Queens Mansions - QM01 Ocean View Suite

Blackpool's seafront draws visitors year-round for the tower, theatres, and amusement parks, but the town works just as well if you want quieter stretches of beach and local cafés. Queens Mansions—Ocean View Suite sits directly opposite Bispham Tram Station, so you can leave the car and head into town by tram, or walk straight onto the promenade from the building. The apartment itself is on the first floor: one bedroom with a zip-and-link bed (configured as two singles if you prefer), one bathroom with a shower cubicle, and an open-plan living and kitchen area with French doors onto a balcony.

The kitchen is properly fitted out—oven, hob, microwave, dishwasher and fridge mean you can cook as much or as little as you like. A washing machine is built in. The living space has a smart TV, and the balcony gives you somewhere to sit with a view over the water. Bed linen, towels, Wi-Fi and electricity are all included. There's on-site car parking available, and a pub is within a mile. The property is non-smoking throughout. This is a self-contained space for two, with everything you need to settle in for a few days without leaving the seafront.
