“Great location for the Winter Gardens, wonderful hosts”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 April 2012

My husband and I spent 2 nights with Sue and Colin recently when we went to the Winter Gardens for a dance competition. I'd recommend the Laurels for 3 main reasons. First and foremost, if like us you are in Blackpool mostly for an event at the Winter Gardens, this B&B's location is perfect - smack in the town centre,... More

“Look no further”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 April 2012

Just returned from 2 nights at The laurels. This is our 12th time here and we would not go anywhere else. Colin and Sue treat us like family. We have stayed in most of the rooms and they are all of the same excellent standard. The breakfast is second to none. We will be going back later in the year. More
