If you are looking to stay in central Blackpool in 5 star B&B accomodation then look no further.Colin and Sue the owners are really nice people and nothing you ask is to much trouble for them.The accomodation is centrally located and at the heart of all the main attractions.We would definately go back here.

We always read reviews, this how we select a "good one", (occasionally in amongst the reviews, as my father would say, "there's always one" who doesn't agree and we all know what the're like) and by and large this has been successful over the years, and believe you me this is "a GUD UN ".

Rooms were small but well maintained and very clean. Beds were very comfy. The owners were very friendly and helpful and they set you up for the day with a lovely breakfast. I am in Blackpool regularly for business trips and I will be returning again.
