About Friends Bed and Breakfast
Reads Avenue sits among the terraced guesthouses that make up this part of Blackpool, a short stretch from the seafront and close enough to the Tower and town centre attractions to reach on foot. Friends Bed and Breakfast occupies one of these houses, offering a practical base for a seaside break without any fuss.
Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms, multi-channel TV, a small fridge and drinks provided, with family rooms available for those travelling in a group. Breakfast is cooked fresh each morning with a good range of choice, and free WiFi, luggage storage and 24 hour reception cover the basics. Dogs are welcome, which suits guests who don't want to leave a pet behind. Staff are consistently described as friendly and willing to help beyond the ordinary.
Beyond the door, the area offers pubs, bars and restaurants within walking distance, along with cycling and walking routes, golf, fishing and watersports nearby for those wanting to get out and about. It's a no-frills option that puts guests close to everything Blackpool has to offer.

What guests say
If you're looking for a warm, friendly, dog-friendly place to stay in Blackpool, I can't recommend Friends Hotel highly enough. Bertie Beagle and I have stayed here several times, and every visit feels like coming home. Dot is an amazing host who goes above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome. She genuinely cares about her guests, and Bertie is always greeted with just as much enthusiasm as I am! The rooms are spotlessly clean, comfortable, and have everything you need for a relaxing stay. The breakfasts are fantastic, with plenty of choice, and the location is perfect. It's close enough to all the attractions while still being peaceful enough for a good night's sleep. It's those little personal touches and the genuine kindness that keep us coming back. Thank you, Dot, for always making our stays so special. Bertie and I are already looking forward to our next visit! Highly recommended. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had such a lovely stay here and really comfortable from the moment I arrived. The room was clean and cosy, just what I needed. The breakfast was delicious with plenty of choice, and everything tasted fresh. The location was perfect too, with shops near by which made everything so easy. The atmosphere felt welcoming and friendly which made a big difference to my stay. I would definitely come again and recommend it to friends and family 😊💖

Dot is an amazing host. Nothing too much trouble. Had booked a double room for my daughter and I as we were down for a dance comp, but on arrival we were allocated a family room. Very spacious and clean. Breakfasts fresh and made to order. Would definitely stay here again.

The name certainly is appropiate for this hotel. You may come as a stranger but due to the friendliness of owner Dorothy you will leave feeling like you have made a new friend. The room was spotless and if i could have taken the bed home with me i would have as it was so comfortable. The hotel is pet friendly which is a must for us. Breakfast was delicious and freshly cooked. The only problem i had wasnt with the hotel but the distance into the town centre,its quite close for an able bodied person but i have walking difficulties and found it a bit too far. Would i recommend this hotel? Definitely !!!. Thank you Dorothy for an enjoyable stay and a wonderful smile.
