Guest Reviews
Great location, very family oriented, Bernie and Andy were fabulous hosts, nothing was too much trouble, very clean and beautifully decorated, delicious breakfast, I highly recommend staying here, 10/10 👏👏👏
Andy and Bernie are exceptional hosts and couldn't do enough for you. They took time to sit and engage with all of their guests and were an absolute delight, it actually made me reluctant to go out on an evening because it was just such a nice place to be.
Very well maintained and modern , room was perfect , beds were comfy everything was perfect
We had an amazing weekend and from the moment we arrived we were treated like family. Bernie and Andy are outstanding hosts who went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and Bernie’s tips on the attractions were so helpful. Our family room was spotless and the wee added welcome baskets was a lovely touch. The room decor was beautiful and has a cozy homely feel and we all had a great sleep. There was plenty of choice for breakfast and the girls loved the pancakes and Nutella and was the highlight of their day. The hotel is in a great location with a tram stop at the end of the road so it’s easy to get about. The hotel really is a wee gem and I would highly recommend to anyone. Thanks so much for the great hospitality we will definitely be back soon.
Friendly owners nothing too much trouble

Everything. The rooms were very nice and clean( like rest of hotel). Breakfast and snacks were good. We were made to feel very welcome Bernie and Andy couldn’t do enough for us. Even went as far as to decorate a wee bit of the dining area as a surprise for my granddaughters 8th birthday when she came down for breakfast. Ps Bernie is a good tour guide for Blackpool with a lot of good advice.

Amazing from booking to saying our emotional goodbyes .We have been going to blackpool as a family for around 10yrs staying at many b&bs we arrived sunday and left today and i genuinely can say we have found our forever blackpool hotel! Bernie & Andy couldn't have made us feel any more welcomed, the guests that were already there you can see why they return year in year out. The full place was spotless and had everything you could imagine. Great bar & snack selection, bar food on offer, room hairdryer & toiletries. topping it off with the best shower i've had in blackpool all these years!!
Lovely beds Quiet area Lovely owners
Homely friendly hotel. The standard of the hotel rooms were excellent and very clean. Brilliant for family breaks or couples. Andy and Bernie were so friendly, accommodating and helped keep the kids entertained. Breakfast was fresh and cooked to your liking, with various options available and nothing was too much for them. The hotel itself is very central and walking distance of all the local attractions and shopping.
Amazing hosts at this beautiful modern hotel located in the middle of the blackpool beach. Extremely friendly and went above and beyond for us
