Family-run for decades

The Ferndale Hotel is a family-run hotel in central Blackpool, operating for nearly 30 years. Many guests return regularly, some for decades. Staff are known for being helpful.

Rooms with basics

Rooms include free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and electric kettles with tea/coffee facilities. Family rooms have private bathrooms with showers and free toiletries. Twin and double rooms are also available.

Shared lounge & bar

Guests can relax in the shared lounge or grab a drink at the on-site bar. No restaurant is listed, but the town center is nearby for dining options.

Close to attractions

The hotel is 1 km from Winter Gardens Blackpool and Blackpool Central Library, 0.5 km from Coral Island, and 1.5 km from The Blackpool Tower. Blackpool Pleasure Beach is 2.5 km away.

Transport links

Blackpool International Airport is 10 km away. Manchester Airport and Liverpool John Lennon Airport are both within 100 km. The town center and public transport are easily accessible.

“The hotel's location near the beach, Tower, and shops is a real advantage, and the staff clearly stand out with their welcoming attitude and willingness to assist with practicalities like parking; breakfast also receives consistent praise. I think its family-friendly atmosphere, coupled with surprisingly quiet rooms despite the central location, makes it a strong contender for a Blackpool stay. A return visit seems highly likely for many.”

decent location, but some issues

dirty sink uncomfortable bed
the room was not entirely clean upon arrival. i found a dirty ear bud and some sweet wrappers on the floor (not a great first impression). furthermore, the bathroom sink was dirty, and the taps had mold. the bed provided little comfort.

Super Stay!

I loved that my room had a cozy fan ready for those warmer nights. i really liked the tea and coffee station. It was so convenient (especially for a quick morning boost!). the comfy beds ensured a restful sleep, which i totally needed after exploring all day.
