    great staff
    free wi-fi

    This place suits me perfectly. It offers free wi-fi, luggage storage, and a lovely leisure room. The staff were great, especially helping my elderly parents during our first stay. I can’t wait to return for Christmas!

    clean room

    unresolved maintenance issues
    communication problems
    basic facilities

    A very basic stay that was affordable and met my essential needs. The room was clean-smelling, and my grandchildren loved the bunk beds. issues like a sliding door and toilet leaks went unresolved, making our stay less comfortable. The manager was pleasant, but poor communication about maintenance was frustrating.

    A Disappointing Experience, but Lessons Learned

    Our stay was marred by poor cleanliness standards and lacked proper amenities. It felt more like a hostel than a hotel. One tip, arrive at check-in time to avoid delays, and consider nearby options for dining as there are better choices outside.

    local eats
    quick access
    friendly attempts
    dirty toilet
    confusing locks

    Driftwood may not be a five-star experience, but when it comes to local eats, we were close to gems like Harry's Chicken & Pizza Bar, serving up cheeky bites just a short stroll away. Lytham House Kitchen? You could throw a stone and hit it! Plus, the staff tried their best amidst chaos, a tip of the hat for effort!

    Now for the not-so-fun bits. The toilet was like a mystery novel, leaking and unclean, and finding out it was a non-smoking room that smelled like a tobacco factory was a minor tragedy. And don’t get me started on the keys. confusing locks made it feel like I was on a treasure hunt.

    clean bedding
    accessible spaces
    charming atmosphere
    improper facilities
    limited accessibility

    The Driftwood offered a charming atmosphere with fresh, clean bedding and accessible spaces that made our family feel right at home, especially for my elderly mum.

    Lack of proper bathroom facilities.

    friendly staff
    great location
    dirty bathroom
    broken facilities

    the location was super close to everything fun, and the staff were friendly when u could find them. I loved that it was cheap, perfect for budget vacation. easy access to local shops around. decent amount of space for my family, enough to get by.

    the toilet kept leaking everywhere and it was so dirty with dust and dead flies everywhere. also the tv and sliding door to the toilet just didn't work and I felt ignored when I tried to get help.

    affordable accommodation
    poor cleanliness
    uncomfortable bed

    The stay was affordable and the view of the Blackpool Tower was pretty! 🏰 the cleanliness left a lot to be desired, with an odd smell and discomfort from the bed.

    Pet-friendly and warm hospitality

    We enjoyed our stay at this cozy hotel that truly welcomes pets, which made traveling with our puppy a breeze. The owner was vibrant and engaging, making us feel right at home. Despite some minor issues with the room size, the freshly cooked breakfast was a delightful highlight of our stay. improving the cleanliness in the rooms could elevate the overall experience.

    homemade breakfast
    comfy lounge
    hit-or-miss wi-fi

    Had a lovely time at this cozy place where I enjoyed a homemade breakfast every morning and sank into the comfy lounge area with a good book. The only bummer was that the Wi-Fi was a bit hit-or-miss. I’d definitely recommend it for a chill getaway! 🌟

    only good thing
    uncomfortable silence

    But we were so freaked out by how dirty everything was. It looked like a crime scene in the bathroom, and then the TV didn't even work. You can imagine sitting in silence with the kids, just awkward and uncomfortable.

    clean room
    friendly atmosphere
    fresh cooked breakfast

    Strongly recommend for a weekend

    Clean room, friendly atmosphere, we enjoyed the fresh cooked breakfast included and were pleased with the warm and comfortable heating throughout our stay. It was conveniently located only 4 km from the nearest airport.

    Nothing to complain about.
