Brilliant wee hotel, nice and friendly staff, Linda the owner was welcoming and easy to talk to, couldn't have asked for a better manager!. Only thing was there were a few wee cob webs in the bathroom and above the bed in the corners of the room, other than that was brilliant, breakfast was on point too. Would highly recommend The Halifax Hotel

Outstanding hosts and nothing was to much trouble. More than happy to provide information on all the local amenities. Rooms were very clean and tidy and the breakfast was outstanding, just what the doctor ordered after a night out enjoying what Blackpool has to offer. All eight of the group thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would highly recommend to any potential guests and say this B&B is a must.... All you need on the doorstep with a nice friendly B&B to return to...Quality....
