The Withnell Hotel

A lovely little BnB with a friendly welcome from Billy who couldn’t do enough for us. . Excellent location, clean rooms, great facilities and a good breakfast. Would definitely recommend

Comms with the manager were good Parking to rear of house quite spacious but some do not park within lines that causes a problem – parking is £10 per car per day 12pm – 12pm and this is payable separately up font – don’t think its refundable. And it’s a similar cost to park in nearby car park The property also ‘requests’ that you pay £100 deposit secure your booking. I don't think this is such a bad thing to do – we were funded within three working days Apartment is based on the South Shore near the Pleasure Beach and the velvet coaster (local Wetherspoons). Then up a slight slope to front that has 2 blue pipes hanging out and some large purple shale which could be hard to navigate If you were less mobile There is a code for the front door and separate code for the key safe for your apartment. You will not receive these codes until an hour before your check in time We stayed in apartment one on the ground floor. Upon entering he looked quite smart but there's an overwhelming smell of damp – even though you cant see any mould. The kitchen is well equipped / sofas nice and clean and look new - everything looks clean and on trend. It's not until you start using things that you realise it's not as good as it looks. The heating is only operable for two hours maximum ours worked effectively but we did meet someone in another apartment and their heaters didn't work at all. Then noticed the damp / wet patches on the walls in four separate areas no idea where this is coming from but it's quite unpleasant. Didn't use most kitchen facilities at all really just wash some cups up and then found that the water from the sink drained into the alleyway because the pipe didn't quite go into the drain. It would also be useful to have a tea towel in the kitchen The bathroom looks OK but the sink is not fully attached to the wall and when you used the sink the water actually drained away onto the lino inside the bathroom on the floor! The bath side has moved well out of line. When using the shower if you want it to a temperature that's good it's literally so slow it's almost not worth the bother. You get provided for nice large bath towels but no hand towels for the bathroom and no foot mat in the bathroom which would be quite a handy addition. it would also be useful to have an anti slip mat in the shower. The bedrooms are OK both equipped with hangers but there's no draw space whatsoever. I didn’t really want to look at the pillows / quilts inside as some looked a bit ‘used’ There's also no table space to sit down and eat so as much as it seems to be made for families that's not so great when you have to eat when your knee with younger children. Also found a significant problem with the power to the lights - for example if you put the kettle on all the other lights were dim intermittently which is quite concerning. Looks OK and clean enough but definite issues electrically and drainage wise Had 2 televisions one in the main bedroom and one in the lounge b

What can we say 🤷 place is fantastic as are the hosts we have had some corkers in Blackpool but this is a wee diamond and so close to the sandcastle and South pier just literally round the corner .the rooms are spotless although small the breakfast is delicious have already recommended the hotel to other family .Will certainly be back
