Blackpool B&B's can be a nightmare - you know what you are getting if you stay at a Hilton etc. With owner operated B&B's it can be a gamble - The Seacroft was a really pleasant suprise - tasteful, simple, clean, warm, well kept and with nice personal touches - enough milk tubs to make more than two cups of coffee ( I hate those little tubs of milk that are just a waste of the world resources but every hotel and B&B seems to use them), very white towels, a usuable iron and ironing board in the room. I really cant fault the weekend ( I can't comment on the breakfast as didn't manage to get out of bed until 12.00).
One more quick observation - The Seacroft is a very calm place to stay, as I mentioned its tasteful and clean, it feels very professional. It dosent suffer from some other B&B owner's over the top personalisation, for example, its not full of grubby soft toys, plastic flower arrangements, Elvis portraits, the owners travel snaps from around the world or Irish/Scottish/Gay/Football 'things' etc which always makes me feel that I am invading their home rather than staying at a guest house.
