Blackpool is famous for being a seaside resort on England's north west coast. The town is on the Irish Sea, between the Ribble and Wyre estuaries, 17 miles north west of Preston. Blackpool has been popular as a holiday resort since the mid-18th century when it became fashionable in England to travel to the coast in the summer to improve well-being. Blackpool's seven mile sandy beach and promenade are still a popular attraction today with donkey rides, fish-and-chip shops and theatres. Other landmarks include the Blackpool Tower, Blackpool illuminations, the Pleasure Beach, Sandcastle Water Park, the Winter Gardens, Blackpool Zoo, or take a ride on the first generation tramway the only surviving one in the UK. Nearby the seaside towns of Lytham and St Annes-on-Sea nestle along a picturesque stretch of coastline lined with pretty parks, whilst walkers and twitchers will adore the rolling sandy dunes of St Annes-on-Sea and the Ribble Estuary providing a safe haven for more than 250,000 migrating birds that return each winter. The area is internationally renowned for golf with seven courses to choose from, the most notable being the Royal Lytham & St Annes Old Links Golf Club, one of the host courses for the Open Championship. Boating, cycling, shopping and swimming can all also be enjoyed nearby, along with award-winning restaurants, traditional pubs and wine bars should you fancy celebrating. Whatever you want from your seaside getaway, Blackpool is an ideal choice.

Everything is finished to a high quality. Comfortable beds and well-equipped kitchen. Great sea views from master bedroom. Will definitely visit again. Cons: Stairs are shallow and not suitable for all. A stairgate at the top of the stairs would help with the feeling of vertigo everyone had when passing the gap at the top step to enter the bathroom. I have mobility issues, but managed the stairs by coming down backwards :-) The shower is over the bath, which is also quite high and tricky to get in an out of. I won't be taking any elderly relatives.

We arrived to see it beautifully decorated for Christmas! It's a lovely location on the sea front and handy for our favourite eating places in Bispham , five minutes walk away. All in all we had a fabulous time and hope to be back very soon .

We had a bit of a tap issue on our first night and this was repaired within half an hour! Fantastic position in Bispham, near a tram stop making it easy to reach Blackpool centre but in a peaceful location. Lovely dog walks on beach/cliffs from front door, also dog friendly pub, The Highlands a short walk away and The Gynn at Gynn square a bit further along. We loved our short stay here and wish we had booked for longer, would not hesitate to return.
