Close proximity to Blackpool's main attractions, including The Blackpool Tower and North Pier.

Traditional English breakfast cooked fresh daily.

En-suite rooms with complimentary toiletries and tea/coffee facilities.

Some double rooms cannot accommodate children.

No spa or pool facilities on-site.

“This is the kind of place where hosts remember your name, and the friendly atmosphere extends to other guests-it feels like a little family. Breakfast is a high point, especially with the option of haggis. Situated in a quieter area, it's still an easy trip to the main attractions via a pleasant walk or a short tram ride.”
