Blackpool in General Reviews

This review isn't so much about all the various attractions at Blackpool (although I will be mentioning them), I'm going to talk about the 2 sides to Blackpool; the family friendly side and the altogether more sleazy side. I have mixed feelings about Blackpool, part of me is filled with fun loving memories of family holidays in ...  Read the complete review

I was madly jealous of my friend who got to go to Blackpool every summer when we were kids. I was invited to go to Blackpool more than once as an adult but the seedy image of a holiday resort full of beer swilling Brits wearing Kiss Me Quick hats while they rode donkeys along the beach put me off. I made my first visit for a day in 2008 when we ...  Read the complete review

When I was younger every year my parents would take me and my brother to Blackpool on holiday, and now I have children my parents now take them on short breaks to Blackpool. I don't know why my parents love Blackpool so much but I have been that many times I am a bit sick of it. I would go again for a daytrip or maybe a weekend but I wouldn't ...  Read the complete review

As I mentioned in my other reviews about Blackpool, I have been going there since I was 5, and it is like my second home. There are always a lot of mixed opinions about Blackpool, some people say that it is a dirty place, and there really isn't any thing appealing about it, but for me that's not true. There have been a lot of changes ...  Read the complete review

Blackpool, everyone has an opinion, almost everyone has been, some love it some hate it so whats the story. Arriving in the town and parking in one of the many parking areas the first thing that will strike you is the massive Tower, the trade mark of the town and the identity of the place, it sits like a king watching its loyal ...  Read the complete review

A couple of years ago I probably had the same negative opinion of Blackpool as lots of people. It had been around 25 years since I was last there, as a child on a trip with my Mum and a couple of aunt's and cousins. My memories included wet, grey and cold 'miserable' weather, finding the B&B we had booked into was awful (when the landlady ...  Read the complete review

I went to Blackpool yesterday so thought I would write a review on it. I have been to Blackpool more times than I can remember, we used to go every summer as children and I've gone almost once a year since. I love everything about Blackpool, the lovely beach, the piers, the tower, the trams, the illuminations, everything. Every time I go, I have a ...  Read the complete review

Blackpool is a great british holiday destination. Yes it does get alot of stick nowadays because many people prefer to go abroad-for probably the same price with all the cheap flights available many places in Blackpool have had to close due to the lack of customers. So yes alot of the town does look dirty and run down BUT theres still plenty ...  Read the complete review

It's my opinion that if you don't like Blackpool, you're tired of life. Even if you think it's loud, crass and cheap there's something fascinating about the place. There's so much to say about this town, I am going to limit my review to the beach, The Golden Mile, the amusement arcades and the nightlife. My love affair ...  Read the complete review

An awful lot of us will have been to Blackpool at some time or other. Whether it be for a weekend break, a day out, stag and hen parties, to see the illuminations or even your annual summer holiday. Situated on the Fylde coast in the North-West of England, this small town has an excellent road and rail infrastructure, with the M55 ...  Read the complete review

Overview ------------ Blackpool is a seaside resort on the North West coast. I do like Blackpool but i cant help feel it lets itself down at times. Things to do ---------------- The main attraction is of course the long sandy beach that Blackpool is famous for. It is extremely save for bathers and you can get a ...  Read the complete review

I'd like start by saying how much I like Blackpool and have done since being a very small child. There really is something for everyone there but it is a real shame about the wind. Everytime I go there, with out fail, there is seemingly a strong wind. The usual weather problems aside, Blackpool offers the classic golden mile that is ...  Read the complete review

The seaside town of Blackpool has, in my experience one of the worst reputations of any place in the UK. However, it is conversely one of the most visited places. My family used to go there for a day out at least once a year, sometimes in the height of summer for the beach but mainly for the World Famous Illuminations. Now years on, my wife ...  Read the complete review

We went to Blackpool on a couch tour last year. Our stay in the Stuart hotel was very enjoyable. The room was on the second floor and the only disadvantage was the very narrow staircase and no elevator. however the room was lovely and very clean and warm. The meals were excellent and there was a good choice on the menu. Blackpool was very ...  Read the complete review

I have heard some terrible reviews of Blackpool so was a little apprehensive about going there for an over night stay. I had a fun time but I can see why there are some bad reviews Accommodation So many B & B's some of which look dirty and really dodgy as do some of the hotels! But because of the sheer number of ...  Read the complete review

Good old Blackpool -everyone has good memories of the donkeys, going up to the top of the tower and to the circus. i visited Blackpool as a child and then returned with my own children. It is a must in your childhood. I only hope that the local council and the business people realise they need to make a few changes to keep the standards up so ...  Read the complete review

Blackpool is one of the UK''s top tourist attractions, the main one being the Blackpool tower, the best and scariest part is probably when you are standing on glass, looking down 1000 feet, that is something everyone should experience. The cost of entrance is good value at around £10 for adults and £5 for children and elderly, you can also make ...  Read the complete review

With my usual winter trip to Blackpool just around the corner now I thought I would write a few words on why I think Blackpool still has something to offer even though it has changed beyond recognition in some parts from when I used to visit as a girl way back in the 60`s. Blackpool is still an exciting place for kids with the pleasure ...  Read the complete review

I was 5 years of age when I first visited Blackpool, taken there by my parents and grandparents for a family holiday and I loved it. Now lets be honest, we all done things at 5 years old which we enjoyed then but that would not entertain us now but Blackpool still entertains me to this day (30 years on). I now have a 5 year old son of ...  Read the complete review

I first went to Blackpool when I was younger, I went with my mum and dad and we loved it, I went two years ago with my husband and three kids aged 9, 7, and 6 years. We went through Ulster bus tours and it cost around £800, this was for the hotel (half board) and traveling, However the down side of traveling by coach is that you travel ...  Read the complete review
