Hotel Blackpool

As a Hotel in Blackpool the New Kent B&B Hotel was built in 1919 although the deeds say that the land that our hotel was eventually built on was acquired back in 1893. So why was there a 26 year wait until completion? I am still trying to find out why however people back in the late 1800′s first purchased land from the council as an investment before any building took place.

Back in the day when Blackpool was seen as the place to be and rich people throughout the UK sort land and property companies did not produce lots and mass produce housing. The richer people of the UK bought land from the council and built there own homes and due to this I would say Blackpool has some of the most sturdy and well built houses throughout the UK.

The New Kent B&B Hotel was an actual purpose built Guest house and has never been used just as a family home. The property has developed over the years however all rooms are now en-suite except room one. (A smaller double bed in a box room)

Blackpool hotels vary in many ways, from the small family owned Bed and Breakfast (B&B) guest house to the more commercially conglomerate run hotels like the Hilton Hotel and travel lodges that are springing up every where.

So how does one choose whether to stay in a B&B or a more commercial establishment? Blackpool has been built its reputation on a warm friendly welcome, traditional home cooked cuisine from people who actually own and operate the B&B hotels themselves. This I do believe gives the Blackpool B&B hotelier a massive advantage over any commercially run business, it is more personal and satisfying.

Our Blackpool B&B Hotel versus a Travel lodge?

There are many advantages in staying in our hotel or other local B&B’s in the North Shore rather than any sort of travel lodge or travel Inn. Not all hotels are the same however we feel our Blackpool Hotel out performs a travel lodge or Inn by the following reasons:

Hospitality
Warmth
Friendliness
Cleanliness

A fresh and hearty breakfast (included in the room rate)
A more welcoming price that is definitely Value for money
FREE Internet access

How do we know we are offering our service far better than a Globalized Conglomerate are able? Well it is not everyday you will see the owner of the company (ME) being supervised by the MD’s (my mother and wife!). One can not say that about any conglomerate that I have ever known….

Our rooms are clean, fresh, compact (you could not really have a game of football with your mate using our pillows) and they are very homely and relaxing.
