My little boy loved the baby pool each day. Food was good, room cleaned nicely each day. We have booked to return again soon, hopefully on a Tuesday as this, according to the literature I read in our excellent sized room, is a very special day at the Dalmeny as this is when they have the weeky fire alarm test which I would love to experience, especially as the children's entertainment is only on a weekend during term time. I dream not only of hearing the dulcit tones of the fire alarm test...ringing out like the glorious Westminster Abbey bells, but of being there during a test evacation, assembling at the fire point (which is at the front car park), meeting the fire wardens, chatting for ages about hazards and risks...I love Health & Safety, it could be the reason I've only been married 4 times but that's another story. My wife, unfortunately, doesn't share my passion and enthusiasm for Health & Safety but she, like me, enjoys the hospitality and experience the Dalmeny offers, so we do have something in common. We are due back again for 5 nights 8-13th September, if it were possible to have a tour of the fire exits and and any C.O.S.H cages etc it would really make my day. Many thanks again to the Dalmeny team for a great stay.

This was our second visit to the Big Blue. My husband and I stayed 2 nights while we visited areas…read morearound Blackpool. The last time we stayed here was in 2004 when it was fairly new. We had a good experience then so we decided to give this place another go. We were not disappointed. Location The location is great if one were spending a lot of time in Pleasure Beach because it is literally only a stone's throw away. Literally. It is a far away enough from the centre of Blackpool, which means it is far away from the bars and clubs. This suited us just fine because we wanted to be as far away as possible from the drunken debauchery that seem to be a constant in Blackpool. Rooms When we checked in, we were given a choice of what view we wanted. We chose to get a view of the park, and we got just that. We had the coaster and the Grand National right outside our window. Some people might find this problematic/weird, but I actually thought it was hilarious. The noise from the rides did not really bother us as the park did not open 'til about 10 AM and we were gone for most of the day. Besides, after the park closed around 6 PM, it became really quiet so we had a good night's sleep. We were assigned the family room (even though it was just the 2 of us) and I was quite pleased with its size and layout (I think it will work just fine for a family of 4 with 2 little ones). The king bed was comfortable enough, but not as comfortable as I remember. It also looks like they have not had a refurb since they opened, so the room is looking a bit tired. Still, everything was clean and in good working order. The bathrooms were clean and the power shower was POWERFUL - take-your-skin-off powerful - which I loved. It's like being under the Niagara Falls; believe me, this is an anomaly for Britain, so I was very happy. The only gripe I have is that there is no alarm clock in the room, but I guess because this hotel's guests are here on holidays, so most of them probably do not operate on a schedule. Furthermore, mobile phones nowadays have alarm clocks so it really is not that big a deal. Service Service here is amazing. Fabio, who works the front desk was absolutely FABIO-LOUS! He is polite, friendly, efficient, and helpful - a poster child for what every customer service representative should be (probably because he worked in the cruise ship industry for some time). A special shoutout too to the housekeeping staff who went out of their way to be helpful and courteous; nothing was too much of a bother for them and they bent over backwards to attend to our needs. Etcetera Parking is free, and it seems there is an adequate amount of parking spaces. I absolutely LOVED the fact that there is an ice machine for the guests (again, an anomaly for Britain, it seems), but I wonder whatever happened to the ice buckets because there were none and we had to borrow one from the bar. LOVED LOVED LOVED the free wifi in-room. (If this can be done here, it makes me wonder why so many other hotels still charge forin-room wi-fi.) Conclusion 4 out of 5 stars. This is a great hotel and is probably one of the best in Blackpool. It may be a little pricey for some, but given the sad choices in Blackpool, this is definitely worth the money. I would definitely stay here again and I highly recommend it.

The Big Blue is just away from the main street of Blackpool, not too far away but just far enough…read morethat your away from all the noise etc. I don't go to Blackpool often however my impression is that it's not exactly posh! I'd say the Big Blue is probably the most decent looking hotel in Blackpool (from what i've seen so far!). It is right next to the Pleasure Beach which is very handy. We only visited to go to the bar as we were meeting my boyfriends parents for some evening drinks, but we did get a tour of their bedroom which looked pretty decent - their room was placed right next to the rollarcoaster so that was pretty awesome I think. The bar itself was not too bad, it wasn't a large area as it was sort of part of the main restaurant. They had some comfy sofas which we managed to get as it was quite a quiet evening. We had a few cocktails and they were delicious! The prices were just the normal as you would get at any bar really - cocktail was around £7. This is the only hotel i've been to in Blackpool so far so I can't really compare, but it's nice enough to relax in if your looking to chill with a couple of evening cocktails.

The rooms are generously sized with good facilities, nice decor and comfortable beds. But... What on earth has happened to the lighting? The newly-refurbished rooms are SO dark. There is only one ceiling light in the entire room, which is in the entrance area adjacent to the bathroom. The rest of the lighting comes from 2 wall lights, one standard lamp, and a desk light. Neither the desk light or standard lamp are switchable from the bed. So, you have to go around the room and switch all the lights off before going to bed. Not ideal in a quality hotel. That niggle aside, the stay was fine. Good breakfast, good wifi, easy car parking and friendly staff. Would I go back? Yes... But I'd take a torch. :-)

We had a rental car, and circled the block the hotel was on for 45 minutes before finding the street. Even the map for pedestrians of Blackpool city is not entirely correct.

All rooms have colour tv offering a wide range of digital channels and there is free parking at the front of the hotel, which is a must when staying in Blackpool, it is also only a 5 minute walk to the pleasure beach and should you require any essentials there is a corner shop just up the road.

I was recommended to try the New Osborne, from the first contact I had with Mike was the start of the first class service we were to experience all weekend. On arrival, Mike greeted us with the most welcoming smile I have ever seen from any B&B owner in Blackpool (we have been going for the last 10 years annually). He showed us to the rooms and they were very clean. The toilets and shower rooms were spotless (not a usually for Blackpool I tell you) clean bed linen and tea and coffee supplies. He had given us the complete top floor to ensure we were all together and everyone of us was very happy at our accommodation. After we all got ready we went downstairs to the bar, which was well stocked up and Mike was very friendly, we could have stayed there all day but we had planned to go and watch the fabulous Joey Blower, Mike confirmed that the bar would be open for us when we got back. After a fantastic day around Blackpool we came back to the hotel, and sure enough Mike was there waiting for us. He served us drinks till it was ready for bed and we had such a laugh with him. Next morning we woke to the smell of breakfast, I have got to say it was the best breakfast we have ever had in Blackpool and we all cleaned our plates! Mike even offered for us to extend our rooms if any of us wanted too, however, we have all decided to venture out into Blackpool again so he offered to look after our bags and we had no reservations about leaving them with him as we trusted him totally. All I can say is if you're thinking of going to Blackpool I would totally recommend you stay in this hotel, we've already booked up again for august and I have given his number out to friends and family. Thanks Mike for your fabulous hospitality and see you soon x
