10 / 10
Apr 2011, Jane +Alan

This our fourth time at the Cresta we would recommend this friendly guest house to everyone. Rooms comfortable and clean grub great home cooking both breakfast and evening meals.Dave and Sandra make you feel very welcome in their guest house.

  • Advice: If your going to a show book before you go and have a nice meal at the Cresta before you go.

Nov 2009, Mike Driscoll

One word sums up this wonderful family run hotel. QUALITY!
Quality food quality rooms and above all quality people!
Its a real home from home. Dave, Sanra and the two kids still at home, Jamie and Lizzie made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived, even Charlie the family dog was pleased to see us!
Nothing was to much trouble for them and they even arranged a full roast dinner for us that we hadnt ordered until the last minute.
Rooms were spotless and comfortable and we had such a great time that we have already booked to go back for the New Years celebrations!
QUALITY!

Mar 2009, Familyfun80

Our family of 18 stayed at the Cresta to celebrate our Mums 80th. The rooms were clean, the bar well stocked and the food fantastic. We organised an evening meal for us all at the hotel and the food was delicious. Nothing was too much trouble for Dave, Sandra and the family. They even decorated the dining roon with balloons and streamers.
Please try thsi wonderful hotel. It was value for money, homely and friendly.

Sep 2008, Mrs R NICHOLSON

after deciding to return to blackpool we thought we would stay at the cresta hotel in withnell road again having stayed their for our first anniversary. we were made so welcome the first time therefore felt it was the right choice. as soon as we arrived we knew this was to be the case. we were made to feel part of the family and they really went out their way to help in any matter. the breakfasts are fantastic and the rooms immaculate.
all in all we have no complaints about this hotel or the family and would highly recommend it to other families or couples
we definately will be staying their again in the near future. in fact already in the process of deciding some dates for november break.

The Cresta Hotel What can I say?...

The Cresta Hotel
What can I say?
Stayed at this hotel back in May and had a lovely Two night weekend break, a really enjoyable experience. Rooms are lovely and clean,well furnished, cleaned daily, and you couldn’t ask for better hosts than Dave & Sandra, their family also making us very welcome. A tasty breakfast being a perfect kickstart to the day.
Recommended this to our Daughter & Husband for their Anniversary weekend in August , and we have all just returned from our Second Two night Weekend break. All the rooms are now newly decorated, Its just like a home from home atmosphere being there.
Will definitely be back, and will recommend this to any friends or family planning to stay in Blackpool.

As a frequent visitor to blackpool i have stayed in this hotel a number of times in the last 2 years it was highly recommended to me by a friend.
I continually find the hotel very clean and tidy and thoughtout my visits i have noticed that the owners are upgrading the facilites to accomodate families and couples alike. I have always found the owners very helpful and always available to help.
I have recommended this hotel to my friends and family a few have already stayed and found it the same standard as myself. I am now looking forward to my next visit to blackpool and to the Cresta hotel in november

Sep 2008, Miss L Hannant

My partner and myself decided on a last minute break to blackpool.
The cresta hotel looked very inviting from the outside and we decided to take a chance as previous trips to blackpool have been unsucessful.
The owners were very welcoming and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The room was very clean and tidy and during our two night stay was cleaned daily. Of previous stays in blackpool I have never had a breakfast so filling and tasty.
I would definitely reccomend this accomodation to my friends and family, and I wouldnt hesitate to return here in the future myself.

Sep 2008, Mrs S Tesh

Me my husband and my son visited the cresta hotel this year and were more than impressed! The rooms were to a very high standard of decoration and extremely clean. The owners were very friendly and polite on our arrival and for the rest of the stay.
Our room was cleaned on a daily basis except for the day we stayed in due to rain, so obviously wasnt cleaned as they didnt want to disturb us.
Breakfast was brill as my son is a fussy eater and we were asked what he would like and they cooked his to order, which is good as quite a few kids can be fussy about what they eat.
The room we were in was more than big enough for the three of us as was the bathroom, we always had hot water and the heating would be put on if we asked, but as it was summer we didnt need to ask.
As a blackpool bed and breakfast we were very impressed as we have been 3 times a year for 4 years and stopped in many hotels and b&b's and we will definatly be returning to this one from now on. We will be recomend it friends and family and look forward to our next visit.

Aug 2008, Mrs S Gaiger

Family run guest house, and family like to interact with guests in bar/lounge!
Great location. Rooms nicely furnished but were small
Breakfast good, we changed the time we ate to accommodate other guests as not enough tables for all 8 rooms.
Towels not replaced when left for laundry. Shower not cleaned as shower gel wrapper left there all weekend, and gels/soaps etc not replenished during 3 night stay.
Dirty sock found in wardrobe on arrival, no hanging rail in one of rooms. Bed not made on one occasion. Mould on toast one morning and only 3 slices between 4 people.
On returning home the owner called and accused one of our girls of steeling a pillow and protector ! We actually have plenty at home that only we have slept on !!!! and we actually took some of our own pillows.
We spent little time there as out and about, on the surface it was ok for £36 a room a night but im afraid its the little things that matter....so we wont be returning.
