The Croydon - A family-run hotel with sea-view gardens and tram access near Blackpool Tower

Set on Blackpool's North Shore, just 30 metres from the beach, The Croydon features 10 en-suite rooms with Freeview digital TVs, complimentary tea/coffee facilities, and free Wi-Fi. Twin and family rooms accommodate three or four guests, while the bright sun lounge and garden offer sea views. A full English breakfast is served daily, with an on-site bar available for drinks. Nearby landmarks include Blackpool Tower (5 minutes by tram) and Genting Casino (10-minute walk), while Blackpool North train station is a 20-minute walk away. Parking is free, and tram access simplifies exploring the town.

Pros

The seafront location provides quick beach access (30 metres).

Free parking and proximity to tram stops simplify transportation.

Family-friendly rooms and a garden with sea views cater to diverse guest needs.

The on-site bar and sun lounge add leisure options without leaving the property.

Cons

No on-site dining options beyond breakfast and bar service.

Single rooms have limited space, accommodating only one adult.

“The Croydon strikes me as a particularly well-run B&B, where the quiet location just outside the bustle ensures a good night's sleep, a sentiment echoed in many of the comments I read. The free parking and proximity to tram lines are a definite plus, but it's the consistently praised breakfast and the thoughtful touches from the hosts, like bottled water for the journey home, that elevate the experience and makes me confident in recommending it.”
