Who is Welhorny's best for?

This is a niche stay: men only, adults only and naturist, operating on a membership basis with house rules. It targets gay men looking for a sociable, clothing-optional break.

Party nights and themed weekends fill the bar, among them bear and pup events. If you would rather have a quiet, private house, there are calmer places on the stays page.

Getting there and getting around

From Blackpool North it is about 3 mins on foot, so you can arrive by train and be checked in quickly. The Prom at North Pier is 8 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?

Men-only stays set their own tone, so read the house rules before you book and make sure the atmosphere is what you want. If Welhorny's is full or not quite right, the nearest alternatives by walking time are Mardi Gras, Q Accommodation, Trades Hotel and Bar; the stays directory compares them all.

Booking tips

Join the members' system when you book and read the house rules. Themed weekends sell out, so contact the guest house early, especially for Pride.

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://welhornys.com/.
