Hotels in Blackpool

We visited the Blackpool tower and took my 3 year old daughter to jungle jims, which was awsome!! The only thing is, is adults ain't allowed to go in the play area with them so we fount that the big kids where pushing the little ones out the way, but it was a nice place to have a sandwhichs and a cuppa!! We also went to the sea life centre. Which we got told would we an all day thing. We walked around the whole place within 2 hours, and that was looking at everything in detail, I'm glad we got 30% discount otherwise I wouldn't have been to happy with that. My daughter loved it but by The end got bored. We all had a picture done which was lovely! Then we went to the arcades. We love this, went on massive walks, pleasure beach (that was close when we was ther but heard it's amazing) Everyone in Blackpool is very friendly, we got lost a few times due to walking but everyone always helped us. Also everything is pretty cheap too! It was very easy to get around Blackpool once you knew your roads. iPhone maps are really good for finding your way back to the hotel lol! There are some lovely parks around too that we really enjoyed I think one was called Stanley park? Beautiful place. Would Defo recommend, people said the nightlife is meant to be amazing but coming away with your family is even better!! Definitely will be back!

We came for a specific reason and it was outside the normal holiday seasons. Blackpool is a tradition. It's generally the first big English holiday place most people make for as they start out on holiday adventures, coming of age, last mad single holiday, but it is also beloved by many who embrace the good old English seaside holiday.. It has everything you need for a good time, be you in a couple or a large group. I do not think there is a better place than Blackpool to find every experience you want. From the Pleasure Beach through to pier fishing and everything in between. It has a good beach, and a family atmosphere. Although it can be a bit boisterous at night. It also has a lot of good places to eat, even if you are on a budget, from little bistros and chippies to Nando's and Bella Italia,and a great, reasonable priced transport system to get you there.... Blackpool has taken a bit of a bashing over the past few years with the recession and austerity, but has always given the customer value for money. Blackpool is a wonderful place full of magic and adventure, and the illuminations are the most wonderful of experiences especially for children. I have loved Blackpool ever since my first childhood visit to the lights in the 60s, right up to my visit to the pigeon show last week. Blackpool will forever be a warm glow in my heart, as the greatest place to come for a typical English seaside holiday, and long may it continue that way.

I rate Blackpool a very Pleasant Place to Visit, It has numerous Facilities to explore. You can go to Shows in the theater, eat in many places lots public houses and clubs. Tower Circus a must and Top so you can see all over Blackpool and for miles around. Fair Ground is Very good value a ticket, buy on line is cheaper same with Circus or theater. also meals allinclusive for fair an drinks well worth it for a family. There is Central Pier good fair not as big ideal for little ones, have a zoo not far trams and buses, also train station not far away or Taxis. Lovely Place and even when Lights are on if you wrap up its still a nice Place. The Water Park with Waves is Great and Madame Tusards all famous People wax works, there is Aquarium with lots different fish and sharks. Overall it is an Enjoyable Place to Visit.

We went to Blackpool to spend our Christmas eve to watch a Xmas Cabaret show inclusive of a 3 course meal. The place was not packed for obvious reason that most of the people have probably spent it in their family or relatives or friends houses but there was more than a half of the venue and the show was alright to spend the Xmas eve a bit different. We went walking along the seashore on the 25th and just spent time in the hotel watching TV programmes. The 26th we hit the boxing day sales and the city is all the same as others not too big county or city but no difficulty at all where to eat or find a good sale. My family and I had a good quality spending our Xmas in Blackpool and I will plan to go back there again on my birthday doing the same thing, Amenities are close by each other. We went to Nandos and so far that is the best Nandos I have ever been compared to one in London, Kent and Leeds. They have big chunky portions of half a chicken and the corn on the cob is a whole corn not a half and the staffs look neat and fresh looking unlike in Leeds the Light they look minging and sweaty. Their wash table cloth hanging in their sauce patchy aprons pocket.

The weather was so bad I never ventured outside of the hotel. Having said that I went for the break and a change from my every day routine, we are in the middle of winter and one doesn't expect glorious sunshine. The entertainment was very good especially Christmas Eve, there is an excellent gym, the seating arrangement was very good and comfortable where you can sit and relax and watch the world go by as it were so the weather out side was of little consequence. Blackpool itself hasn't changed much really in the last 60 or 70 years. There is something for every one, If you like a quite holiday then it's up north for the older generation if you like a bit more life type of thing, then it's central and south for the younger generation. The twain can and doe's meet for short periods to ad a little variation to the holiday if you know what I mean. Blackpool will never change and who wants it to, It is us who change, We get older.
