    Superb place, really nicely done apartments, on a side road just off the main promenade, hop on a tram on the main road to take you through the lights etc.
    Not sure of your budget, but we thought these were great value and a lovely change.

    We have stayed at this place a few times. It is clean, the owners are friendly and welcoming, and the breakfast is good too.
    It is well situated for the illuminations yet not rowdy or noisy.

  • Weekend when the illuminations are on are a big ££££ maker for Blackpool business. If you can do a weekdays the cost will be about half that at weekends.

    Also the crowds are pretty well non existant, unless that's what you are going for?

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: i will be staying away from that, imagine if you were nieve enough to belive that guy and give him all your money and then have no petrol money to get home :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:


    thanks for the feedback guys
  • try easyjet or ryanair and go abroad for the weekend. you'll still save money as blackpool ain't cheap.
    You can get bed and board for £12 but that's what the bed is..... a board
  • try the pine lodge hotel in blackpool. its a lovely CLEAN family run B&B and its literally 4 mins walk to the tower and the beach. if you want to have a look, take a look at 270163018758 on ebay. they advertise late bookings on there. we only came back last friday, i can 100% vouch that this is very clean and the breakfasts are smashing! I won't stay anywhere else in Blackpool it's fantastic at the pine lodge. it's not expensive either.
