    The room was a bit chilly the radiator appeared small for the room, or maybe the room had not been used for a while, apart from that all very goof . -.-.

    Really warm.welcome on such a miserable,grey,wet afternoon. Reception area also welcoming. Lots of choices for breakfast and the cooked breakfast was plentiful and lovely. Nice big clean bathroom. .

    I can't fault the guesthouse itself on anything. The location may be too far out of the centre for some people.

    This is the best guesthouse I have ever stayed in Blackpool and one of the best I've stayed anywhere (and I am a seasoned traveller). The room was exceptionally comfortable and well equipped. The bed had a top quality mattress and pillows. There was a comfy chair, a wardrobe with lots of hangers, a shelf beside the bed and a lamp. It was nice and warm, because the radiator stayed on for a decent number of hours and there was also a heated towel rail in the bathroom. All of these things are rare in this price band, especially in a single room. The wi-fi was excellent. Breakfast was available, though I chose not to have it myself as I don't like eating at that time of the morning. The lady in charge was very friendly and helpful. The Golden Sands is the best type of traditional B&B.

    Can honestly say there wasn’t anything to dislike.

    Great facilities, the room was very spacious, we had a dog with us, plenty of room for a whole family, en suite bathroom with toilet, sink and shower. The dining area has staggered times so you have plenty of room to enjoy your meal.

    Uphill from the tram stop. No reflection on the B&B , just lack of personal fitness 😂

    Ange was a great host ,friendly and knowledgeable. We got a tram pass for the weekend which was hassle free. The room and bed were huge and spotlessly clean . Great to have proper sized mugs too 😊 We were given the option of breakfast ,which we took and glad we did as superb value for money with plenty of choice. Lovely quieter location which we liked as no late night noise. We will definitely be doing a return visit ☺️

    As a single person staying in a single room, I found this to be adequate for myself. The view from the window was unsightly but due to this being run down buildings opposite the premises and nothing to do with the b and b owner, this was unavoidable.

    I found the host to be very friendly and accommodating. My room was clean and comfortable and had everything I required for my stay. Cooked breakfast was delicious. Quiet location and ideal for accessing the area. I also liked the fact that the premises is pet friendly which is important for pet owners and their pets.
