This is a friendly guest house with several single rooms with ensuite shower for holidaymakers to have a space totally to themselves. I stayed here for five nights and found the service to be excellent. the breakfast was a selection of "continental" which for me meant a cereal, pastry and yoghurt. I look forward to returning to this guest house in the future. It's less than ten minutes on a bus from Blackpool North/North Pier and under 20 minutes if you prefer to walk. It was a great location for seeing the illuminations which were a 2 minute walk to the promenade.

Stayed here on the weekend for 3 nights and I have to say best service and hotel I've stayed in on my many visits to blackpool. Mayu was an amazing host and made me and my son feel very welcome and at home. Will definitely stay here again and again and bring the family next time. She truly is lovely person

We could not fault our stay. The minute we arrived we were greeted with a warm welcome. We had one of the small rooms (I have stayed in smaller rooms in Blackpool) we are not small people and had enough room to move around/pass one another. We don't spend a lot of time in our hotel rooms, we look for a clean room (I have allergies), a comfy bed and hot shower at a good price - breakfast is always a bonus. We typically stay in the centre however this area was so clean and quiet. A15 minute walk from the centre or one short street away from 2 tram stops. Continental breakfast has loads of operations and ever filling. This B&B ticked all our boxes and surpassed our expectations. The B&B owners have just taken over in the last couple of weeks but you can tell this is something they are passionate about. Talking to them they have great plans for the B&B over the next coming months (with some mattresses being replaced already). We will definitely be looking to return here for our next visit to Blackpool.
