“This family-run B&B places guests squarely in the heart of Blackpool, mere steps from the Winter Gardens and a short walk to the piers. I'm especially struck by the emphasis on comfortable, family-friendly stays, from the well-equipped rooms to the full English breakfast. It seems like an excellent base for exploring all the area has to offer.”

the room was clean and adequately maintained .
the bar downstairs was not staffed at any point. this forced me to seek drinks elsewhere. i was also not informed breakfast was not included in my room rate (a detail i found rather important). the host handed me the keys with no tour of the premises, which i found lacking.
