Booked for 3 nights over May weekend. Were welcomed by the owners & bags taken up to our room - double deluxe on 1st floor (wanted twin but none left in Blackpool at a reasonable price). Room was bright & spacious with good cupboard space and well stocked hospitality tray. Found it a bit awkward there was no hand basin... More

Stayed 2 nights at last minute. Made more than welcome. Just off the Prom, with a wee walk into the atmosphere. Clean & friendly with a breakfast to die for. Will return.

I've stayed in Blackpool a few times, and have always been disappointed by the standards of the B&B. Not this time. Warm, clean, friendly atmosphere, excellent breakfast, and a welcoming drop of wine in your room. Value for money, and even brightened up a wet weekend in January. The benchmark for Blackpool guest-houses.

We decided to visit Blackpool on the spur of the moment to visit the illuminations. We chose Golden Sands from the good reviews on Trip Advisor and we were not disappointed. The guest house is a short walk from the railway station and in a quiet area just off the main promenade - very handy for trams to the Pleasure... More

We stayed here for 6 nights and it was a lovely place to stay. Short walk to the tower and far enough away for it too be nice and quiet. Breakfast was just enough as I'm not a breakfast person and was offered more if we wanted. Will happily go back next time we visit.

Stayed at Golden Sands Guest House for 3 nights (Friday to Monday). Rooms and dinning area very clean and tidy. Good breakfast choice and willing to cook what you wanted without any trouble. Towels changed daily, bed made and room tidied every day. Bed was slightly uncomfortable but not too bad because I think we try and compare it to... More

My partner and I had decided to spend the weekend in Blackpool at the Golden Sands from the recomendations found on trip advisor. We were greeted eventually after pressing the bell a few minutes beforehand by the owner, who failed to smile and generally seemed to lack enthusiasm for her job. We were shown straight to our room (past the... More

I feel a little bit mean writing this review, as the Landlady was friendly and helpful, (putting cereal and orange juice in our room, when we had a very early start to leave and breakfast wasnt till 8.30,) breakfast was really quite good, except for cheap sausages, but as i`m not a full english person, i asked for scrambled egg...

We stayed here whilst my daughter was competing at the tower, rooms were exceptionaly clean and tidy and very well presented to high standard. Breakfast was nice full english as well as toast and cereals on offer. Staff were very friendly and called us taxis when we needed them.
