Guests say
Drumford is a spacious and well-located cottage in Blackpool, ideal for large groups and family gatherings. Guests consistently praise its proximity to the tram stop, seafront, and local amenities, as well as the generous communal areas and helpful staff. While the property is warm and well-equipped, some guests noted issues with water pressure, bathroom maintenance, and occasional cleanliness concerns. Despite these minor drawbacks, the house offers excellent value and a comfortable base for exploring Blackpool, with many guests expressing a desire to return.
Several guests found the property generally clean, but there were reports of stained bedding, dusty rooms, and hair in beds. Some tablecloths and cushions were also noted as stained, indicating room for improvement in housekeeping.
The location is highly praised, with the tram stop directly outside, the seafront nearby, and easy access to shops, eateries, and a pub. Guests found it convenient for exploring Blackpool and appreciated the ample parking.
The communal areas are spacious, warm, and comfortable, making them ideal for large groups. However, some bedrooms were described as small or cramped, and a few guests mentioned uncomfortable beds and inadequate heating in certain rooms.
The kitchen is well-equipped and communal spaces are generous, but guests experienced issues with water pressure, faulty toilets, and a lack of some basic items for large groups. The property is generally functional but would benefit from some refurbishment and maintenance.
There were no mentions of welcome gifts or extra thoughtful touches in the reviews, so a score cannot be provided for this category.

Excelent stay at Drumford House.Had a family occasion and had 20 plus of us stay here. Large enough that we weren't tripping over each other but still felt cozy enough.Tram station over the road meant we were 10 minutes from Blackpool promenade and the local area had enough fast food or resaurants to keep us all happy, pub literally next door.Will definately be making this an annual get away.Joey

The house was a perfect place to hold a big family birthday celebration The position is perfect on the sea front and the tram stop is just across the road so no need to use your car!The house is over 3 floors with quite heavy fire doors which can be tricky when carrying 2 drinksThe kitchen is large and well equipped could do with more knives and forks and spoons though we didn't have enoughWe had an issue with a light in one of the bathrooms and Colin sorted it straight away which was great!Just remember it's an old house and it shows in places but we loved it and would highly recommend it!!

Everything was nearly perfect the exceptions were minor like some of the toilets when flushed created a terrible noise while refilling we dare not flush at night for fear of waking others in the house or next door, some of the windows were plastered with bird muck ,all these were not causing us a problem, there was an issue with water pressure regarding if alot of people had a shower at the same time but we were aware of that and made sure we communicated. I have to reiterate these problem were not going to be a grear issue with our time at Blackpool,shops Tram and bus were near by enabling us to have a car free time that enhanced our stay.
