Banksia Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 We are taking my 93 year old mother to Blackpool for a weeks holiday when we come over from Oz. I have looked at self catering accommodation on line but cannot find the information I need to make an informed decision. Is there anyone in S/F who can recommend either a caravan site, apartment, flat or cottage at a reasonable rate. We aren't going in the school holiday period by the way. Now I'll tell you all before you ask why on earth we want to take Mum to Blackpool. It's her choice not ours, we love Cornwall but she wants to go somewhere where there is plenty of people, shops and entertainment. Good on her I say !!

Rich Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I've been to Blackpool a total of 5 times in my near 31 year life.. And loved it every time.,, Last time was when I booked Mum and Dad into a 4 star Hotel just outside Blackpool for their 30th Wedding Anniversary a couple of years back, I went along as well...

czechroman Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Do you want north central or south accomodation?. Weve been in 1 up the south end whats good. Id have to find out what its called though 1st! , .Do you want b+b, bb+e tea, or self catering?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minkey Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Can't actually recommend any specific hotels etc, but would suggest heading down the south end and staying in Lytham St Annes. It's A LOT nicer than central Blackpool. It's quite a rich area so it might be a bit more expensive for accomodation, but it's also a bit of a favourite with the older generation, so shops, cafes etc will probably be more to your mum's tastes than the center.

Rich Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Was it expensive and what was it like Rich ? For a 4 star it wasn't THAT expensive iirc, only cost me just over £200 for the 3 of us anyway.. Nice place as well, little Holiday Village type thingy with a Hotel in the middle of it which we stayed in, and lots of little Chalets/Flatlets dotted around, well worth the money IMO I just can't remember what they called it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
