This stylish South Shore B&B has a boutique-hotel feel with treats and state-of-the-art music systems in bedrooms. Run by Mark and Claire Smith, who have many years' hospitality experience, the detached period house offers spacious, individually decorated bedrooms, each with a king-size bed; snacks and drinks; bathrobes, a power shower and spa bath (plus TV) in the bathroom. A large conservatory overlooks the garden with sun loungers as well as the hot tub. Breakfasts offer a 'full Blackpool' and lighter choices (special diets can be catered for) to set you up for a stroll to the famous promenade and Pleasure Beach. The hosts have good eating-out suggestions, too.
