    Individuality of the rooms, we had room 7 which was spotlessly clean and finished in a boutique style. Spacious with a large comfortable bed, and a fabulous bathroom. Breakfast was excellent with great choices and quality produce, including a choice of homemade marmalades. Hosts Julie and Craig were very welcoming, helpful and informative about the area. Location good, free on street parking and tram within 5 min walk

    Welcoming from the first moment I stepped in the door greeted by Craig and Julie. A true Yorkshire welcome in Blackpool. As an interiors lover I loved the attention to detail and 1920’s aesthetic. All rooms had the wow factor regardless of size. My room had everything I needed and was warm cozy, great bedding and absolutely spotless.

    Absolutely wonderful hotel. Craig and Julie are fabulous hosts, nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are beautifully decorated and really well equipped. Breakfast was out of this world! the eggs Benedict were amazing. Couldn't fault a thing. We moved from a different hotel which was awful and they were worlds apart!!
