Needed hotel for 2 nights as attending a function in Blackpool. Good location, close enough to town but far enough away too from the noise. Clean, friendly, comfortable bed, nice pool and lovely breakfast. We would definitely return.

I booked a last minute night away to Blackpool with my 6 year old. The pool lured us to this hotel, and it was super. SO warm and my daughter loved it - we went swimming 3 times in 24 hours! It was so handy for the beach - overlooking the sea. The room was clean, the bed was comfy... More

Thank you for your comments. If the guest would have mentioned the mattress to myself I could have either changed their room or simply changed their mattress, everybody prefers different types and have checked the room in question and found that the mattress is just a very soft one, We feel the service; facilities and standard of accommodation we provide...

Just came back from spending two nights in this hotel and was very pleased. We were by the lift and found that it was still quiet. The only noise we had was from the street.
