The Golden Sands Hotel was a great wee stay. It was clean and in a safe enough area. Its location was just beside the Grand hotel which is a good landmark for getting off the tram. Jim the host was very nice and friendly, and went out his way to research food options for a gallstone diet. We would stay again.

Stayed here with our German Shepherd dog, stayed in room 2, pleasant spacious room, Little things that matter and made our stay very pleasant like loads of plugs for charging gadgets, quite a few door hooks for hanging jackets aswell as loads of hangers, huge dressing table and mirror for hair n make up, Easy checkin, couldn’t park in front of hotel but after parking in front for check in we had plenty of free spaces on the side roads, The owner was very lovely made us feel very welcome and explained everything we needed to know also our dog had lovely cuddles off her, We will definitely stay here again as the location is ideal for a lovely quiet walk for the dog and to the tower,

Arrived at this property the lady was very unwelcoming seemed to have her back up straight away. We stayed the first night, my friend had let our friend stay as they could not get into their b&b & were highly stressed & unconsolable at the time. They left early morning. We went for breakfast & the lady in front of everyone having their breakfast rudely asked for the keys & told us to get out. Disgusting behaviour, she was not willing to talk about the situation & told us to get out, she came up to the room whilst we were packing shouting & screaming at us to get out & was ringing the police. There was no need for this at all luckily we managed to get somewhere but we have not been refunded for the 2nd night stay we were due to have. This lady had no people skills I do not know how she runs a b&b. We tried to tell her she was a young girl walking the streets her reply was I don't care! I definitely would not recommend this place & will not return.

Possibly the best.

I have stayed in many small/medium sized B&B's in Blackpool and nearby locations. This is possibly the best. Perfect for my requirements.

Nice guest house.

A friendly welcome. Clean comfortable room with a fridge (nice touch). Breakfast times were limited, which was a bit restrictive but maybe that was just us. Parking is on street and of three nights we only got to park on the street once, the other two were on nearby streets. Good location with a great pub at end of road that did really good food at great prices. Tram stop within a 5 minute walk. Good cooked breakfast.
