    Not a lot of down points to mention ... The cost could be a little more competitive, however, I would happily return to this hotel.

    Superb friendly hotel & I wholeheartedly recommended this hotel. It is near enough for Blackpool attractions yet distant enough to be peaceful. The excellent tram service runs literally across the road and is another plus point for choosing this hotel. Look no further...you won't find better.

    The only thing that could have been improved was the shower. It was an electric one, and it was quite tricky to get the temperature just right. Other than that, I can't really suggest anything to improve at all!

    Chris and Chris were very pleasant, and were great at checking if we had everything we needed. The cooked breakfast was fantastic, the location was great (about a 40min walk to the centre of town, or about 5mins on the tram - so close but also quiet), the room was lovely and the bed was comfortable. The lounge/dining room also had a self-service/honesty bar that was really handy after a long day of sightseeing.

    We never saw a 'Kiss Me Quick' Hat anywhere in town!! Lol.

    Chris the host was very friendly and helpful from the outset. The place itself was one of the cleanest I've ever stayed in! Breakfast was just right and quickly served up. Our room overlooked the sea and they have erected some large illuminations directly opposite. In fact we have booked the same room in October so we can see the illuminations. As for travel we booked a 3 day pass with Blackpool Transport which allowed us unlimited use of trams or buses which run every 12 mins in either direction. This was quite handy as there is a tram stop just two minutes walk from the hotel. Free parking on site is also a plus point with ample good spaces available. In all I can say were were 'Over the moon' with our stay and will make Fossil Tree our go to place in Blackpool for any future visits!

    Shower pressure not great, but didn't really impact us at all.

    Loved the size of the room and the decor. Felt relaxed the entire time with it being away from all the noise, but still close enough for a nice beach walk into town. We've stayed in plenty of places up and down the country and the breakfast here was the best. We had such a nice time and the hosting was excellent and very helpful. We enjoyed our stay so much we decided to book an extra night. Well worth the money.

    An Excellent Choice

    We chose The Fossil Tree because we needed to be in close proximity to where our aunt had lived and to attend her funeral, and what a wonderful choice we made. Chris and his wife Christine are excellent hosts, nothing is too much trouble and have a wealth of knowledge of their locality and the numerous tourist attractions of Blackpool and the surrounding area. The Fossil Tree hotel is a haven of peace and calm, but if the hustle and bustle of Blackpool beckons, then hop on a tram or bus, both of which are almost on the doorstep of the hotel. Our room was lovely with a sea view, a very comfy bed, a flat screen TV and 2 chairs, and must not forget the wonderful incidentals like a coffee maker and a kettle for that 'early morning cuppa' in bed before going down for breakfast. How does the saying go - 'Breakfast like a king' - well, that is exactly what you get at the Fossil Tree, a most wonderful choice to suit all tastes and served by Chris, always with a smile and time for you. There is a well stocked bar operating on an honesty box system and a comfortable lounge area, ideal for a night-cap after a busy day. This hotel is definitely not to be missed.

    Nothing. More than happy with everything and would stay there again if I went back to Blackpool in future.

    Very good choice for breakfast. My wife is a vegetarian and the range of food offered to her was excellent. Chris and Christine who run the guest house were extremely helpful and nothing was too much trouble.
