Worth weighing
4 to weigh- On-street parking only — Parking is free but not designated – a concern for guests who prefer off-street or secured parking.
- Check-in window is limited — Arrivals are only accepted between 14:00 and 22:00, which may not suit very late travel plans.
- Compact room sizes — The Small Double Room is exactly that – small – and even larger rooms may feel snug for some guests, given the B&B setting.
- No pets allowed — This property does not accommodate pets, so those travelling with animals will need to look elsewhere in the area.

8.9Verified guest“We stayed for a week to explore the area and it was great. The owners made us feel at home from the start, and breakfasts were fresh, delicious, and varied. Our room was cosy with a lovely view of the Tower, and the location was perfect – plus they gave us tips and discount vouchers.”
8.9Verified guest“Breakfast had a good selection, with tasty cereal and toast. The family room was immaculate, and the location was brilliant for getting the tram. I also ate at Ciao Ciao a few times, which was within walking distance.”
8.9Verified guest“A fabulous hotel and an excellent base for Blackpool. The location was marvellous, not far from St Mark's Church and close to the town centre and North Pier.”
8.9Verified guest“I was anxious about parking since it's street parking only, but at least it was free. The experience overall wasn't as good as I'd hoped, which was a shame.”
8.9Verified guest“The room was clean and cosy, with a travel cot provided and nice touches like biscuits and bottled water. The bar and garden were relaxing, and we enjoyed nearby spots like Blackpool Zoo and Central Pier. Breakfast was a treat with excellent service and fresh food.”
8.9Verified guest“We had a good stay with our three-year-old. The traditional B&B feel and peaceful location suited us perfectly. The hosts were friendly and gave great advice on local attractions. Breakfast was tasty and accommodating for kids, and we appreciated the garden and the easy access to the Tower and Zoo. We'll definitely be back.”
