What an absolutely lovely find this was! Out of all the choices for Blackpool, I think I found the best! Kathie and Pete are fantastic hosts, the rooms are a delight, breakfast was incredible and the bar prices are unbelievable! Overall, great location, great price, great rooms, great food and great added extras, fresh milk in the fridge, selection of hot drinks and bottled water, a hair dryer with attachments, shampoo, shower gel and hand soap, even tissues! USB ports in the bedside lamps, I could go on forever, my advice, if there is availability book! You will not be disappointed.

Nice clean b&b. The room was spotless, the breakfast was great. ( probably the best I've ever had) Pete and Kathie are great hosts and Ollie was lovely. The bar is a nice touch and very cheap with a wide range of drinks. Tea,coffee and biscuits in the rooms, fridge with bottled water and fresh milk. Couldn't fault it at all. Hopefully we will be back but I can see this place being booked up

Comfortable bed, the room was tastefully decorated, loved the little bar area and the outside garden with nice seating area. Kathie and Pete were amazing hosts - friendly, professional. Ollie the dog was so lovely and well behaved, breakfast was amazing couldn't fault the place, will definitely be back.XxxxxX

We stayed here for an impromptu break to see the illuminations. The room was beautifully decorated and very clean, it had two comfy big beds big enough to fit my family of four. There was a TV , tea and coffee facilities and a hairdryer etc. the breakfast in the morning was delicious and the hosts were very accommodating to my two young children. The b and b is close enough to the illuminations and sights but far enough to be quiet . Would recommend and definitely love to go back!

Unreal little find! North Crest is an absolute gem in Blackpool. The hosts are amazing, both made us all feel welcome and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The breakfast was incredible!! Kathie and Pete have clearly worked so hard, they absolutely deserve 10 stars let alone 5. The rooms are immaculate and lots of little touches that made the stay even better such as hair dryers in the room and lampshades with fitted chargers. Thank you so much! We will definitely back.

The rooms were great, well equipped, tidy, clean, and even a complimentary KitKat! The breakfast in the morning is brilliant, with other options on the breakfast bar. I would definitely recommend this hotel and I would definitely stay here again if I was to return to Blackpool! The hosts were amazing and made us all feel welcome.

We had a night at the North Crest hotel. From the moment we walked in, Kathie was the perfect host, warmly greeting us, showing us to our room and explaining about the shower, heating etc. The room wasn't huge, but for night (or even two) was perfectly acceptable and beautifully decorated. The breakfast was AMAZING! Everything was cooked to order and delicious! If ever we need to stay in Blackpool, the North Crest would be my first choice!
