An Excellent Stay in Blackpool.

I had an excellent stay in Blackpool! The accommodation was fantastic. From the moment I arrived, the space was welcoming, comfortable, and well-maintained. Every detail seemed to be thoughtfully considered, making it a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Whether it was the cozy rooms, great amenities, or the friendly atmosphere, it exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Blackpool!

From start to finish staying at friends hotel was a joy. Dot,the owner is wonderful and making your stay a happy one is important to her.our room was well decorated, comfortable and the fridge was a great addition. The bed is so comfy we didn't want to leave it. Breakfast was huge and delicious. Friends hotel is definitely pet friendly and Dot made a huge fuss over our dog Toby who fell in love with her. Our only regret was that we didn't know about friends hotel before this. What more could you possibly want, its near everything, its like staying with a favourite auntie, you may arrive as a stranger but you leave as a friend. Definitely recommend.

Lovely b&b

Luke was such an amazing host. He was very courteous by letting us have an early check in. He met us at arrival and took us to our room. The room was lovely and clean and was just like the photos. We would definitely stay again and recommend to others.
