Lovely base to visit Blackpool tower

Ideal for our purpose , with good downstairs facilities for our less mobile member member of the party . Clean with everything needed . A bar in the shower downstairs would be a good addition to aid showering for less mobile. Very comfortable and warm ! Excellent stay !

Perfect for us

Location was perfect for our needs. Kitchen was well supplied, which made a nice change to most properties. Everything was clean, neat and comfortable. Sound downstairs doesn't travel upstairs which is great if you have kids sleeping.
