I just wanted to write a review about the improvements made to the promenade in Blackpool as I was so impressed whilst there recently! I've been a regular visitor to Blackpool since I was a small child, my great grandad lived there until I was 16 and my cousins and I frequently went to stay with him during the school holidays, ...  Read the complete review

Its easy to be dismissive about Blackpool. The epicentre of bingo holidays, theme parks and the ever-famous British stock-a-rock, it has long since been scoffed at by people who now enjoy annual holiday's in places like Benidorm, Marmaris, or any other similarly themed cheesefest that passes off as the family holiday. In all honesty, ...  Read the complete review

Just a spent a bank holiday day out in Blackpool I am 51 years old and never been, nor had my wife, so thought it time to go and se what all the fuss was about. Got there, weather very sunny but breezy, paid a fortune to park, walked down to the "Golden Mile" seafront past loads of shutdown boarded up guest houses, ...  Read the complete review

Blackpool is a place I used to always take my children when they were growing up, we used to go regular and have lots of fun as there used to be so much going on to entertain the whole family. My hubby and his family along with mine sometimes used to stay at a nearby caravan site and we used to have sometimes 3 x 8 berth ...  Read the complete review

My family and I have been to Blackpool four times for short breaks, and each holiday has been a thoroughly enjoyable experience. * Transport * We are from Liverpool, so Blackpool is only an hour and a half away by car. Once we arrive, we don't use the car until we go home - we just park it in a car park and use the ...  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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  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 ...  Read the complete review
