Samantha United Kingdom

Everything. The breakfast isn't set in stone and you get to pick everything you want. Even Special requests they will try to accommodate for you. Ivan met us on arrival with a massive smile and was very pleasant. Tim was nice too and helped take our bags to the room. The other guests were friendly and polite. At breakfast time everyone was talking to one another It was nice. The bed was comfy and 4 poster bed made it that extra bit speical. Next time we come to Blackpool we will be staying again 100%

Host review score
The DERBY was built in 1874 as a coach house and in 1922 became a guest house. We cater for families, couples and senior citzens - all welcome but sorry no stag and hen parties. We have parking spaces in the front of the hotel, unrestricted parking on Derby Road and Garage parking if required. The hotel is across from the Hilton where at one time Derby Baths used to stand and is ideal location for conference delegates, Blackpool Illuminations or for the Hilton or the Imperial which is only 2 mins away.The DERBY is a warm and friendly guest house offering just what you get at home but we go a little more by offering you home cooked food by our own chef, very high standards of cleanliness and there for you to help you out if you have problems making your holiday one to remember. No stag or hen parties and family rooms are suitable for children under 14yrs only. We also have our own bar called the Countey Bar with draft beers warm and cosy just like a pub. We are within easy reach of the Winter Gardens, the Grand Theatre, town centre, shops, piers and Blackpool Tower. We are only 25 yards from the prom and the beach. We have a sun and TV lounge for you to sit in, enjoy a rest and...
The hotel is found in the north shore area and close to many local attractions including the tower,the sea front,golen mile north pier.We are 10 minutes walk from town centre, shows,and locil nightlife.
