Kendal Private Hotel

The pink neon glow of Blackpool Tower filters through the net curtains, and if you listen closely over the seagulls, you can hear the distant clatter of the Pleasure Beach rides winding down for the night.

This is proper seaside guest house territory with a quirky twist — alongside traditional B&B rooms, there are camping pods tucked somewhere on the property, making it a flexible option for families wanting a mix of indoor comfort and outdoor adventure, or groups where some fancy a proper bed and others prefer their own space. It's Blackpool, so you're in the thick of it: the Promenade, the Tower, fish and chips on every corner, and all the vintage seaside charm and chaos that comes with Britain's most unapologetic resort town.

Facilities aren't listed in detail, so ask ahead about what's included with your room or pod. Dogs might be welcome but you'll need to check first. Campfires are a question for arrival — not guaranteed in a town setting. Open all year, so whether it's illuminations season or a blustery February escape, it's an option for those who want Blackpool without the caravan park sprawl.
