“What strikes me most is the deeply personal touch, reflecting the care and dedication of a family-run establishment; it's a warmth that's hard to come by. Beyond the comfortable rooms, it's the thoughtful extras-like dedicated play areas for children and a prime spot near Blackpool's attractions-that stand out. This is a place where genuine hospitality meets family-friendly convenience.”

reasonable stay

clean room convenient location warm breakfast dry omelette

The room was very clean. I found the location convenient, near the central pier and beach. The bar area was well kept. A nice lady worked there and ensured a good time.

The breakfast i had needed reheating multiple times. It was only warm initially, not hot. The scrambled egg resembled a dry, chopped-up omelette ONE morning. It did not seem freshly cooked.
