Excellent position with a great sea view from our room, we found the hotel very clean and the hotel had a friendly atmosphere with very welcoming owners who go out of there way to find information out for you. Breakfast was great, cooked breakfast had everything and the tea/coffee and toast kept flowing. Couldn't fault this hotel at all and will be returning on our next visit to Blackpool.

before booking we had looked at many b & b's and this is the 1 that was available & that came off looking best.. we were a bit wary as reviews said rooms were very compact (not a lie) rooms r tiny but just what you need if you are looking for a cheap place to stay ..
we asked for sea view room when booking & where given 1 no problem which was a very nice view onto beach & sea.
Breakfast was good &plenty of it, rooms were clean & towels changed for us too.
Only things was a bit put off by was the bathroom is tiny, shower is smallest ever, my partner is 6"1 tall and he struggled a bit to move in shower. Also on sight parking would not reccomend..i had to park my car right up to front of b&b ,ther was no room at either side & my car has now got some lovely scratches down its left side :@ not to mention it was covered in bird @@@@ all over my window by time we were leaving ..apart from parking decent enough b&b for a wknd get away. .

We have just returned from a stay at the Sandford Hotel there are good and not so good points regarding this particular Hotel.
Good - The hotel is ideally situated close to South Pier, Central Pier and a short walk to the town center, and it was very nice to have a sea view room. The welcome was good and the hosts make sure that you are made to feel very welcome, they are warm and friendly however there were several points which we feel could make anyone's stay even better..............
The room, described as a double, and yes there was a sea view and yes it did have a ceiling fan, but there are no accessible sockets to plug anything like a hairdryer , unless you climb under the table , this room looks to be more like a single no bedside table, just a mantle piece over the bed,. the wardrobe was suited to a single person and sitting at the desk would be ok for a small person. On the plus points the room was very clean. If you have trouble sleeping with the heat, you may want to remove the plastic coated mattress protector or sleep with the fan on all night.
Bathroom....... There is no where to put your toiletries in the bathroom or in the shower itself or to plug anything into, the toilet seat does not stay up and the extractor fan does not work, the plus to this is that there are plenty of clean towels provided each day.
Breakfast................. ~The good points were that the tea and coffee was in plentiful supply as was the toast, however, the mornings where there were a lot of guest staying, and being informed that the breakfast was served between 8.30 and 9.30 we were surprised to see that there was not adequate seating for the guests when they came down and had to wait to be summons from the lounge, it would have been nice to have had a choice of fruit juices and yoghurt and fruit would have been welcomed, maybe it would have been nice to have a menu on the table and for a choice to be offered, I suspect that if you ask then you could have a change from the cooked breakfast but this was not made obvious.
On the whole this is a clean hotel with a good location, but I would like to suggest that the owners would like to spend a night in the rooms themselves and then judge if this is providing what the guests would like, the family room had some more of the basic facilities which I would suggest should be available in the double rooms.
We were also surprised to see that on both nights when we returned to the hotel, at 10.30 and 11pm respectively that the bar was shut, whilst this could have been because there were no guest staying it was still disappointing to see.
On a final note, all other hotels we have stayed at have stated that check out would be at 11 it seemed a little early to have a check out at 10 especially if you were still waiting to be seated for breakfast at 9.15.
As pointed out Blackpool has approx 1300 places to stay and on this basis I think that we would be trying out some of the others before returning to this one
