Thank you for staying with us, we hope to see you again

Great B&B. Clean, tidy and welcoming. Great location. Would happily stay again.

A gem of a hotel that has got it all right. Not only is it a well-kept establishment in a decent part of town, it is extremely reasonably priced and did a number of things to stand out in its field:- A cooked breakfast with cereal, yogurt, fruit etc to top it up as much as you like.- Excellent hosting throughout- Actual acknowledgement of our anniversary, with a card and massive bar of chocolate!- Freshly baked cookies to which guests could help themselves, free of chargeYes you could stay closer to town, but we enjoyed the walk, about 45 minutes each way, every day of the three that we stayed there. If you don't like to walk or have mobility issues, you're right next to a tram station that will take you right into town; the ticket cost will no doubt be negligible compared to the amount saved by staying in the town centre itself, which is full of raucous humans and seagulls anyway!

Had a wonderful 3 night stay.Breakfast fantastic fresh and plenty to choose from.Room clean and comfortable lovely sea view.Location although slightly away from main area there is a tram stop outside or about an hours walk to tower all along sea front so beautiful walk. We did find hot water for a shower a bit hit or miss and fresh towels would of been nice so maybe a sign in the bathroom saying hang towels for not replacing or leave on floor for fresh? Plenty of tea and coffee in room.And amazing staff.

Response

Thank you for your review, we are pleased you enjoyed your stay and we will take your comments on board, thank you. Hope to see you again.

What a brilliant hotel the hosts were brilliant warm clean homely breakfast was gorgeous if you are visiting Blackpool it's worth travelling a little bit outside to Bispham to this great guest house thank you

Response

We have just had a lovely 3 night stay here. It is run by a very friendly couple that made us very welcome. A fantastic well organised breakfast. Great location… We will definitely return.

Response

Thank you for a lovely review.We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again.

Hotel 242 is a perfect place to stay. Sharon and Martyn are wonderful hosts and go out of their way to ensure the stay is a good one. The hotel is spotlessly clean with beautiful white towel and crisp white bedding. The breakfast is delicious and there is plenty to chose from.The location is perfect for best of both worlds. The busy Blackpool centre is only a few tram stops away and the more peaceful area is brispham with much nicer restaurants and shops.I’d would highly recommend this little gem of a hotel. I stayed with my husband and 11 year old daughter. The family room was brilliant.Genuinely this is a fabulous hotel run by a wonderful couple

Response

Thank you for staying with us again. It was lovely to see you. So pleased you enjoyed your weekend.See you again soon.

Last minute booking for trip to Blackpool from Glasgow with our adult son for holiday weekend. What a gem couldn't ask for anything more quiet location easy access into main area by 10 min tram ride. Accomodation was first class immaculate couldn't fault at all. Good quality bedding great nights sleep and the breakfast was outstanding fresh quality ingredients cooked to perfection forget ur 4 in a bed this is the jewel in the crown fantastic hosts we'll definitely be back and will be recommending to friends and family 👍

We stayed in room 3 it was clean comfortable and had lots of room

Response

Thank you for staying with us. Hope to see you again.

Hotel 242 is a lovely little place where we have been staying for a number of years.It has easy access to the trams, (the nearest stop is just across the road).There are a variety of interesting places to eat and drink just around the corner - Italian food, Indian food, Pizzeria, Chip shops, bars and pubs.A walk into Blackpool which we do each day takes around half/three quarters of an hour and is a lovely stroll into the town.The hotel is clean and comfortable with new beds and mattresses. The breakfast is great, you can have toast, cereals, yoghurts, pancakes, fruit and a full cooked breakfast, tea and/or coffee. Great value!The only thing I would say is that the teabags/milk/coffee weren't refreshed on our second day but that didn't matter much to us but may to some people. I am sure that if we had asked they would have given some to us.All in all it is a really nice place to stay and the new hosts are very friendly and willing to help and assist where they can.

Response

Thank you for staying. I do apologise that your room was missed on the top up rounds on your second day. Hope to see you again another time.

Me and my partner stayed here for 2 nights in the double room with sea view,the hotel was lovely,we were made to feel very welcome by the owner and the staff were great.The room and en suite were clean and had all the essentials,tea,coffee etc..the beds were really comfortable and the breakfast was very good.The tram stop is just across the road and there are some lovely places to eat just around the corner. We would definitely come back we had a lovely stay 😊

Had a great stay at Hotel 242, clean and friendly with great hosts. Hotel in great location just outside Blackpool with good access to public transport along the Fylde coast. We had the benefit of a great sea view and despite grim weather forecast it was beautiful. Second time here and will not be the last

Thank you for your kind review. Hope to see you again.

Generally couldn't fault the place. Breakfast was 10/10, the service from the owners was 10/10 and the hotel itself was really nice and modern. The room size was great for our little family and had everything we needed. Rooms were clean and fresh. There are nice little touches such as a tray of fresh baked goods each day. Overall a great stay and will definitely be coming back and also recommending to friends and family.

Thank you for your lovely review. Pleased you had a great time. Hope to see you again soon.

We had the great fortune to stay for 2 nights at Hotel 242. Sharon is simply the kindest person and the best hostess imaginable. The hotel is lovely: impeccably clean, lovely rooms and well located with a good hearty breakfast to start the day. Sharon sets the gold standard for hoteliers in the area. Thank you so much.

Response

Thank you so much for your kind words. Pleased we could make your stay with us a comfortable one. Hope to see you again.

Catered for all our needs.Excellent breakfast and conveniently situated, right outside the tram stop.Great value for money

Response

Thanks for a great review. Pleased you enjoyed the weekend. Hope to see you again.

The welcome was warm,informative and genuine,(not happy clappy).Hotel in an excellent position. Transport easily accessible (tram or bus) to Blackpool town centre or northwards to Cleveleys and Fleetwood. My room with a sea view was excellent. The new windows kept the outside elements outside and provided a great view.Noise was kept to a minimum allowing for a great sleep. Breakfast was modest but just right. I understand 'general' toilet facilities downstairs will be installed. Parking is limited but easily accessible.A perfect 'get away' so you can choose the type of holiday you want - quite, relaxing, regenerating or venture out to a louder,traditional Blackpool holiday.

Response

Thank you for reviewing your stay. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay and look forward to you visiting again.

The room was a little on the small side but nothing can be really done about that, however it was immaculately clean.The owners were very charming and helpful.We were a little outside Blackpool than we anticiptated but a tram stop was only a few minutes away.Many ThanksElizabeth

Response

Thank you for your review. Have a great week.

We enjoyed our stay at Hotel 242. Everything was great.

Fantastic stay couldn't ask for better. Friendly welcoming atmosphere,clean tidy and well equipped.The food was just perfect.Definitely a job well done and would stay again .

Response

Thank you. Have a lovely birthday!

Our stay here at 242 was fantastic!On our arrival we were greeted and information waspassed on that was needed for the hotel, such as breakfast times, WiFi code etc. We were a family of 6in 2 rooms and our children were offered freshly madecookies and cold lemon water. Which after a long journey was lovely!Our rooms were basic as in decor but that was no problem for us as the rooms were big, our beds were really comfy and everywhere was clean. Would it be nice to have new decor? Maybe yes to follow on from the downstairs interior and new floors but it certainly didn’t effect our stay.We had breakfast included and as I say with being a family of 6 nothing was too much, our children would have different orders for the “fry up” breakfast and that was no problem, plenty of other options also, cereals, yogurt and fruit.The location was perfect, yes far down the prom but there was no issue as could use tram and it meant we didn’t hear any noise late at night.We chose to stay out all day keeping the children entertained so we’d head back around 8. Able to use the communal area watching tv and enjoy a takeaway with access to plates and cutlery which was perfect.And lastly the efforts towards are children were great, having chats with them and interacting.In talking to the owners it was said they’ve not had the hotel long, outside improvements had been made of winter such as new windows. And more was to follow!We are looking forward to visiting again in winter ready for seeing the lights, Thankyou so much ❤️

Hotel was great. The Staff/Owners are nice and friendly and also very welcoming who can't do enough for their guests to make make their as enjoyable as possible. Breakfast was Very good. Food was hot and tasty and a good variety of different options for your breakfast. Rooms very pleasant,clean and tidy and excellent value for money. Will definitely stay at this Hotel again and I would definitely recommend this Hotel to others.

This is the 4th time we have stayed here. There was no doubt coming to Blackpool where we would stay this year especially as a single parent this time. Hotel is clean and decorated well. Love that it is located on the sea front with the convenience of shops and places to eat around the corner, just across the road from a play area and the tram stop. Great way to explore Blackpool whilst staying where it is quieter, away from the hustle and bustle, and nightlife of Blackpool. Great value for money. Owners were lovely as always. Next trip to Blackpool we will be staying here again.

Response

So pleased you enjoyed your stay. As new owners, this is lovely to see. Come back and visit us again.

Hotel 242 is a delightful place to stay. The owners were great host, very friendly and welcoming. A very comfortable hotel and delicious breakfast. Situated in walking distance of the town centre, piers and tower. Also well situated for the bus or tram services. Would definitely recommend and stay again

Response

Thank you Steve, so pleased you had a great holiday.

The last time we stayed here I was pregnant with my little girl and we wanted to stay somewhere a little quieter and it was brilliant. We came again this year and alison was so accommodating,piper absolutely loved her and the team, breakfast was amazing as usual and everything was clean and tidy. We will definitely be staying again next year.

We had a beautiful stay at hotel242. The staff were professional and met all our needs. A special thank you to Alison for making our stay possible after booking.com cancelled our booking. Next time book directly with the hotel to save money. We will definitely come back when we visit Blackpool in the future.

Had a weekend stay at the Hotel 242, what can I say, excellent value, clean room, attentive staff, great breakfast and the best view of a sunset ever. Alison and the team very helpful, will certainly be booking a return stay soon

There were 5 adults and 2 children in our group, in two rooms, a family room and a triple room. Both rooms were well furnished, comfortable and homely. Well decorated and homely, very happy! The service was second to none, the hostess remembered our coffee/tea order from day one onward and couldn't do enough for us. Amazing service and hotel, will be staying again!

We had a lovely stay the hostess was very helpful with any enquiry we had the hotel was in a perfect location for us and the food was excellent We had a great time

Hotel was wonderfully managed Alison was welcoming and friendly, breakfast chef was fab, even offered the children pancakes which wasn’t on the menu, the family room was lovely and clean, having a door between rooms was an added bonus, view was fantastic, tram every 12mins right outside would definitely recommend for a family who would like to enjoy black pool but stay in somewhere quieter

Nice hotel,made welcome on arrival, tidy basic room,beech across the road and handy for trams to Blackpool and Fleetwood, also good breakfast ,would use again, thanks to Allison and family

3 amigos went to Blackpool for the weekend. We didn't need a spa, a swimming pool or a ballroom nor did we need an a la carte menu and we definitely didn't want to pay through the nose to be able to walk to the tower in 5 minutes. We wanted free parking, we wanted a good breakfast, we wanted to be near the sea, we wanted to be able to walk to a pub in 5 minutes, walk to a take away in 5 minutes and walk to a tram stop in 5 minutes. We just needed a room we could all sleep in, with our own toilet and shower and a host who was warm and friendly. No, it's not the Ritz but it was cheap and cheerful just like us. We got everything we needed and had a great weekend too. Would stay again with friends but maybe not with the wife for our anniversary:)

Very clean.food was very good and the hosts couldn’t do enough for you will be staying here again and would recommend it.👍

Stayed a number of times and plan to return.Good value for money in a great location.

Excellent service, great breakfast. Ideal location for our requirements. Very accommodating staff, will definitely stay there again. Many thanks to all.

room was modern, with a seaview, comfy bed, bathroom is roomy,very refreshing shower. breakfast was delicious, owners are lovely. tram stop right outside and loads of amenities nearby. highly recommend

Very nice and helpful staff, rooms clean. We had good sleep as very quet. Good choice for breakfast and bar downstairs. Have cash with you. Good tram connection to town :)

We stay at this hotel at least once a year,Alison is really helpful and her Husband does a wonderful breakfast,wouldnt stay anywhere else,rooms are clean,tea making facilities and plenty of towels,comfy bed,hot showers what more could you want,def stay here ,if you havent all ready

Hotel 242 team was very helpful and friendly. We felt welcomed the moment we arrived. The breakfast was lovely. They really do get to know their guests, where they are from, what they are doing whilst visiting. Nothing was to much trouble. Room was clean and comfortable and big enough as a couple. Area is quiet and tram stop right outside. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Very nice and friendly, that's why we go as much as we can. Like leaving one home to another

The staff were so lovely and the hotel was very clean and tidyNice breakfast

Had an excellent relaxed and cosy stay.Our room was spacious with the added value of being able to see the sea and the illuminated trams late at night passing by.My grandchildren loved that they had their own room within the family room.Breakfast was lovely with a good selection.Everyone was very friendly and helpful.Very good location and easy to get a tram easily.We will be returning definitely.Thank you for a lovely stay

I have stayed here before and I keep coming back. Best price in Blackpool but for me it's the owners and the staff. Very friendly and a great location is another reason why I stay here.

We had a very comfortable stay and a lovely breakfast

Great three night stay with Alison and her lovely staff. Breakfast was amazing and set us up for the day. The only issue was the second single bed could have been bigger for a 6ft 15 year old.Clean cosy and great value for money.

Good place to stay and I will stay again too . Staff nice and helpful too and room is nice and clean too

We stayed 2 nights with you and it was a lovely stay would definetly recommend to others. Room was nice and clean, comfortable bed and nice sea view from room. Owner and staff were very nice and very friendly, thanks again for a lovely stay 👍

Staying at Hotel 242 is highly recommended the staff are very friendly and welcoming we have stayed here twice now and plan to go back, thank you again

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.The room was comfortable and the breakfast was very good.The owner and staff were very friendly and helpful.The promenade location made it easy to get into the centre by tram and do our own thing.We would definitely come again.

From the 1st call to book to booking out was lovely Alison is such a nice Lady. Will see you again soon

Had a lovely time there staff friendly hotel clean breakfast fantastic in all was perfect and definitely go back again this year

Our stay at Hotel242 was good, although I have to admit that the bed was really the most uncomfortable I've ever slept on! Worst 3 nights sleep ever. Also, I shouldn't have let my pride get in the way of admitting I have a disability then maybe we wouldn't of had a room on the top floor!The owners themselves were very welcoming and friendly. Breakfast was excellent, good variety and staff were attentive.

The hotel decor was beautiful and the location very peaceful. The staff were accommodating and friendly and ensured we had everything we needed. The staff were helpful in telling us about the tram and bus service where we were able to get a 24 hour ticket. Breakfast was very nice and staff offered us a range of products at breakfast. We will be staying again in the near future

Really enjoyed my stay here shame I had to leave early for work

Thank you for everything ,Everything was great except it was hot and windows very small , it needs to open the big door but it was close. I ll recommend the hotel except of that

We found the staff to be friendly and accommodating and appreciated the flexible arrival, late departure times and long breakfast duration. The room was clean, comfortable and suited our needs, with a double and single bed and ensuite shower room, with constant hot water. We found plenty of drawer space and a clothes hanging rail and room for our suitcases. There was a good choice for breakfast, including the children's menu.The price for our stay was within our budget and we were able to get a booking just 10 days in advance, for bed and breakfast. Although parking on the property was limited, we were found a space and also informed of some unrestricted residential spots close by.We made good use of the frequent trams, with a stop very near the hotel, along the promenade and our son enjoyed the playground opposite and the local amusement arcade. We also found an array of shops, cafes, restaurants and a major supermarket within easy walking distance from the hotel.We loved our little seaside stay, away from, but within easy access of the hustle and bustle of the town centre and piers and thewonderful weather made it all the more enjoyable! Thank you.

We had the family room which was spacious and clean.The breakfast was lovely and the staff friendly and helpful .We had a lovely time and can't wait to visit again!! ????

Very lovely stay,it was way above my expectation for the price paid. Very clean, hosts were great, breakfast had several options. Rooms were very spacious,great location as well.I will recommend a milliontimes.

Spent 3 days at hotel 242 was spotless no faults what so ever excellent breakfast parking bed was perfect host welcoming and helpful right opposite sea front this is a honest review will definitely be going back ty so much for a wonderful stay xx

Welcoming, friendly,lovely breakfast,Close to all you need in Blackpool,it is on the promenade but in a very peaceful location and historical village of Bispham.

Lovely short break in this gem of a bnb. The room was spacious and exceptionally clean far enough away from blackpool to be peaceful and close enough to the tram stop to be really convenient. Great breakfast.

Staff friendly welcoming room clean bedding clean food good I would stay again

Friendly and welcoming staff. Very helpful.Great breakfast both mornings.Fair price for what you get.They gave us a bottle of wine on departure which was thoughtful of them. Much appreciated

I highly recommend 242 Hotel. Nice atmosphere Alisonis a lovely women, helping with everything what you need ?. Breakfast delicious, very close to few restaurants and tram. Nice view from outside of the hotel ????. Definitely we willbe back ????

We had a great stay at this hotel. Right from arrival to the minute we left the owner and staff were really helpful and nice to us. Nothing was too much bother for them will definitely be back to stay here again.

Thanks Amy !! Fantastic review look forward to seeing you in September.regardsAlison & co

Very pleased with room, very clean

Owners and staff very friendly…room was clean and comfortable and the breakfast was fab! Will definitely go back!

Excellent very clean lovelybreakfastvery welcomingdefinitelystay again

Poor Wi-Fi have to use data. Hot water going cold every time we need to bath. Need to invest in furniture, no table to put things and drawers too old. Need to ask for juice for breakfast all the time as cups were like baby cups. When we ask for 5 toast as family of 5, we were given two. We were not comfortable asking for anything as you feel you bothering the lady. Theboy and man at the hotel were nice though but can't figure out the lady

We arrived early before booking in time, staff very polite and courteous allowed us earlyentry once room was cleaned. Room had everything required , comfy bed, shower ,hairdryer, TV, kettle, room very clean and fresh. Breakfast amazing and served to order, staff very polite and helpful. A great place to stay and Bispham tram stop just across the road. Woul definitely stay over again.

The owners were brilliant and friendly. Nothing was too much!Small double room didn't feel small.Great breakfast.Amazing views. A great place to stay ?????

Great hosts very friendly made us all feel welcome great breakfast. Stone throw from the beach. Tram Station across the road. Arcade across the road, takeaways and restaurants, local shop and sainsburys in the next street. Very quiet and great for the beach with just a handful of people on it, play park across the road aswel with swings for kids. Highly recommended. Quite far out from the centre which I was abit worried to start with but great in the end alot less walking than staying in the centre

Friendly and welcoming the room was clean and big, the bathroom was very modern and big.We had a lovely sea viewBreakfast was very tasty service was great

Gorgeous hotel and amazing staff could not do enough for yous. Made us feel right at home. Quite location and gorgeous views out one to the beachfront. As we was leaving my children asked if we could come back to this hotel as they loved it.

We stayed in the apartment. Very clean andand a central location. We will definitely stay again. Highly recommend staying at this apartment.

Beautiful clean hotel hosts are so friendly nothing is too much trouble for them breakfast is amazing so much to choose from location is perfect Beautiful sea view

Was a great place to stay.Easy to park car and jump on tram straight back to the town centre.Staff were very welcoming and helpfull.Very good value for money,can’t fault this place!!!!?

Really enjoyed my stay at hotel 242. Lovely and clean. Really good breakfast and the ladies that run at are very helpful and nice. Would definitely stay again.

We arrived in the evening and was met by the owner who was extremely welcoming. Our room was fab as they have sit the room into 2 seperate sleeping areas, giving us parents a little bit of privacy.Room was extremely clean and tidy. Plenty of space for clothing and a TV in each sleeping area.Breakfast was delicious and set us up for the day.It's right in front if the beach and a 5 minute tram ride to the centre. We had a lovely time and would definitely recommend and stay here again.

Warm welcomeSpotlessly clean and aiiryVery friendly helpful staffGreat sea view as promisedLovely fresh breakfast great choice and selectionNice quiet location near bisphamGood travel links tram busses etcPlenty of restraints takeaways and shops nearby but not too close also a Sainsbury’sLooking foreword to returningThankyou 242

Hi raf and Alison it was like coming home again, we both enjoyed the attention we received,weather perfect(new we was coming lol),food was again 2nd to non,room spot on as usual, hope we both see you all againfor Christmas and new year.love babs and Stephen xx,

Nice room clean with sea view comfy bed with nice bedding no noise at night slept well , Good breakfast with plenty of choice with covid had to stay at table no self service but waiter service good had everything we needed thank you very much good stay

Small clean hotel just right for a short break. Also good value for money.Family room was really good as there were two rooms and the double room was small but adequate for two.The bar was not open due to Covid but there was plenty of places around. It is well outside of Blackpool so need to be prepared for a walk or tram rides but there were nice restaurants just round the corner

Everything you want for a short stay very clean and fresh staff was lovely only downfall was too many guests at breakfast as it’s a little dining area time slots would suit better but it was lovely would definitely come and stay again

lovely clean rooms comfortable beds, staff cannot do enough for you. Breakfast is 2nd to none. quiet spot but close to loads of restaurants etc. Alison Raf and the staff, a big thak you from us.We wont stay anywhere else .

A well earned break to replace the one I missed in may

Nice and clean, friendly people and a nice breakfast, this was my second time staying

Good very friendly people. Only down side was we had top floor without a lift. This was not the owners fault though it was due to covid regulations. Maybe put things like this on for guests to know beforehand though. Breakfast was also really good. Comfy enough beds a room wasn't cramped either. Over all a pleasant stay.

excellent stay staff where friendly and helpful nothing was a issue. Room was excellent and great views.Breakfast was good and would definitely recommend the hotel to others.

booked this hotel at the last minute and went from previous reviews. We wasn't disappointed, lovely clean hotel. The room was really nice with a separate room in ours for the kids. Lovely shower!! Breakfast was fantastic. The host was very friendly and helpful. Hotel just out of the way of the noise of the centre. Would definitely stay here again.

Lovely welcoming staff. Very clean. Lovely sea view from our room. Spacious accomodation. Breakfast was delicious and good choices and portions. Will definitely be visiting again. Thankyou definitely 10/10 from us.

Thank you for being so welcoming and accommodating. We really enjoyed staying with you and would definitely recommend.The view from our room was amazing and everyone who runs/works there are so friendly. Thank you and see you again x

Had a great stay at 242.Parked right outside the property.Pleasantly surprised on entering, looks like new carpets throughout, unlike some places we have stayed on previous visits to Blackpool area.Check in was smooth process.Sea view room was lovely, modern decor, nice bathroom, shower worked perfectly.Breakfast was very good, everything served at our table, due to covid.Staff were quick to stop me getting my own cereal when I attempted to do so, quite right.All staff very very warm and welcoming and my wife and I would definitely return.Bus and tram stops just a few yards from the property.

Can’t tell you how perfect our stay was Alison is amazing Liz I don’t stop breakfast was lovely and plenty of it to set you up for the day can’t wait to come back xx

This is a quite location next to a (low tide only) quite beach. Great for a beach holiday.

We had a fantastic stay and nothing was too much trouble. Gorgeous tasty breakfast and we're missing it already. Made to feel very very welcome and we look forward to staying there again. The price was very good. Best place we've stayed in Blackpool. Many thanks x

Really enjoyed our stay with the hotel. Staff were absolutely great, my daughter is really difficult with her food and the hotel was really accommodating with making sure she had the breakfast she enjoyed. Will definitely be going back.

Me and my partner truly enjoyed our 3 night break in hotel 242 in Blackpool a lovely little area with plenty to do next to the hotel or quickly grab the tram into the central part of BlackpoolThe beach view from our window was stunning the service was brilliant considering everything that’s been going on now it was a lovely little stay and we can’t wait to book and come back in the November

We have just stayed in hotel 242 for 3 nights! And considering the circumstances at the moment! We just wanted to say our stay was fantastic! It was very clean the room was perfect with sea view too???? And the breakfast was lovely! The staff were very friendly and made us feel very welcome. We would recommend this hotel highly and it is very reasonably priced too! Would definitely stay there if returned to Blackpool again.

Always a pleasure to stay with you, over the past four years +.Only bad thing isgoing back home.

Warm quiet rooom, good breakfast. Friendly helpful staff. Hotel on sea front near tram stop.

The landlord was very easy to speK to even when i vame dow for breakfast to late .he put homself oit to get me some breakfast .whivh oknow stayinh at some placrs thry just woild not have bothered gettinh yoi anythingThese are the times that they stick too.

Good sized, very clean family room. Staff are really nice and the breakfast is great!

Very clean friendly

Hotel is newly-renovated and really nice and clean.We get the sea view room.They serve a set breakfast and you can help yourself with different cereals, whilst waiting for your cooked meal. It is a quiet area along the promenade, but with good access to trams going to and from central Blackpool.Would not hesitate to stay again.Thank you for your hospitality.

Excellent hotel & location, really friendly. Great breakfast! Ideal for hopping on tram to head into Blackpool for the day. Would stop again.

Great stay from start to finish.Warm welcome from all the team. Lovely clean room. Great breakfast in the morning. Two minute walk from bispham tram station and lovely view of the sea front. Would recommend

Had family and grandkids felt so welcomed and looked after100% by all staff .l am a regular visitor to Blackpool and nothing compares to this stay.

Last minute break, picked this hotel because of the price, happily surprised with the high standard of friendly service we received, and the the cleanliness of our room, breakfast was lovely too. I would stay here again if visiting Blackpool.

Response

wonderful review : thank you so much ,hope to see you again.

Enjoyed our stay and hope to see you again sometime.

Very happy lovely cleaning and breakfast good price

This place is an absolute gem! We arrived early but were still able to check in to a beautiful ground floor family room with a separate sleeping area for my two children with their own tv, meaning privacy for us tired parents after a long drive. We managed to grab the last parking space outside too which was a huge surprise (and helped massively with unpacking/packing the car).The floorboards creak a little as do some of the doors but nothing we couldn't put up with now and again.Comfortable beds with well plumped up pillows and enough towels for everyone.Breakfast was great, plenty of it, full English along with unlimited toast and plenty of cereal varieties.Great little bar in the hotel next door and very reasonably priced.I choose Bispham after coming here for years as a child and we could not have booked a better place to stay.We will be back!

Very welcomingCleanComfortableOur family room was a perfect size for me my husband and three children.We would definitely stay again
