    The owners at Withnell we’re lovely, very welcoming and nothing was to much trouble! The breakfast was great and the bed was so comfortable, me and my partner had a really good nights sleep! The Withnell Hotel is also a 2 minute walk from many attractions e.g Pleasure Beach and Sandcastle Waterpark! Would definitely stay at Withnell Hotel again :)

    A Little Gem!

    Billy and Maxine are excellent hosts, warm and welcoming, nothing too much trouble.The breakfast is outstanding, cereal,toast, juice all freely offered and the Full English highly recommended. It all made up for a slightly on the small side room which, let's be fair in Blackpool,you don't spend much time in! A great place to get your head down!

    Better than the Holiday Inn.

    I hated Blackpool with a passion & had always refused to go, but eventually gave in to the kids. I actually enjoyed my visit and it was interesting to see the improvements made, especially on the sea front. The Withnell was a big part of making my stay enjoyable. I wanted my kids to have the traditional 'Blackpool Experience' that I had as a child. The Withnell offered this and more. Billy & Maxine are excellent and very friendly hosts. The Hotel was good & the breakfast was excellent. Parking was not an issue and the location was great. You are right on the door step of the Pleasure Beach, the front, the South Pier and having The Velvet Coaster at the end of the street was really handy. I would recommend this Hotel. Thanks Billy/ Maxine Bil, Mo & Kids
