast was amazing. We ordered the hot food when we checked in, and it was truly delicious.

Parking was free and easy. Location was perfect for the pleasure beach, and it was easy to walk/get the tram to anywhere else.

We absolutely will stay here any time we’re in Blackpool.
