The Croydon at a Glance
The Croydon is a 3-star guest house on Blackpool's North Shore, situated 30 metres from the beach. This family-run property offers free parking and a garden with sea views, a combination not common in city hotels. Guests receive a free full English breakfast each morning, prepared fresh and served in a spacious dining room.
Accommodation and Rooms
The Croydon has 10 en suite bedrooms, including family rooms that sleep three to four guests and twin rooms for two. Each room comes with a TV, tea and coffee facilities, and a DVD player available in select rooms. Families can book the Family Room (2 Adults + 2 Children) with bunk beds, while solo travelers have a dedicated Single Room option.
Dining and Bar
Breakfast at The Croydon is a full English with a variety of cereals, toast, and hot drinks, cooked to order and plated nicely. The on-site bar serves a wide range of beers, wines, and spirits at prices cheaper than many local pubs. Guests with dietary needs can request special menus, and the hosts accommodate early departures with packed options.
Location and Surroundings
Located on the North Shore, The Croydon is a 10-minute walk from a popular casino and within easy reach of Blackpool Tower and North Pier. A tram stop at the end of the street provides direct access to the Golden Mile and Pleasure Beach. The property sits in a quiet area away from the city-centre crowds, yet is only minutes from major attractions.
Personal Touches and Family Services
Hosts Jane and Steve personally greet each guest on arrival and offer services such as carrying luggage to rooms. On departure, they provide bottled water for each guest and sweets for children to enjoy on the journey home. The guest house also allocates parking spaces upon arrival and allows cars to remain after checkout for the day.
