Beautiful,Clean & Close to Town Centre
Fantastic friendly hosts & staff. You couldn’t wish for a better room & facilities. They have a lovely bar in there if you wish to drink before you go out. Taxi service from there arrive quickly if you don’t fancy the 10 min walk to the centre.
Breakfast was very good with loads on offer to cater for everyone.
I don’t usually leave reviews but these guys certainly are worthy of one. I would highly recommend this place to anyone wanting a stay in Blackpool. But don’t do it when I return lol I'll be returning 100%!!!!

By the Seaside
Really enjoyed our stay at By The Seaside. On arrival my husband was taken to the allocated parking space at the bottom of the road and our suitcase was taken up to our room. Noticed that there were no towels in the room, but nipped downstairs and Denise was very apologetic and sorted straight away. The room was lovely and included a fridge stocked with soft drinks, beer and snacks. These were payable but very reasonable prices. Large smart TV and even had a mini Alexa. Room was nicely furnished and bathroom although quite small was more than adequate with toothbrushes, toothpaste, flannels and cotton wool provided, which we didn't use but was a nice touch. Small shower gel and shampoo also provided. Breakfast was very good - selection of fruit, cereal, pastries etc and full English breakfast or Eggs benedict taken to order. There was also a bar, which we didn't use, as we were out most of the day and didn't get back until quite late
The only negative was that our room wasn't cleaned or towels changed throughout our stay (4 nights) not sure if we should have requested tnis? Only room sign available was ' do not disturb' but not a big issue for us. We would definitely recommend By the Seaside

Blackpool Gem
Amazing hosts! The place is spotless, comfortable and well located. The food is very good with a large selection of hot and cold options. Our hosts, Kim and Hillary were a wreath of local information and lore, and quick to offer up assistance with travel snags as well as suggestions for local events, places to eat or things to do! Our room was spacious, clean, and bright, lots of power outlets. The room was quiet and private, definatly a place we plan to return to.

Lovely hotel close to amenities
Lovely spotlessly clean and very well turned out hotel with seaside theme. Central to all amenities and close to the front. Owners were very friendly and accommodating went out there way to fulfill our needs. Lovely breakfast with great range of choices. Only downfall was the bed was too hard for our liking so didn't have the best sleep, but the owners did say they are updating the rooms regularly. Would recommend and will return if a softer bed was available

Friendly staff and hotel quality rooms in a B&B
Rooms are spacious, decorated in a modern style. Staff were friendly, offering to prepare breakfast early to suit our departure time. Excellent breakfast with a choice of fruit, cereal, juices and hot drinks and best of all a proper fry up!

We arrived after a nightmare 13 hour journey and the hosts were there to greet us with a smile at 2am! They had even left us some sandwiches, pringles and drinks in our room for when we arrived :) Ideal location a minutes walk from the seafront on a nice quiet road. Can't recommend this place enough!

Perfect stay in everyway. Owners were there when we needed them and not overbearing. Breakfast was fantastic. Absolutely could not be improved. By The Seaside is everything and more that a B&B should be.
