The welcome on arrival was friendly and our room was small but clean and confortable. Parking was on the street in front of the hotel but unrestricted and free. Our family room had a bunk bed and a double bed with a small en-suite shower room, tea and coffee making facilities were provided. Storage in the room was rather limited, fine for our weekend bag but probably a bit difficult if you had a couple of suitcases for a longer stop. Downstairs there was a large lounge with bar and gaes for the kids to play and another room where breakfast was served.

Breakfast was superb, cereals and fruit juice to start and then a freshly cooked sausage, double bacon, fried bread, grilled tomato and fried egg and toast plus a self-service buffet with black pudding, mushrooms, beans and scrambled eggs. Service was friendly and prompt.

There was some noise outside until late on Friday night from the pub up the road (it was very warm and so we had the windows open which didn't help), on the Saturday the noise finsihed about 11:00pm. The only other negative was the saniflow toilet which made nightime loo visits rather noisy.

The hotel is situated well out of the hustle and bustle of Blackpool itself (a positive) and quite a walk along the front to the north pier (took us about 45 mins with kids), but there is a tram stop right at the end of the road and for £9 you could get a family day pass for all buses and trams. There is a mini-market just along the road, cheaper for drinks, sandwiches and snacks than shopping in town.

All in all I would recommend this hotel to families on short breaks and would happily re-book if going to Blackpool again.
