The New Kent

Away from the hustle of central but the tram stop is right outside. A handful of local convenience shops round the corner, Where we picked up our 7 day bus/tram pass. We download the bus/tram app and new exactly when to leave our room to catch the next tram. This family run guest house was a very nice place to stay for our family of four. Communication before and during our stay was very good. Breakfast was awesome and service was top notch. We would definitely stay again

Stayed here for 5 nights. First trip to Blackpool with my partner. Found this B&B down by the sea which is in an ideal location. Reasonable price as well with all breakfasts included. Hotel style unique but slightly outdated. The tea cups were difficult use as small handle to hold on to. Tram stop less than two minute walk from the B&B. Tram prices very reasonable and regular. But there are some niggles regarding staying in this B&B; Breakfast - Quite limited. Full breakfast included fried bread, tomato, fried egg, mushrooms, bacon, sausage and beans. Cereal on offer but limited selection. Asked to change our breakfast a few times and it felt like an inconvenience to the host to have to change the order. No choice in white or brown bread. No offer or option to change how the egg was cooked. But the sign out the front of the hotel offered ommlete and scrambled egg. Cleanliness - no housekeeping at all during our stay. Handbook said that housekeeping was completed daily yet this did not happen. Had to request further tea and coffee supplies as we had run out after 2 days - these were left on the door handle of the room. There was a bit of mould in the bathroom (photo below). Took a while for the shower to heat up and was temperamental when running going hot and cold constantly. Hosts - Friendly enough and chatty on arrival and final day. Only niggle was that whenever myself or my partner requested something it felt like an inconvenience to the hosts. Room - Quite outdated. Wallpaper coming off the wall in places. No window to open during the night apart from the one above the balcony door but unable to reach the window. Shower very small and unable to move easily within the bathroom as very compact. TV in room reasonable size. 2 available sockets near TV and an extension lead by one side of the bed. This place is good for a long weekend away but for a longer period it let's itself down.

We had a fantastic stay in a nice family friendly place. We even decided to extend our stay by one night and this was not a problem. Breakfast was a highlight and both our kids got fed well which is sometimes an issue for us. They have no specific parking but most places are like this.

We stayed here for 5 days and our hostess Joanne looked after us very well. The breakfast is a diet buster ! A great plus was that the teapot and milk jugs don't drip or dribble when poured, something even 5* hotels can't get right ! For a Blackpool break that won't bust your wallet its very hard to beat.
