    is that B&B only! It does seem steep - although is that the time when the illuminations get switched on- I know its more expensive round then?
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.

    The £300 quote they had was for Haven not for Blackpool.

  • Hi i have just returned from blackpool went mon to fri last week, 2 adults 1 child and stayed at a BB on the sea front.

    Had an ensuite sea view room. Was a very basic hotel, room was small but clean, bit old fashioned but you got a good English breakfast in the morning. i paid £90 for all of us and pent the rest of the money, which i would have spent on an expensive hotel on all of the attractions in blackpool, Bargain
  • I would try and get somewhere in Lytham rather than Blackpool. It's only minutes from Blackpool but much nicer.
  • thank you for the tips

    i think i have found a holiday park in morecombe for £175 for upto 6 people
    and it seems reasonably close to travel to blackpool for the attractions once or twice because i don't think my little boy would cope in blackpool for a week.

    thankyyou Bev:T
  • Thank you I have just booked a week in morecambe about 50 minutes away from blackpool for £254.00 for 7 nights including insurance with hoseason children are really happy to as they get they own bedroom. just got to sort out some cheap tickets for the pleasure beach and other attractions

    :beer: thank you for all your help
