Hotel Bridle Lodge Apartments (Blackpool, United Kingdom)

Located within easy walking distance of the seafront and dining options, this property won praise from visitors who were able to leave the car in the on-site car park before exploring the many attractions of Blackpool. Another bonus was that guests were within five minutes' walk of tram stops for hassle-free trips to the Blackpool Tower. Many reviewers said these apartments were located in a fairly quiet street. As it was a self-catering property, guests also appreciated the proximity of supermarkets.

The hosts reportedly had plenty of useful local knowledge to share with guests, who often described them as welcoming and helpful.

According to many reviewers, these spacious apartments weren't luxurious but were more than sufficiently clean and comfortable for a budget seaside getaway. They appealed to family groups in particular as there were separate bedrooms and additional bathrooms in some of the larger apartments. The well-equipped kitchens featured fridges, ovens, toasters and dining tables, enabling guests to prepare meals at their leisure. For many visitors, the property offered decent value for money as rates were usually affordable.

Some guests were disappointed that electricity wasn't included in the apartment rates, meaning they had to be armed with pound coins to top up the coin-operated meter.

Some critics felt certain apartments appeared a bit run down or as if they could do with the odd lick of paint. There were claims of maintenance issues like tired-looking furniture and bathrooms that would benefit from modernization.

Bathrooms that could have been more thoroughly cleaned and mould were among the cleanliness issues noted by some critics. There were also infrequent reports that pest control measures needed strengthening.
