Lovely clean room with a comfortable bed. Was only a small room but had everything we needed and all for a great price. Breakfast was also available but we wasn’t advised on this. The accommodation is across the road from an overnight stay carpark. Only negative was no hot water for a shower but we were up late so that could be a possible reason.
5 to 10 minute walk from Blackpool town centre and 10 to 15 minute walk from the train station.

Guests need to accept most buildings in Blackpool are old, taking that into accout I cannot fault the Shining Diamond on the cleanliness of our room. Bedding and towels were spotless. Bathroom exceptionally clean. Breakfast was served promptly, well cooked and hot. Hosts Steve and Dawn two lovely people made us feel very welcome.....the property is literally a minutes walk away from the coach station and 10 minutes walk into the main part of the town for entertainment and shopping....

It was Halloween night when I arrived and I was treated by two hosts dressed up in Beetle Juice costumes. Plus the hotel had been well decorated for Halloween. The bedroom I had was large enough for one person, and included an ensuite. For some reason the water pipes groaned quite a bit, especially after a shower or flushing the toilet. I guess it is the age of the property, which gives it charm. The room was also clean with a working tv and hot shower.

The hosts were very pleasant and looked after me well. The included breakfast was of a good standard and served promptly between 8:00 to 09:00 each morning.

It is worth mentioning that the premises is very close to the town centre car parks and the town centre itself. It is approximately a 5-10mins walk to the Blackpool Tower/Winter Gardens. So many restaurants and pubs/clubs are in easy walking distance.

For the price of the accommodation, this is a good find and if I travel to Blackpool again, I will give it consideration. It is always good to know who your hosts are, even if they look like Beetle Juice 😜

A shining diamond of a break

We had a great time with Steve and Dawn. The hotel was clean the welcome was warm. The shining diamond is just a short walk to both the sea front and the town centre. First class breakfast and we will return. Which is the best recommendation I can give. Thank you Steve and Dawn

Excellent Bed and Breakfast

I would like to thank Steve for being a wonderful host during my stay at The Shining Diamond. Due to an early evening commitment, I was unable to arrive in the normal hours to check guests in but he was happy for me to arrive late and even left a football match he was watching to let me in.

The room was really good with a comfy bed and excellent shower. Breakfast was also really good with most of the ingredients from a local butcher. Lovely to have it cooked fresh as well.

It can be so hard to find a decent bed and breakfast in Blackpool but this is one of the best and will be the first one I check out on my next visit.

Great stay!

We made a last minute booking as decided to kids the away for the day/night in Blackpool.

Check in was simple and the owner took everyone’s temperature on arrival and our breakfast order for the following morning.

Our family room was a plenty big enough for a our stay and the room was clean and the beds comfy and had tea and coffee facilities.

After our long day out when went back to the guest house and sat in the bar area which doubles up as the breakfast area which is a lovely decorated large room. We had a few drinks and chatted with the owners who couldn’t do enough to accommodate us.

We booked a breakfast slot for 9am and it was ready for us within mins of us taking a seat and everyone really enjoyed it.

The location is a 3min walk to the parade and coral island so it’s very central.

There are a few places to park and we parked on Hornby street which was a 5min walk and £7.50 for 24 hours. There is parking closer by but we arrived at 1.30 and it was full. You can look for street free parking too.

We wouldn’t hesitate to book here again.
