On arrival we were greeted with a friendly smile and an old musty smell ... a bit like my grandad's old wardrobe. Clashing wallpaper and carpets throughout, but hey, everyone to their own. There is no working lift in this hotel, so you could well be on your knees by the time you reach the top floor.
The room we were given could not have been worse if they tried. It was dusty, and there was a large "deposit" waiting for us in the toilet which took two flushes to get rid of. The shower curtain had a hole in it and you had to run the tap on the bedroom sink to get the shower to work. The wardrobe was falling apart and the beds were as comfortable as lying in a coffin. There were punch marks on the walls. As for the tea/coffee making facilities... it would probably be safer to drink from the toilet. The heating controls seemed to be broken and the room resembled a sauna. The only positive was that the bed sheets were clean.

Breakfast was the only good thing about this hotel and the staff were friendly.

If you are crude, vulgar and/or toothless .. this hotel could be the one for you.

This is by far one of the worst propertys we have stayed in. The room and bathroom were disgusting they were not even cleaned properly. After spending £60 on this accommodation and 30 minutes in the room we decided it was time to go else where. They would not give us a full refund they gave us a £20 refund they must be keeping the other £40 to buy cleaning materials!!!

Firgrove Hotel

0/1 found this review helpful

My mate and I decided to stay an extra night in Blackpool and so looked for a B&B.

The Firgrove looked nice from the outside and once inside we straight away were made to feel at home by the friendly staff.

We were given the chance to view the accomodation before committing, but as soon as we saw it we had no hesitation in booking.

The room itself, was very clean and spacious, it did however give the impression that it had seen better days and the decor of the hotel in general did seem a bit 1960's/1970's.

However the main thing I look for in a B&B is cleanliness and friendly owners/staff and both of these things were present.

The owners say they normally cater for stag/hen groups and I would definately recommend the Firgrove to these groups.

Finally the breakfast is superb with plenty of choice, with good quality branded food used instead of cheap alternatives.

We booked a stag weekend in blackpool and expected just basic bb, but was suprised with the hotel. Patrick was a great host and the bar staff were excellent!
We had the biggest breakfast out, although a few of us couldn't manage it.
The location is near town and they are plenty of pubs on route to the clubs.
Rooms clean, wallpaper a bit dated, but had ensuite and TV.

When we arrived in Blackpool, I was optimistic about having a good time there, but when we arrived at the hotel, we could not get in because a ladder was blocking the door; we were made to crawl under the ladder to get in, not a good sign, not to mention the smell that we were greeted with.

After we had checked in, and paid, we went upstairs to find that our room had not even been cleaned! I went down the stairs to be told that they would put us in a different room instead, but after we got to our new room, we were told that they had changed their minds, and that we were to stay in our original room.

We waited for it to be cleaned, this took them some time, after which, we went back to the room to find that the lights were not working, and that the sink was actually falling off the wall! The room was a health and safety nightmare, and definitely not the kind of place that anyone would want to stay in.

We went back down the stairs, and demanded a refund, and to their credit, they gave us one, they were probably expecting it.

This hotel should not be open at all; the building is in serious need of repair and cleaning. We had to find another hotel nearby to stay in.
