Who is Pride Lodge best for?
Pride Lodge is the one to pick if you want somewhere friendly and sociable but not rowdy. The house says all are welcome rather than limiting itself to men, so couples, mixed friend groups and solo travellers all fit.
You will find it among the older guest-house streets between the station and Dickson Road. Arriving by train is simple, and Funny Girls and the Flying Handbag are both close by.
Rooms and facilities
Inside, expect:
- An in-room smart TV and fridge, with a light breakfast brought to the room
- Guest use of the sauna, a sunbed and the gym
- An outdoor hot tub from about April to early October
- A local-venues discount card, plus standing tickets for Funny Girls
- Cut-price Banks Street car park passes from reception
Is Pride Lodge men-only or adults-only?
It presents itself as mixed and welcoming to everyone, not men-only. Nothing we hold confirms an adults-only rule, so ask if children are coming along.

Getting there and getting around
From Blackpool North it is about 1 min on foot, so you can arrive by train and be checked in quickly. The Prom at North Pier is 9 mins away and the Tower is 12 mins, so a sea-air stroll before dinner is easy to fit in. The safety guide has sensible tips for getting home after dark.
Is it the right fit?
A mixed LGBTQ+ stay is the easiest option for friends who want a welcoming base without a single rule for everyone. If Pride Lodge is full or not quite right, the nearest alternatives by walking time are Q Accommodation, Mardi Gras, Trades Hotel and Bar; the stays directory compares them all.
Booking tips
Event weekends carry a minimum of three nights, while midweek visits of two nights or longer can earn a reduction. Reception is manned 10am to 7pm Monday to Saturday and 11am to 5pm Sunday, with WhatsApp outside those hours, so message if your train is late.
Rooms go early for Blackpool Pride and the Illuminations, so book as soon as you know your dates. Prices and availability change, so always check the venue's own site or phone before you pay: https://www.pridelodge.com/.
