The hotel is gorgeous and perfectly clean, has beautiful views of the garden and scenery. The setting is magnificent and convenient, very close to the nature reserve about a 20-minute walk away, and onsite restaurant. Besides, the property is located 3 km away from Genting Casino Blackpool. The room is pet-friendly and essentials you need, including an electric kettle, central heating, and an iron, is right there. The bed is nice, the bathroom is spotless. The staff is really helpful, as well as owner.
