Excellent property and great value for money! Traditional room was very clean. Huge bed. En-suite modern and very clean. Everything in working order. Great quiet little street with plenty parking spaces. Hotel situated in the quieter North side of the town which suited us. About a mile walk from town center.

The room was spotless and massive! We had space for a playpen inside! It felt like it had just been refurbished! Deco was quite quirky and genuine, we loved it! Really well equipped with cups/glasses/ kettle/ coffee/milk etc. plenty of hangers, good size tv screen and plenty of windows for good vent!

Staff was awesome. They managed to welcome us in while respecting our privacy and giving us so much space!
Genuinely pet friendly and supportive. Just for your info, not only the endless beaches or the promenade, but Our dog had the time of his life too as just on the left hand (Gynn Square) there is an enclosed field he could run off the lead! The pub by the roundabout (The Gynn) is dog friendly too and family run with homemade food. You do not get that that often anymore!

Location is on spot as it is just 15/20 minutes away by foot from the Blackpool Tower/North Pier. So, we either walked or use the Tram, and you don’t get all the noise and craziness from the main roads/promenade. Coming from a daily commute of one hour+ driving this was actually quite relaxing!
Plus, as we visited off season, parking was not a problem either as we parked right by the door!

If we were come back to Blackpool we will definitively check their capacity when planning the trip!

From the minute we walked in, we was felt really really well we treated was really happy with the stay. I’m giving it 10 out of 10 cause I’m very happy with the place. It was lovely and spotlessly clean the bed was lovely and comfy. Nothing was too much trouble.. they no longer do cooked breakfast though which was a little bit of a letdown for me but not a problem. The guy dealt with it in a really good way so I was happy with that as well. Would I stop here again? yes 100% really enjoyed our day.

Overall nice stay for 3 nights. Quiet and easy access for trams along to tower etc. close to shops just a 5 minute walk. Jim who runs the place pleasant guy and has a good wee place. Beds comfy enough and warm. Water pressure in toilet not great for a shower a drawback. We liked the location as it was further along from the main drag but as i mentioned tram stop only a 5 minute walk away. Would stay again as out the way of all the noise along the road although we did go along everyday but good to return to some peace.

The Golden Sands Hotel was a great wee stay. It was clean and in a safe enough area. Its location was just beside the Grand hotel which is a good landmark for getting off the tram.

Jim the host was very nice and friendly, and went out his way to research food options for a gallstone diet. We would stay again.

Stayed here with our German Shepherd dog, stayed in room 2, pleasant spacious room,
Little things that matter and made our stay very pleasant like loads of plugs for charging gadgets,
quite a few door hooks for hanging jackets aswell as loads of hangers, huge dressing table and mirror for hair n make up,
Easy checkin, couldn’t park in front of hotel but after parking in front for check in we had plenty of free spaces on the side roads,
The owner was very lovely made us feel very welcome and explained everything we needed to know also our dog had lovely cuddles off her,
We will definitely stay here again as the location is ideal for a lovely quiet walk for the dog and to the tower,

Arrived at this property the lady was very unwelcoming seemed to have her back up straight away. We stayed the first night, my friend had let our friend stay as they could not get into their b&b & were highly stressed & unconsolable at the time. They left early morning. We went for breakfast & the lady in front of everyone having their breakfast rudely asked for the keys & told us to get out. Disgusting behaviour, she was not willing to talk about the situation & told us to get out, she came up to the room whilst we were packing shouting & screaming at us to get out & was ringing the police. There was no need for this at all luckily we managed to get somewhere but we have not been refunded for the 2nd night stay we were due to have. This lady had no people skills I do not know how she runs a b&b. We tried to tell her she was a young girl walking the streets her reply was I don't care! I definitely would not recommend this place & will not return.

Parking is on street and of three nights we only got to park on the street once, the other two were on nearby streets. Good location with a great pub at end of road that did really good food at great prices. Tram stop within a 5 minute walk. Good cooked breakfast.

Unhappy customer.

When we got there we were told breakfast wasn’t included but I had checked with hotels.com when I booked it, that it was & the owners wanted £5 per breakfast from us. I phoned hotels.com immediately & spoke to 2 people there who confirmed a free breakfast was provided. I put hotels.com onto the owners twice to discuss but each time, the owners told hotels.com that it was not included. In the end hotels.com agreed to refund us the money subject to sending them the receipt. The visit did not start well & made me feel awkward. The mirror in the bathroom was too high for me, I could only see the upper part of my face in it (I am 5 ft 2 in). Where you hang your clothes was also too high for me. I could just about reach it on tip toe. The heating was on really early in the morning but went off at 8am so it felt cold. The owner said she would adjust it but don’t think it was changed as it was cold in the morning. There was no heating in the bathroom. She gave us a small heater but that didn’t work.

Faulty Towers, not couple friendly

Where do I start with this B&B, we booked this as a last minute deal as we had a dog. We ended up leaving the hotel early as the lady owner was a vile person. Do not leave anything valuable in your room as they will go in your room (even when the do not distrub sign is on the door) and rummage through your personal things.

We have put a complaint into hotels.com and credit card company

Great value guest house

This is a great little guest house in a quiet street at the quieter end of Blackpool with superb hospitality. For dog owners there is a park by the Gynn pub for toilet trips though to be honest it's very secluded and though I had no problems I was a little nervous at night. The beach in front of the hotel is also dog friendly. We didnt manage to park in the street but there is street parking parrallel to the Hilton - dont let the faded double yellows put you off. Room was good (though quirkily fitted out) and it was great to have a fridge. The only downside was the toilet which was rather temperamental and had a loose seat but nothing to lose any sleep over. If blackpool were more dog friendly this would be our choice of guest house however i now believe the town is just not somewhere you should take your dog. We'll no doubt return but to Lytham/st Anne's where humans seem to take second place to furry friends :)

Pleasantly surprised...

First time we've stayed here- Warm welcome, friendly owners, and found the double room modern and very clean. Breakfast was excellent with a wide choice of items. Our dog agrees with us too.
One criticism (not the fault of the owners!)- Parking on the road outside the Guest House can be difficult. We found plenty of spaces that were 200m from the premises, however, if you are travelling by car, my advice is to try and check-in and park your car before 4pm, as after that time, on-street parking outside the Guest House is chock-a-block with other resident's cars, as they return from their work.
Really impressed with this Guest House- for the price we paid, we WILL be back. 5 Stars !

The room was very spacious and the facilities were good. Plenty of sockets, wardrobe space sufficient for a short stay (would need to bring more hangers with you if staying longer than a couple of nights) Breakfast was very nice (although I would have preferred fresh mushrooms instead of tinned) otherwise it was lovely and plentiful.
