hi im thinking of taking my family aged from 6 months to 12years to these flats in august, they are situated near the pleasure beach but im worried that it may be over run with teenagers and stag and hen party guests as its located on the south shore, has anyone stayed here before or know if these flats are suitable for a young family? thanks for any advice you can give me.

Think you may find that although the Pleasure Beach may be busy, it is the evening and night when the Hen & Stag groups start getting loud and fill the Town Centre rather than the south end.

either north or south are quieter than central. I have friends with a hotel on that road and they love the tranquilty! Quiet, but not so quiet to be boring.

Not so good as it used to be. Entertainment now rubbish and kids left to run wild.Our family used to love it. Not now, standards have definitely slipped.

When you have been traveling the globe for getting on for 50 years on business and for pleasure, one remaining dream must be for a hotel to bring together all the best features.

When you approach a hotel reception desk, you can get a good impression of what the rest of the hotel will be like. A smiling and friendly staff usually indicates that they are confident about what they offer and do not spend a good proportion of their day taking flak from the residents.

At The Grand Hotel Holiday Flats, the only smiling face was the receptionist. The concierge or porter was abusive ignorant and very unhelpful presumably he only works nights i must presume he has to sleep the alcohol off during the daytime.
