OK, so it's been a while since I've stayed in a traditional B&B / Guest House so I'm comparing, unfairly maybe with hotels. That said, I was pleasantly surprised with the facilities, a bar & lounge area, pool table, dart board, comfortable and spacious seating area. (but no ginger ale for my whiskey!)
The owners Donna & Chris were friendly & welcoming, there on arrival & departure and easy to find if I needed anything.
Bottled (2l) water in the room was provided in the room on each day of my stay. The room & bathroom were spotlessly clean.
Cooked breakfast was provided in a separate dining area & although no choice in what you had, everything was there. Selection of cereals, condiments, jams, marmalades, bread & toast.
The location was great, quiet & safe, tucked back from the main promenade but on a street with shops, takeaways etc. Home Bargains store, a 2min walk away for anything forgotten. Blackpool FC was literally a 6-7 minute walk away (my main reason for visiting Blackpool on this occasion)
Transport links were great, 15 mins walk from Blackpool South station, there is a bus service, no. 11 on the same street providing a 30min service into town & Lytham. The tram stop (Manchester Square) is 5min walk away
My only criticism was the numerous notices displaying the rules & do's & don'ts and the paperwork to be completed on arrival, providing my next of kin! But these did not stop me doing what I wanted or needed to do & having a very pleasant stay. Thank you
