Hotel Branston Lodge (Blackpool, United Kingdom)

Most guests really enjoyed the breakfast, which featured juices, pastries, cereals and tasty full English hot options that were cooked-to-order. The hosts were often described as accommodating, welcoming and friendly with a strong focus on guests' comfort and plenty of useful local knowledge to share. Families often said they were well looked after and new arrivals frequently said they were helped with their bags. Some travellers called this smaller property a little gem due to its customer service with a personal touch.

The rooms weren't luxurious but were cleaned to a high standard, according to many reviewers. They were also described as cosy, spacious and comfortable. Many visitors felt this guest house offered good value for money as room rates were competitive.

Guests often liked the way this property was on a fairly quiet street just off the southern end of the promenade yet near enough to public transport links that getting around Blackpool was still straightforward. It was also conveniently within walking distance of the railway station and seafront. The free parking was an advantage for motorists.

There were reports of occasionally weak water pressure in some of the showers. It was also claimed some showers took a while to warm up.

Although most guests said breakfast was really tasty, some hungry diners claimed the cooked options could have been more plentiful. Some family groups said they would have appreciated it if breakfast service had begun a little earlier on.

During peak periods, some late-arriving motorists were unable to use the free on-site parking as there wasn't space. Some motorists had to scour the surrounding area for alternative parking.
