Glenshee Hotel & Leisure - Blackpool, United Kingdom     

This hotel was situated, as stated on it's website, past south pier, sandcastle and pleasure beach... probably about 10-15 minutes walk. which by Blackpool's standards is quite a distance to the nearest shops etc. There are no other amenities near this hotel, it is somewhat isolated. The breakfast were reasonable, everything was nice n hot. Breakfast service was good. The bar drinks were reasonably priced, bar service was good. The bar was completely closed on a sunday, which was not very good when you have walked miles and could murder a drink! We thought we might have still been able to get a drink but were not offered anything despite asking. The rooms were varied: we had a small double which was reasonably kitted out, but a bit shabby in places. Bed was uncomfortable, TV with built in DVD but no remote control, telephone did not work, tea n coffee facilities were replenished but cups not washed day to day, towels were plentiful and changed regularly if left on the floor. We also had a family room, this was cleaner and generally better laid out, Tv but no DVD (altho they did have a remote!), beds were more comfortable, again cups were not cleaned when tea/coffees topped up. Service at reception was not exceptional but was adequate. All in all it was a fair hotel, in a less than perfect location.

My nephew was celebrating his 21st birthday there last November so we decided to stay over. Unlike some single rooms (or should I say cupboards) I have been in at other hotels my room was quite spacious. Very clean with more than adequate tea and coffee. My only complaint is that the TV was fixed too high up - had great difficulty trying to watch. The bar staff at the party were really efficient and friendly and breakfast the following morning was excellent. Overall I say well done to the manager and his staff
