Who is The B&B Blackpool best for?

A no-fuss base for people who would rather spend on the night out. It suits solo travellers, couples on a budget and anyone who wants to be in the middle of the guest-house streets.

It draws visitors from the LGBTQ+ scene without being gay-only, so expect a mixed crowd.

Getting there and getting around

From Blackpool North it is about 5 mins on foot, a manageable walk with a bag, though a taxi may appeal late at night. The Prom at North Pier is 9 mins away and the Tower is 14 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 The B&B Blackpool is full or not quite right, the nearest alternatives by walking time are The Belvedere, Chaps Hotel, Lu-Lu's Cabaret Lounge; the stays directory compares them all.

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: http://www.thebandbblackpool.co.uk/.
