Marlow Lodge

  : I consider myself lucky to have snagged a single room in this place on a Saturday night. The Marlow Lodge is far nicer than a typical Blackpool guesthouse, and is more like a proper hotel. The decor is very tasteful, new and modern, and everything is spotlessly clean. My room was really cosy and comfortable. The drinks supplies were very generous. The wifi was excellent. The lady who runs the place is exceptionally friendly and pleasant. The street is quieter than many streets that have a lot of guesthouses, but only a short stroll to South Pier and the Pleasure Beach. From now on this will be one of the first places I consider when visiting Blackpool.
  : The only thing stopping this place being perfect was a glitch with the shower. The flow of water stopped and started for no reason. Also the taps in the basin don't stay on, you have to hold them down, which makes it tricky to wash your hands. The Lodge only reopened under the present proprietors a few weeks ago, so I can forgive them for having some teething problems. I am sure the plumbing problems will be quickly rectified.

  : Location, friendly host.
  : The window opened very wide making it unsafe for children. One one plug socket in the room.

  : Its a bit confusing when people have written reviews about the breakfast, but then once you book it says its not included. Yet on the back of the bedroom door it still mentions breakfast

  : The welcome was lovely-a really nice owner who was chatty and made us feel welcome. The room was clean and everywhere felt welcoming
  : Nothing really wrong with the room, the only reason I did not give an excellent was the fact that we thought initially that we could get breakfast and that there was a bar area. However there is nothing wrong at all with the place, just that we read old reviews before the change of ownership. At the end of the road though there is a weatherspoons which does a lovely breakfast, so don't let no breakfast put you off. Overall a lovely stay with a welcoming host
