Guests say
The Ascot in Blackpool offers a prime location with easy access to attractions and the beach, appreciated for its spaciousness and outdoor space. While guests enjoyed the added amenities like a games room, some noted the need for maintenance and a more thorough cleaning. The property provides a comfortable stay with ample bathrooms and a large kitchen table, though some improvements in furnishings are suggested.
Several guests mentioned the need for a more thorough cleaning throughout the property, including the games room, garden, and a bathroom that was reported to have an odour. The cleanliness aspect has room for improvement.
The property is consistently praised for its excellent location, close to the sea, attractions, and the Blackpool Tower, making it a convenient choice for visitors looking to explore the area.
Guests found the property comfortable, with a spacious layout and private bathrooms. However, some mentioned the need for better window coverage in the downstairs bedroom and more stable kitchen chairs.
The property boasts a range of facilities including a games room and outdoor space. However, guests reported issues with maintenance, such as wobbly chairs and a games table needing repair, and a mix-up with parking.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the host, so it is not possible to assess the thoughtfulness category based on the reviews provided.

Please note: Sorry no hen or stag parties, couples and family bookings only.. The Ascot is a superb semi-detached property that can be found less than half a mile from Blackpool’s main promenade. Boasting private parking for three cars, six bedrooms, an action-packed games room, and a spacious enclosed garden area to the rear, it makes the perfect property for fun-loving families and group breaks of up to ten guests in one of the UK’s most iconic seaside destinations. There is a family suite with a private landing comprising two bedrooms and a shared bathroom, and all other bedrooms enjoy their own en-suite facilities. Blackpool’s been the traditional home of seaside family holidays for over a century, and The Ascot is within a stone’s throw of many of its famous attractions.
The Winter Gardens entertainment complex is a mere 5-minute walk, which dating back to 1878 is an impressive building with a number of venues for the year-round glitz and glamour of shows and events. A 10-minute walk will take you to the Central Pier, Blackpool Tower & Dungeon, the Sea Life Centre, Madame Tussauds, and Coral Island on the bustling Golden Mile to name but a few! The award-winning green space of Stanley Park is a 15-minute walk, and here you’ll find everything from pedal boats to pitch-and-putt, train rides to trampolining and BMX to bowling and not forgetting the famous Blackpool Zoo.
Blackpool Pleasure Beach and Sandcastle Water Park are around a 30-minute walk, or you can jump on The Central Pier or Tower tramway, which are both easily accessible and convenient also for the annual illuminations light show. If you can bring yourself to leave Blackpool, slightly further south along the coast you’ll find the cosmopolitan seaside town of Lytham St Anne’s, which has five championship golf courses and is home to beautiful rolling sand dunes and colourful beach huts, or heading north for some nostalgia in the Fleetwood museum or retail therapy at Affinity Outlet.
For a change of scenery and a greener landscape the Forest of Bowland area of outstanding natural beauty, Ribble Valley, Pendle Hill and Lake District National Park can all be reached in around an hour.

Our stay was great, only issues were in the house the downstairs bedroom had no bin either in room or bathroom and was rather restricted to when could have a bath as no coverage on window and people outside on the porch Outside can see in tho frosted window.Kitchen was short of cooking utensils only one large panBut few little ones, just enough knives forks no veg peeler and few dodgy knives lolWe took our own slow cooker and air fryer Maybe an elaxa or a way of playing music downstairs would be nice too.with it being Christmas we soon filled up the orange bin but I'm sure other times of the year it will be fine The dog cleaning sink is great tho would be an idea to add say maybe a stretchy hose so a good cleanup of the astro turf can be done
