No patking

When booking, I needed a hotel with patking but the hotel only had on street parking, and when we arrived there, there were no spaces available. The rooms themselves were clean but the showers are very difficult as the unit is over 6ft up on the wall, I am 5'1 and really strluggled to reach. Our hosts, Petra and Linda were lovely and overall, the stay was comfortable.

Comfortable amazing value accommodation.

My trip was to visit family and after looking at all the reviews I decided with this option. I was so happy with my stay from start to finish. Wonderful comfortable and relaxing accommodation with very attentive customer service from the owners. The breakfast was really nice and just the right amount to start the day off.

Family room with bunk beds and a double was great. Hotel very traditional as is the style but all really well kept. Owners very friendly and helpful. Can’t comment on breakfast as we left too early for it, I suppose 9am is fairly typical for a B&B style property but for us it was too late to wait… it’s about a 15-20 min walk to centre of the prom or 2 stops on the tram - overall a very good one night stay.

Overnight stay after football match

We were welcomed by two lovely ladies who greeted us and told us where our room was.It was clean and modern with en suite shower.We were going to watch Sunderland at Blackpool i asked which bus to get to the ground they said they could ring me a taxi which i agreed.We went to see the legends they 80s tribute singers at central pier on the nightime which was excellent, last 4 hours. Next day we had our breakfasts we had orange juice then cereal then cooked breakfast which was delicious. I would advice parking to the right of Gynway. We will definitely be back .
