About The Rowan Hotel
For those who want straightforward, well-run accommodation rather than frills, The Rowan Hotel on Empress Drive in Blackpool fits the bill. It suits families, golfers, cyclists and anyone visiting the town's attractions who would rather spend on days out than on the room itself. Free on-site parking and a nearby tram stop make getting around simple, whether that means a day at the coast or an evening out.
Rooms are en-suite and include family options, kept clean and offering more space than many budget stays in the area. Guests get free WiFi, drinks available in the room, and access to a 24 hour reception. Breakfast is a highlight, with generous cooked options including pancakes that have earned particular praise. There's a bar on site with outdoor seating, useful for a quiet drink without having to head out.
The staff are consistently noted for being helpful and welcoming, which makes settling in easy from the start. Beyond the hotel, the surrounding area has plenty to fill a stay: a golf course, fishing, watersports, cycling and walking routes, plus nearby pubs, restaurants and entertainment. It's a practical base for exploring Blackpool without unnecessary extras.

What guests say
Late review from last weekend. Absolutely spot on only stayed 1 night but when we go back to Blackpool this would definitely be our choice. Rooms were spotless and the hosts Maddie John were fabulous. Breakfast was delicious and there is a tram stop right at the end of the road. Both me and my wife were very impressed. Thank you so much Garth & Lucy

This was my first visit here but about 3rd for my parents we came for the lego convention. it was lovely. Maddie and John made myself and my parents feel welcome. Nothing was to much trouble. Rooms were lovely to. Slept like a baby both nights I was here. Located in a quiet area and within walking distance for the tram. Breakfast was tasty. Owners are lovely. Will recommend to friends and would stay here again.
