Tom & Kaye says:Hi Doug and Mandy. Many thanks for a great weekend. We could have chosen any hotel in Blackpool to celebrate Kaye`s 40th but we`re ever so glad we found yours. Won`t forget Friday night for quite some time. Little did we know that Tom Jones, Elvis (ahh huh huh) and Frank Sinatra would be appearing at the Canasta that night. Thought the legends show was on the North pier. Great breakfast and a great room. Doug and Mandy you were the perfect hosts and your staff were all so friendly and helpful. Can`t wait to see you all again soon! All the best ! Tom and Kaye
Our Reply:Whey Hey Tom Tom G100!!!! We all loved your singing and impressions!!!!!!! Please please please.....come back soon (and hope your Chuckle Brother, Andy makes it at same time!!) Best weekend we've had in a looooong time!!!

debbie stevenson says:We recently stayed on the 29th aug for 3 nights and our stay was excellent. All the staff are a credit to you. The room (18) was lovely, clean lots of room for our family and comfortable. Loved the extras ie free paper and free tea and coffee. i will definitely be recommending you and also returning next year. I wouldnt recommend the beautician i phoned to book an appointment and she didnt even have the courtesy to return my call to say she was booked up or not.the only thing that let down my wkend but no reflection on the hotel.
Our Reply:Hi Debbie
Thanks for your comments
Sorry Elaine didn't get back to you. She had some problems to attend to that weekend in August. We'll look forward to seeing you again!

Appreeciate people like you! I hope me and my family will experience your hotel in the future. Had a look at your website after the program ended and just wanted to thank you for what you did on that program. Be safe!
