    Lovely little hotel, with very welcoming hosts

    The hotel is a lovely place owned and run by a lovely couple Gary and Jo, heavily music themed it's a great place to stay a stones throw from the front and about 10-15 mins walk to central Blackpool, the breakfast was excellent and the onsite bar with record player/hi-fi and games machine was a fantastic place for a couple of drinks.

    Excellent Quirky B&B With Fabulous Hosts

    This B&B is very quirky. Loved my room (80s rock and roll theme) with lots of music memorabilia and record player. The hosts were fantastic. Very friendly and welcoming and gave us lots recommendations for good pubs/things to do etc. Breakfast was excellent too and included in the price. Love the fact that this place is adult only too.

    This property is very quirky with themed rooms. I stayed in the Rock Room which comes with lots of cool music memorabilia and a record player. A fantastic adults only get away with amazing hosts. Breakfast is fantastic too and served in a music themed dining room again complete with various music memorabilia and record etc. I’ve stayed here now three times and is my go to whenever I am in Blackpool. Highly recommend.

    The couple that own and run the guest house couldn't do enough for you. They ironed a shirt and jumper for me. The breakfast options are great. Full English breakfast was my choice and I loved it. The rooms are themed, very clean and well presented. I'll be staying here on my next visit to Blackpool.

    Pleasant hotel by the promenade

    The hotel is run by an extremely friendly couple. We were lucky enough to have a small rental car (Vauxhall Corsa), so it could *just* fit alongside their own car. This was a pleasant surprise, since we expected to have to use one of the many car parks in the area. We had another pleasant surprise when we got into our room (the superior suite), with a nice view of the sea. The bed had the best mattress I have slept in for a long while. The location is very good, just a block from the promenade. The occasional loud drunk may walk by in the night, but overall it is very quiet. Only minuses are a bit cramped room layout and temperamental hot water in the shower. It has to run for quite a while to stabilise.

    Good location, within walking distance of South & Central piers. Hosts were a pleasant couple and made sure we had everything we needed. There was plenty for breakfast, hot, cold or both if you could manage it. We would go back there if we return to Blackpool.

    A pleasant place to stay for a short break

    We enjoyed our stay at the Mercury over the weekend. The room was very clean and comfortable, the breakfast was tasty, and the hosts were friendly and helpful. The location is good, close to but not right on the front, and we managed to find a parking space on the street round the corner (though this might be rather more difficult to do at busier times).
