The rooms are beautiful exactly like the pictures, the full place is beautiful. The location is great a little walk away from the centre but perfect to get away from the noise of the main strip. Unbelievably clean one of the most cleanest accommodations I have stayed in. The breakfast is beautiful. The host is great very relaxed and easy to talk to and quick to deal with issues which you won’t have. Overall made my full stay at Blackpool very comfortable and enjoyable not a single complaint. I would a thousand percent not hesitate in booking again.

By The Seaside is a beautiful nautical themed B&B. The couple who run it are amazing and went above and beyond for us all that stayed there for the football tournament. The room we had was spacious and had an ensuite shower/sink/toilet. The breakfast that you could help yourself too had an amazing range and there is something for everyone. The Full English (had a veggie option too) and Eggs Benedict were fantastic.

The best B&B in Blackpool me and my partner had such a lovely stay over the weekend and could not recommend By The Seaside enough! The room was so clean and comfy we could have spent the weekend in there and when getting ready there was a whole dressing table with a studio style white lamp which was PERFECT! As well as tea and coffee there was also a proper coffee machine which was a lovely edition. The host Denise made breakfast in the morning and we could not fault it- I had eggs benedict and it was unreal there was also plenty to choose from in the continental section. In the evening the bar was lovely and hosts were so welcoming and happy to chat with us Overall, it was a lovely stay, full of little details that pulled it all together and we would happily visit again!

Just stayed at By The Seaside Blackpool for a couple of nights. Stayed in Room 6 on the top floor. Very large spacious room with seating area. Mini bar, High quality tea and coffee tray with luxury biscuits, sweet jar! Beautiful B&B, lovely decor and everywhere is spotless. Had drinks in the bar where you can play your own music videos on the TV etc. All drinks were good prices. The breakfast was outstanding. Never seen such a choice of buffet items and then a breakfast menu cooked to order which was excellent quality. The hosts Denise and Steve were so welcoming. Would 100% stay again and would recommend to anyone looking for a quality place to stay in an excellent location. Thank you
