The Arthington

This is a great friendly guest house where nothing is too much trouble for Steve and Elaine. They also have a bonus of parking but I was lucky enough to get a space on the street. Offered tea or coffee on check in which was a lovely touch and a brief chat to explain everything. Steve very kindly took my case to my room and explained everything as it has a smart TV and also Amazon echo. The single room 6 is lovely with a double bed and has a great theme going on with a jeans headboard and pillows. The room and bathroom were spotless and the bed very comfortable. Also a well stocked hospitality tray. The breakfast menu is extensive with something for everyone and I also liked the fresh fruit and yogurt and freshly brewed coffee. I will definitely be booking again

My wife and I had another wonderful stay at the Arthington. We have been staying here twice a year for several years and have had a fantastic stay on every occasion. Steve and Elaine are the best hosts that you could wish for and the rooms are immaculate and very well equipped. The breakfast is lovely and the breakfast menu caters for all tastes and appetites. A reasonably priced and well stocked guest bar is also open in the evenings for residents, we didn't get the opportunity to have adrink this time but normally enjoy a drink and a chat with Steve and Elaine and often the other guests. We will be back again later in the year and would urge anyone looking for a place to stay in Blackpool to try here first. It's a two minute walk from St Chad's tram stop, so getting around is a doddle. Parking also available on request.

Elaine and Steve really are exceptional hosts who make you feel welcome the moment you arrive. There is literally nothing that they have not thought of from refillable drinks station, ear plugs, shower cap, toiletries, decaf and caffeinated drinks, a vastly stocked bar and so much more. We opted for the largest room with a super king bed which was very large by Blackpool standards and the attention to detail is fabulous. Breakfast is at a whole new level with cereals, a large array of fresh fruit, a variety of hot options which are delicious and freshly cooked. Then there’s toast with preserves and yoghurts. They also cater to dietary requirements with notice. We are dairy free and we could not of asked for more. Due to it being Christmas the guest house was decorated beautifully with sweets everywhere. It’s like being at home you feel so comfortable. To add to everything else the tram stop is right at the end of the road along with the beach. Just perfect. Thank you for a terrific stay 🙏
