Who is Westfield House best for?

If your ideal Blackpool weekend is a show, a drink and then a proper sleep, this is your stay. It holds a VisitEngland four-star rating and has a deliberately calm feel.

Group, stag and hen bookings are refused outright, which tells you most of what you need to know: it is for couples and small friend groups wanting the bars nearby but a hush at bedtime.

Rooms and facilities

As stated for the guest house:

  • Quality linen in the en-suite rooms
  • Fairtrade tea and coffee trays
  • A full breakfast
  • A lounge corner with a bar for a last drink
  • Non-smoking rooms
  • Discounted parking vouchers

Is Westfield House adults-only?

Yes: it is for LGBTQ+ adults only, and stag, hen and group parties are turned away.

Getting there and getting around

From Blackpool North it is about 6 mins on foot, a manageable walk with a bag, though a taxi may appeal late at night. The Prom at North Pier is 10 mins away and the Tower is 15 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?

Adults-only houses are generally calmer than a bar with rooms, which makes them a good choice if sleep matters as much as the nightlife. If Westfield House is full or not quite right, the nearest alternatives by walking time are The Belvedere, De-Lovely Hotel, Lu-Lu's Cabaret Lounge; the stays directory compares them all.

Booking tips

Because it is small, rooms go quickly for Pride and Illuminations. Contact them early, and ask about the parking vouchers if you are driving.

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://westfieldhousehotel.com/.
