    Pros +

    • The owner and her son was absolutely lovely. Even moved their car so we could park ours. Repeatedly as we was in and out.
    • The staff were friendly and welcoming staff. The bed were Comfy and the room was clean
    • Well sheets wasn't changed on my long stay. Only twice. Stay no were to be seen only on check in toilet took a while to flush away. Bed was comfy I had the same room as last year for same price think a double bed was just placed in same room. For the money not good and no lift. For a man of my age lugging me case up stairs again not

    Cons -

    • The bed was uncomfortable and there was no breakfast and no bar. Although the owner Christine is now having to care for her husband as he’s had a major stroke. Absolutely heartbreaking
    • The room was small, cramped, and outdated. There was barely enough space to move around, especially with two people getting ready at the same time. Additionally, the lack of soundproofing meant we could hear everything from the neighboring rooms and downstairs. The room was freezing cold, as the weather outside was poor, with strong winds and heavy rainfall. We noticed a gap in the framework that allowed cold air to enter. As a result, we decided to leave after just one night due to the bad weather. Overall, the hotel is in need of major refurbishment.
    • No lift. And staff not always around.

    8SamanthaPosted on: 8-12-2024

    Close to beech Comfy bedsLovly shower room

    No side tables/cupbards/draws so livid out of oht bags for two nights, very tight and close for a family room of 5 felt was no space, was all ontop of each other, no brekafast although they did serve breakfast but our room didnt qualify after paying £300 for two nights! and no wifi worked ethier and t.v was very very small, only got given 1 cup to share between 5 of us and small little portable kettle which would fill one cup! Al only had two sachets coffee two milk when again was a family of 5, and if wanted it refilling was a charge of £2

    The room was clean and the beds were comfy the bathroom was newly decorated.

    The room was too small for a family room and it was three floors up and no lift so we had to carry suitcases up three flights of stairs.There was no breakfast included and there was a bar but it wasn't in use

    8LauraceehandsyPosted on: 8-8-2024

    Lady who runs the benson is lovely she also let us check in early, bedrooms are good shower and bathroom good.

    We booked a small double for two adults bed was snug for us that was our own doing but mattress was too soft could feel the slats.

    10GeorgePosted on: 6-23-2024

    The location was just right and Hosts found us a parking spot at the site of the property. We did not have any meals there. Thankyou

    10PatriciaPosted on: 5-6-2024

    This is a little gem highly recommend spotless good location very pleasant hosts ?

    9DarrenPosted on: 1-3-2024

    The friendly hospitality and accommodating attitude of the the hosts was above and beyond. Everything asked for was delivered, very unique '⭐ as it was raining the the outdoor porch was a welcome shelter from the elements for smokers, the only hotel offering this facility on the road as i noticed when others had to brolly.up. Quality place quality people.

    Nothing to mention

    The hosts were really nice, friendly and attentive.

    The room was very small for a double. Room 10. The window handle was broken, it wouldn't close. Unfortunately we had a storm so the wind was blowing through, also allowing sand in making the window area and bedside table dirty. It was NYE so wasn't going to wake them at 1245 because they have children. We reported in the morning. The young man apologised. We fixed the blind on arrival. The bed side drawers hadn't been cleaned inside. More attention to detail cleaning is needed but the shower and toilet were clean.. End of the day we paid £60 per night for 2 nights so didnt expect too much but couldve been a little better. Im sure other rooms are probably bigger. The hosts were lovely and we had a great weekend.

    10ElainePosted on: 11-6-2023

    10LloydPosted on: 9-4-2023

    Very clean and comfortable rooms and a wonderful landlady

    Only drawback is the parking which is basically none existent in the area.

    5ColinPosted on: 9-3-2023

    Hotel was fine for the money

    Blackpool is disgusting totally run down, I don't think I'll ever go again, move 100 yards from dissapointing sea front and the place is a total hovel

    8SmithPosted on: 8-15-2023

    Good friendly staff, clean comfortable room.

    Unfortunately no food available, due to family circumstances.

    8ColinPosted on: 8-13-2023

    Lovely clean and friendly

    Classic family room 3 beds very small compared to some in blackpool but ok

    10McewanPosted on: 8-3-2023

    The staff were friendly, attentive and very understanding. Our room was exactly like the pictures shown on booking.com. Bed was comfy and the room was clean.

    Theres nothing that the staff could have done about this but no parking was a bit of a pain. However there is parking not far from the hotel.
