Positive Reviews
positive:
Very close to main attractions
This bed and breakfast is in a great location. Is set back just off the main promenade, meaning you do not get all the external noise from Blackpool's nightlife that could disturb you through the night, while it is also very close to the Pleasure Beach amusement park too. Other attractions such as Blackpool Tower are only a short walk away.
positive:
Free car parking
Parking your car in Blackpool can be a nightmare, especially during peak season. Thankfully, guests at this bed and breakfast do not have that problem as they have plenty of free parking available.
positive:
Very friendly owners and staff
Without fail all reviews of this establishment have nothing but nice words to say about the owners and staff. The owners are continually referred to by name, such is the impression they make on guests who say that the owners are warm, friendly and cannot do enough to make sure their visitors are comfortable.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Rooms are on the compact side
All rooms are described as being quite small, so you might feel a bit squeezed in especially if you are part of a larger party. However, on the plus side rooms are described as very clean and tidy, with perfectly adequate facilities.
negative:
Can be a bit noisy on an evening
There have been some reports of their being lots of noise
coming from the bar evening late into the evening. This has disturbed some
families and affected the sleep of younger children.
negative:
Wi-Fi is touch and go
It is not a massive issue, but the Wi-Fi is said to be a bit hit and miss. If using the internet while you are away is important to you, this is something to bear in mind.
