Who is Windsor House best for?
Windsor House is run by owners Paul and Craig and welcomes gay guests warmly; its own listing says homophobia is not tolerated. That makes it a comfortable choice if you want to feel at ease from the moment you check in.
It is mixed rather than men-only, so it suits couples and friends alike. Pride weekend bookings are reportedly taken by phone so the house can build a lively, very gay atmosphere.
Because it sits right on Dickson Road, you can walk to Funny Girls and the neighbouring bars in moments, then come back to a proper cooked breakfast the next morning.
Rooms are heated and en suite, so it works in the colder months as well as summer, and the Illuminations season is a good time to visit if you like the lights.

Ring to book, especially for Pride, since weekend requests are reportedly handled by phone. The price range above is a third-party estimate, so ask for a quote. No website or phone number is on file, so find the current contact details first.
Rooms go early for Blackpool Pride and the Illuminations, so book as soon as you know your dates. Prices change, so always confirm directly with the guest house. Compare options in the stays directory.
