Berkeley -BK201 Gull

Blackpool's North Shore sits across the road from this second-floor apartment, which opens directly onto Queen's Promenade. The seafront here is quieter than the central stretch—the main attractions like Tower and Pleasure Beach are a couple of miles away—but that makes it easier to slip down to the beach or grab fish and chips without the crowds. Bispham's shops and cafés are under a mile back from the water.

Berkeley sleeps six across two bedrooms: one with a kingsize bed and one with a double, plus a sofa bed in the living room. The shower room is compact. You get a proper living space with a smart TV and dining area, a kitchen set up for self-catering, and all the essentials—heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and wifi—included. Parking is on site. The apartment does not permit smoking.

It suits families or groups wanting a straightforward base by the sea without the cost of a larger property, or couples after a quiet coastal weekend. A travel cot and highchair can be arranged if needed.
