Great little hotel. Great service and staff very friendly. Room was small but then it is only for sleeping in. Parking is a major concern in the area. I couldn’t get parked near the hotel on our final evening at all and eventually had to check out and drive home that evening!!

We were greeted at the door by Ian the owner who couldn't have been more friendly. He took us in and explained everything we needed to know for our stay there. We stayed in room 7, although it was small it had everything we needed. It was nice and clean and the bed was very comfortable. We were there for a small music event at a nearby venue and Ian seemed to take a real interest in it, asking how it went because i was playing in it which i thought was really nice. The breakfast! Hmm where to start! It was simply perfect, exactly what was needed after a night out on the tiles. The dining room was very clean and well laid out and Ian was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed and like i said Veronica's brekkie was lovely. My band is playing Blackpool again in November and I'll definitely be staying here again. I'd recommend this lovely little place to anyone.
