We stayed for 4 nights as soon as you walk in through the front door you just knew the place was going to be clean and comfortable the rooms were just what we needed for our stay as a family it was within walking distance of town. If you want a good cooked breakfast go to the promenade cafe at the end of the road will be going back next year

Good location, very close to the beach. Room is newly done up so is very nice and clean. The included continental breakfast is good, toast, Cereal, Cereal bars, small muffins, orange juice etc. The only complaint I have is the WiFi is not great. Perhaps it's because I'm staying on the top floor. I do realise that it depends on how many people are using WiFi at the same time. Overall the stay so far have been great and I would recommend it to family and friends.

This was my second time staying here and couldn’t recommend it more! It’s spotless inside and Adam has been so welcoming both times. Teas / coffees downstairs whenever you like and was very quiet both times and even upgraded my room which was so nice of him. Great location as only 10 mins walk from north station and close to trams and buses. I’ll be back again!

Basic guest house but for a few days stay it does the job just fine. Rooms (and whole hotel) are clean and tidy. No breakfast or food offering but plenty of places nearby and free tea/coffee available until 10.30. Couple of small chargeable car parks available very close by and location is quite handy for the promenade and station.

Right in the heart of the gay district this little B&B is lovely. Our room was just what we needed, clean and tidy and with everything we needed. Breakfast is continental and out of packets which is ok if you just want a light breakfast. Would recommend this little place to anyone visiting Blackpool.

Just arrived back from an excellent stay. Very clean, I was in room number 5 which was a nice size. The shower was powerful and worked properly. The continental breakfast had a great choice and was to a high standard. Will definitely stay again.

An ideal place to stay for a weekend away! Parking close by & only a short walk to pubs, food establishments & the Golden Mile.
