The sea air drifts in through the sash windows, mixing with the smell of a proper full English coming up from the kitchen downstairs.
The Astor offers something a bit different for Blackpool — a traditional guest house with camping pods out back, so you can choose between a cosy room with a comfy bed or sleeping under canvas with a roof over your head. It suits couples after a seaside weekend, families who want flexibility, and anyone exploring the Fylde Coast without committing to full tent life. You're in Blackpool, so the Illuminations, the Tower, and the promenade are all part of the draw, but this feels more like a proper Northern boarding house than a theme park hotel.
Facilities aren't spelled out in detail, so it's worth ringing ahead to check what's included and whether you can bring the dog — they ask that you get in touch first. Campfires are a maybe, so ask when you arrive. Open all year, which means you can do a winter weekend by the sea if you're brave. Honest, unfussy, and quintessentially Blackpool.
