Number One B&B
Blackpool has a reputation for being somewhat cheap and cheerful. This is mainly because historically, it came to prominence as a location for good value holidays for Northern working class people. Because it is possible to pay under £100 for a week's overseas holiday in the sun, Blackpool has had to adapt and evolve, and we believe it has done so with reasonable success, partly through improvements in quality, although the typical media pose is to knock Blackpool as a leading example of cheap and tacky.
In addition to its cheap and cheerful parts, there are a number of things about Blackpool which are of very high quality, apart from us of course!

Number One in Blackpool
Mark and Claire Smith used to own and run The Old Coach House in Dean Street, South Shore, Blackpool. This was an award winning guest house, which appeared in the top 10 on several lists of the best B&Bs in Britain. You might struggle to find their website, as they are far better at catering than they are at web promotion.
Number One is located near our office at 1 St. Luke's Road, Blackpool, FY4 2EL, Telephone 0044 - (0)1253 343901
We called in to say hello, and were given a very warm welcome, and a tour round two of the three bedrooms, the other was occupied at the time. We were very impressed by the quality and style of the decorations and fittings.
The only thing we did not like about this bijou hotel is the fact that it is so close to us we will never get an excuse to stay there.

Number One in Britain
Certainly, if their old place made it to the top ten lists of quality B&B's in Britain, then we would not be surprised to see their new place elected to the #1 position. We would love to find an excuse to stay there.

Pleasure Beach
Just far enough away. a few minutes walk, from Blackpool Pleasure Beach, one of Britain's premier tourist attractions, number one is peacefully and quietly located.

Blackpool International Airport
Only about 500 to 600 metres away from the airport, which now proudly describes itself as international. the airport is at the south end of Lytham Road, while Number One is on a Lytham Road corner site. We actually expected its door to be on Lytham Road, but it is hidden away in its own world behind a large green hedge.

Best of Blackpool
Number One features on our Best of Blackpool page, and rightly so.

Worst of Blackpool
We certainly do not think Blackpool is perfect, so we will be adding a page about some of its worst features.
