The last time we came to blackpool we stayed at a four star hotel and were furious at the service we received. We chose this hotel this time because it is right on the promenade (my mother can't walk very far) and has a pool. The hotel is very serviceable and while the decor and rooms are not four star,...

My wife and I stayed here recently for two nights on Bed, Breakfast and Evening meal. Apart from the food which was excellent all the staff were very professional and spot on with service. The pool and sauna were great and the sea view bedroom was extremely clean and warm.

My girlfriend and I stayed last weekend, Friday and Saturday night. Upon arrival we were warmly greeted and told to park round the back of the hotel off the main road, for free. We've stayed at many hotels in Blackpool and to park for free was a bonus. The Bedford is quite a large hotel in comparison to others we... More
