Stretton Hotel is the best place we've stayed in yet going to Blackpool. Very friendly staff and the bar was reasonably priced. The room we booked was a 3 bed studio with a sea view, beds were very comfy with an ensuite shower room. Breakfast was included in the price and even though it was really busy and had to wait to be served we would be back. The only criticism I have is there were no shelves to put clothes on, there was minimum hanging space but not enough for 3 of us. The sink for washing was next to the TV which was a bit awkward when in the morning we were gurgling in front of each other!
Stayed here last year and we thought it was great. A little old fashioned but, for the price, we thought it was really good value. The view we had from our room was fantastic. The breakfast was really generous. It was warm and we felt we had a great deal. Tried to book again this year but the heating had gone. We will be back here again tho.
Stayed here 13/10/17. Lovely friendly manager took time to speak to us and our 2 girls. Had a great Seaview in our family room. Lovely breakfast. Polite and helpful staff. Will definitely stay again.
The bedroom was a good size and although the decor a little dated there's everything you need and it was lovely and clean. The staff at reception, bar, housekeeping and breakfast were all friendly and polite. This was the first time my daughter had been in a B&B and its been a fantastic experience because of the staff, customer service at its very best x
Christine the manager made sure my little girl had the best birthday, nothing was too much trouble and loads of extras thrown in for her. The staff here are all lovely and the hotel has a very relaxed feel to it. The breakfast was lovely, the rooms very clean and comfortable with a very generous tea coffee station. We can't wait to go back next year
Had a great long weekend here for our entire dance group, rooms were cosy and staff have gone above and beyond to make us welcome. My family have really enjoyed it here and would definitely come back in the future. Pretty sure the whole dance group who stayed feel the same
