“Me and my family had a wonderful stay here last weekend. The place itself is beautiful, but what truly sets it apart are the amazing hosts—they go above and beyond to ensure everything is perfect. Spotlessly clean, a delicious breakfast, and a fantastic location right by the sea. Highly recommended!”

“Such a warm and inviting bed and BREAKFAST (emphasis on the breakfast), Jane's breakfasts are the fuel you need to fill your holidays to the brim. The kindness and humour they both share have you wanting to stay there indefinitely. The rooms are so clean and the views are great! The Croyden is a museum of tokens gifted by previous guests which shows the extent of how much their guests appreciate the service they provide. We can't wait to go back!!”

“We've stayed here quite a few times now and every single time we've been looked after so well, its like being away with family. Steve and Jane are delightful, nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are clean, beds are comfy and rooms well stocked. The breakfast is the best breakfast I've had and so much choice, and I've been visiting Blackpool for about 40 years, I wish I'd found them sooner. I hate leaving, its so lovely. The beach is about 100 yds away. Tram at the end of the road to go anywhere. Honestly I can't say enough about it, we love it there.”
