Lovely traditional pub, clean and spacious bedroom, breakfast you could choke a horse with. paid parking. but £1.60 for the weekend is a bargain. definitely go back there. ##### Graeme Stayed 1 night in Aug 2021 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 2 Aug 2021 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Not worth the money We booked this place based on all the positive reviews. However, we were very disappointed. We were not informed that there was no longer on site parking and had to pay to park in a lot blocks away. We were led to believe that food was available in the evening and this is not true. Our room was on the ground floor in the Carriage House with tables right outside our window. Both evenings there was "live" music that went on until midnight. The mattress on the bed was so bad, you could count the springs popping out. The shower temperature adjustment knob was stuck on full hot, but this still only gave us a tepid shower. Needless to say, our stay was not as advertised, and not worth the money. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2021 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Carousel Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Carousel-Hotel.h1157230.Hotel-Information) > > [Forshaws Hotel – Blackpool](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Forshaws-Hotel-Blackpool.h68147099.Hotel-Information) > > [Woodhouse Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Woodhouse-Hotel.h90865916.Hotel-Information) > > [Dutchman Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Dutchman-Hotel.h11764254.Hotel-Information) > > [The Grand Hotel Blackpool](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-The-Grand-Hotel-Blackpool.h436227.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Sheraton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Hotel-Sheraton.h4102845.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Boston Hotel by Compass Hospitality](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-The-Royal-Boston-Hotel.h16287328.Hotel-Information) > > [Claremont Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Claremont-Hotel.h4533317.Hotel-Information) > > [Coastal Bay Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Coastal-Bay-Hotel.h37022784.Hotel-Information) > > [Lyndene Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Lyndene-Hotel.h24302420.Hotel-Information) > > [The Imperial Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-The-Imperial-Hotel.h371818.Hotel-Information) > > [The New Royal Windsor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-The-New-Royal-Windsor-Hotel.h6568571.Hotel-Information) > > [Big Blue Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Big-Blue-Hotel.h914954.Hotel-Information) > > [Silversands Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Silversands-Hotel.h23400742.Hotel-Information) > > [The Craig-Y-Don Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-The-Craig-Y-Don-Hotel.h2238143.Hotel-Information) > > [The Caledonian Tower Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Libertys-On-The-Square.h57917226.Hotel-Information) > > [Cliffs Hotel - Blackpool](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-The-Cliffs-Hotel-Blackpool.h4533318.Hotel-Information) > > [Number One South Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Number-One-South-Beach.h11798824.Hotel-Information) > > [Savoy Blackpool Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Savoy-Blackpool-Hotel.h175627.Hotel-Information) > > [Viking Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Viking-Hotel.h4533310.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Blackpool](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Blackpool.h1523435.Hotel-Information) > > [The President Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-The-President-Hotel.h2270882.Hotel-Information) > > [Tiffanys Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Tiffanys-Hotel.h2423734.Hotel-Information) > > [Mardi Gras Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Mardi-Gras-Hotel.h48805377.Hotel-Information) > > [Boulevard Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Boulevard-Hotel.h27482934.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Carlton Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Best-Western-Carlton-Hotel.h807923.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hopton Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-The-Hopton-Hotel.h26955147.Hotel-Information) > > [Hot tub apartment @ ApartHotel421 by Seafront Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Hot-Tub-Apartment-Aparthotel421-By-Seafront-Collection.h59376471.Hotel-Information) > > [Bluewaters Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-The-Bedford-Hotel.h34040292.Hotel-Information) > > [Stay With Empire- Dickson Road](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Empire-Blackpool-Apartments-Dickson-Road.h48224916.Hotel-Information)
