Guests say
The Sandcastle in Blackpool is highly praised for its spaciousness, excellent location near the Pleasure Beach and promenade, and well-equipped amenities, making it ideal for large families and groups. Guests consistently commend the host, Sally, for her exceptional communication and swift problem-solving. The property offers a homely atmosphere and thoughtful touches, with only minor issues such as occasional maintenance needs and pet odours noted. Overall, guests enjoyed comfortable stays and would happily return.
Most guests found the property clean and well-presented, with fresh linen and tidy rooms. However, one review mentioned dog hair and a strong pet smell, which required additional cleaning.
The location is frequently highlighted as a major advantage, being just minutes from the Pleasure Beach, water park, and seafront, with easy access to trams and local attractions.
Guests appreciated the spacious bedrooms, comfortable beds, and homely feel. Some noted the bathrooms were small for taller guests, and one mentioned the property was cold on arrival, but overall comfort was rated highly.
The property is described as very well-equipped, with ample kitchen facilities, en-suite bathrooms, free Wi-Fi, and entertainment options. Minor maintenance issues were quickly addressed by the host.
The host is repeatedly praised for her attentiveness and willingness to go above and beyond, including arranging a surprise birthday party for a guest. Please note that such thoughtful gestures are not guaranteed for every stay.

The property was located close to the beach and the local attractions. It was a perfect layout for large groups and each room had its own en suite. Unfortunately we don’t feel it was in the best area though as the street often smelt of cannabis and there were people out the front of the property next door smoking and drinking, although they caused no issues other than shouting during the night on one occasion. The property is very basic and not as clean as we would have liked it to be which did cause issues with having a crawling baby who had to have her clothes changed as they were more grubby than normal from crawling on a floor. We had to hoover a couple of the bedrooms before settling in. I would say that if you want basic living close to everything this is a perfect property.
