My wife and I stayed at The Avenue for four nights with our two boys and it was truly Excellent! I am a head chef and one of my big pet hates is lack of cleanliness and for once on a hotel stay I was totally happy!! The cleanliness of the whole hotel is second to none and the friendly service of the landlady April is equally as refreshing.

We enjoyed a well prepared full english breakfast and April was very helpfull in accomodating the varied diets of my two fussy boys!

All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recomend it to any one.

“Great value and hospitality”

Myself and my wife stayed at the Avenue recently and were very impressed with the general standard. April made us most welcome and the hotel was spotless. It was nice to see that there were no noisy male or female parties present which certainly can't be said for a few other places we visited last year.
We had a superior double room which surpassed all our expectations even with the inclusion of an electronic safe. When you consider that we could park our car on the hotel forecourt we will definately be returning to the Avenue.

My wife and I stayed at the avenue for 3 nights at the New Year and we had a great time. The hotel was spotless and the breakfasts were excellent with April always looking after us. My wife is not fond of fry ups but it was no problem as April offered scrambled, poached or boiled eggs on toast in addition to the usual cereals and fruit juices on offer. We had a lovely room and a car parking space at the hotel which was very welcome. We will definately stay at the Avenue again any time we are in Blackpool, so thank you April and Kent and say hello to Jake for us!!

1/3 found this review helpful

On arrival it was very clear to notice how very clean and tidy this hotel was and this was from the front door through to our room on the top floor. Breakfast was very good and our host April was only to pleased to do something different for our fussy son. The fact that the avenue only took couples and families was an excellent bonus with parking available as well you cant go wrong. The next time we stay in Blackpool the avenue will be the first place we try without doubt.

“Warm Friendly Family Hotel the place to stay in Blackpool”

The Avenue

Aug 12, 2006
1/3 found this review helpful

My hubby and I and our 5 year old son stayed at this hotel 31st July until the 4th August
What a lovely friendly family hotel the room was nicely decorated and spotlessly clean with the tea/coffee topped up regulary, The breakfast was amazing with so much choice good portions and well presented
One of the many things we liked about this hotel was the fact that the bar closed at 11pm which ment we could get our son off too bed without any noise as this hotel caters for couples and families we didnt want to stay at a place that had gangs of girls or lads coming in drunk.
Our landlady April was so helpful and the staff even took a shine to our son cutting his toast into solders for him!!
A 5 star hotel that we recommend to any family to stay out not your usual low rate B&B but a well ran hotel
we have booked again for later in the year for the lights and cant wait
Thanks April & Kent for a wonderful time see you all in October
