“Absolutely perfect! A real home from home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 October 2011

Myself and my best friend went for a girlie weekend away. This was an idea place to stay as we felt safe and well cared for. It was only a 15 minute walk to central Blackpool (pier etc) but you could have got bus/tram/taxi. You are given your own keys and a code so you can come and go as you please.

It is located just off the main road so quiet but easily accessible. The surrounding streets are free to park on, saving a fortune on pay and display charges.

The owners gave us vouchers for local attractions, the breakfast was superb, plentiful and cooked just to your own preferences. There is a small bar (which we didn't use but prices were very good).

Room was small but no problem (who goes on holiday to sit in a bedroom??), beds extremely comfortable and the room clean and lovely and warm! Ours was the twin room so in the attic which meant we just about had a snippet of sea view :) Free tea/coffee making facilities in room and toiletries in bathroom.

*Note* The tap water is not drinking water. They provide a small bottle of water for teeth cleaning etc so I would recommend taking more if you wish to drink it.

“Welcoming, friendly and good value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 August 2011

Overnight stay, welcomed on arrival, rooms (1 double, 1 single) spacious and clean. Great breakfast. With friends in the area it's good to know that this is a place we can confidently return to and be well provided for, nothing was too much trouble.

“A warm, caring & friendly place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 June 2011

I stayed with Margaret and Peter for nearly five weeks and my husband stayed for a couple of days settling me in. Margaret and Peter took care of me and made my stay very comfortable, I never felt away from home. They went the extra mile when I needed help. Certainly will stay with them again and will bring my family too!!
