no staff no breakfast
dirty bathroom
Great location, very clean and at a very reasonable price!!
Nothing
Location great for bars
Loved everything
Hosts were lovely. Room, although dated, was very clean. Location is great.
Bed cover wouldn't button up, so it kept coming loose. The toilet was wonky.
Spot on and clean and tidy
Very pleasant and helpful staff
Clean and tidy
Absolutely nothing. How this hotel is still open, I have no idea.
- They kept going in our rooms when we were out WITHOUT consent or making us aware and turning all the plug switches off. Including one that was being used to charge a phone that has medical aid on there. It happened multiple times a day. It was a massive invasion of privacy and I'm not even sure it was legal. We had to check none of our things were robbed because we felt that uncomfortable. - the plumbing is disgraceful. Every time you ran the tap, it smelt of rotten egg. The toilets dont even flush urine, let alone anything else. Basic need requirements were not met. We had to take tablets to stop us from needing a poo because it would block the toilet up, it was literally that bad.
Its clean, staff are friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was good.
Great hosts, good value for money, excellent location.
No negatives about our stay.
Ran by a very friendly family. Nothing was too much trouble. Very clean. Excellent location.
Nothing to dislike.
Welcoming hotel. Very clean and close to central pier. We had a great stay.
The staff was lovely and friendly the room was nice and clean but a bit on the small side
No wifi We couldn't get the TV to work The fire alarm went off witch wasn't a big problem but absolutely scared my Autistic little boy at least we knew they worked.
Staff excellent rooms clean very comfortable smoke alarm works as I triggered it with the shower
Location, friendly owners, competitive value for money compared to other hotels, room had all necessities
Wi-Fi instructions difficult,
We enjoyed our stay and the owners are very friendly & welcoming. Rooms were spotless and comfy
Struggle with hot water in shower however after leaving shower to run for about 5 mins it did get hot
Close to everything. East to find, owner was helpful and happy
The only little thing was our mattress was a bit too springy, could feel the springs
Lovely friendly host. Very clean. Close to all amenities.

The hosts were very friendly and accommodating. The hotel is very clean and the room was comfortable. We were near to Blackpool tower which is were we had a competition. Highly recommended.
Nothing.
Location brilliant, price fantastic and the owner was lovely.
Top floor room with two single beds - Window unable to fully close, little bit noisy. Could've done with a blackout curtain instead of blinds and no hot water in shower
Great location, clean, very obliging host
The breakfast was excellent and the owners were friendly.
N/a
It was an easy check in, nice owner. Comfortable room with black out curtains.
The owner was sound would definitely return again 👍
The smell once you walked in was nice & the owner was friendly & the location was ideal for where we needed to be. Definitely looked like one of the nicest B&Bs from the outside looking in…
The tripe basic room is on the top floor which is fine but it is very small. Doesn’t show the correct bathroom layout & it is very claustrophobic in there. I do not recommend this room if you have small kids due to the height of the ceiling either. Also the most disappointing was not managing to have a hot shower whilst we were there. The sink tap was hot but the shower was stone cold. The owner said it was due to busy times with being on the top floor but it’s a basic necessity to have hot water regardless of the type of room you have or where it is situated in the property. I tried to sort it myself but to no avail. This let the property down massively & don’t recommend this room specifically to anyone..
Room was very clean and furnished to a level above what you'd expect for Blackpool. It didn't have that old worn.out feel you get in many budget Blackpool hotels. The guy running the place was a lovely fellow.
Bed was ok but not massively comfortable.
The check in was nice and easy and the lady who met us was very helpful
No problems
Staff were really friendly, check in was easy, room was clean and comfortable
Excellent value for money , room was clean , bed was comfortable and although the room was on the small side there was well thought out storage provided , breakfast was again excellent value for money and very tasty . Would definitely stay again
Clean, Towel Provided, Good Location near Central car park. We’ve started around 5 times now, will continue to use. Accommodating when I need to change the date due to my friend having a last min operation.
The shower didn’t warm up, but luckily enough the weather was very warm so appreciated the cool water
The hosts were very welcoming and friendly..The location was very good.
hot water setting on shower wasn't working ..Was the only real thing that let it down..
Great location

Didn't have breakfast, but the location was excellent .
Couldn't get WiFi and the radiator in the room wasn't working It was really cold , after all it was Storm Dave when we were away.
Great location.
No WiFi up in the loft rooms
Everything about the hotel was excellent, Stuart and Carol were Amazing, nothing was to much trouble and the breakfast was Lovely. It's close to everything around just a few minutes walk. Will be booking for next year 2026.
Their was nothing not to like... Excellent
Nice place but lacked some items
Some toiletries
Cleanliness friendly owners
Room was small for 3 people felt very claustrophobic
Friendly welcome .with a smile.
Comfortable bed .but the room was to small to have two single beds. Television too high up on ceiling. Only one plug socket. And only one little window that opened.
Cleaning excellent
Struttura accogliente e molto pulita, con tutto il necessario. A 10 minuti dalla stazione e 5 minuti dalla Blackpool Tower. Proprietaria molto cortese.
Small clean and enough for us 2

Nothing
Friendly owners, great breakfast
Bathrooms a bit small but fab otherwise
Lovely hotel. Great hosts. Nothing too much trouble.
Location
Room awful , staff not professional , bar never open , noisy due to owners family visiting so they took priority over guests , room far too small for a family room , room smelt damp , when heater on it smelt bad as it was heating up shelf above it so couldn't leave on as no ventilation because the only window was too high to open , no fire escape window etc even though at top of property ?! Shower more like a dripping tap and tiny space , couldn't sit on toilet and shut door as the toilet room so small ( only have 30inch legs too ! ) would not recommend unless you literally are there for 1 night on a hen or stag which they don't accept .
Location fantastic basic but clean rooms Breakfast extra charge but was lovely Staff friendly and welcoming
Lovely staff and great location been staying here for years
Spotlessly clean. Breakfast very very good.
Room was a bit small but was told that on arrival. But very clean and all we needed for our stay
Lovely friendly couple, very clean, close to centre.
N/A
Had a lovely 2 night stay in this hotel. Very friendly welcoming hosts 10/10. Ensuite shower very clean. Excellent location. Just a 5 mins walk to the town centre and seafront. The fact that we were given a set of keys each was convenient too.
Bed was comfortable and clean but bedding needs updating. We stayed in Room 2 which was quite small for 2 adults. Bed against the wall which makes it difficult to get in and out of.
Perfect location near the Tower, town centre and promenade.
First thing we were told on arrival that breakfast was not going to be available. Shower room was tiny and I would imagine anyone over 100Kg would struggle to fit in the shower or get on the toilet. Bar was never open.
This lovely little bed and breakfast has to be the most cleanest and good for value for money place I've stayed in, In blackpool. The staff are great and so helpful they couldn't do enough for me and my daughter. We would definitely stay here again no doubt. The rooms were lovely and clean, Comfy beds.

Great location near central pier and all the shops. Rooms were comfortable and very clean.
Our shower wasn’t very functional.
They were English. Very accommodating. Location was spot on. We will definitely go back.
Location. V-Helpful manager. Good shower. Plenty of sockets. Room was serviced every morning
Really poor small screen size in room & poor tv reception. Constant signal loss. No HD channels on a HD tv. No function for streaming services & we couldn’t connect to the WiFi. Also who ever serviced the room daily kept turning off all the plugs at the switch’s. We paid for the room so if want to have things switched on is our choice!!
Very friendly staff, good value for money, especially breakfast.
Could do with a small light in room
Friendly hosts. Room clean. Beds comfortable. Breakfast available at an extra cost. Postioned well for town centre.
Could have done with a hand towel. Shower not the best. Slow trickle
Fantastic place very clean and a lovely breakfast
Lovely stay hosts were lovely defo be back

L'emplacement de l'hôtel est idéal, à coté de la Tour près de la plage, au centre ville. Ma chambre, la douche et les toilettes privatives étaient très propres. Bravo pour ça! Après un ou deux jours, la dame est passé demander si j'avais besoin de changer mes serviettes, ce qui appréciable.
Ma chambre était au dernier étage, sous le toit, donc assez basse de plafond. Heureusement j'étais seul, mais ça aurait été serré si le deuxième lit avait été occupé. J'aurais bien aimé un petit savon dans la douche à mon arrivée, ça m'aurait éviter d'aller en acheter un.
Nothing at all
Small room for family book as family room small toilet and shower if your are in no space is like 80cm to 80cm max a one metre square nothing match with the Web site, towel smell like a burning smoke beds can feel the springs toilet door had a gap so using toilet no privacy from the room and no open window as well Celing very down no space in the room between the beds and entrance door in the kettle left over water water in the showers was dripping I can't attach other photos cause my kids are in I don't recommend the hotels at all to anybody I was so happy that I didn't book breakfast there it look dirty small dark dinner
It was well described
Very nice establishment with a homely feel. Hosts were very nice and accommodating. We were made to feel welcome and enjoyed our stay.
