Head to Northern England’s most popular and famous seaside resort town for your next staycation by booking one of these wonderful cottages in Blackpool.
Situated right on the doorstep of Blackpool Pleasure Beach, the town’s famous theme pack that first opened in 1896, these Blackpool holiday cottages can provide the perfect base to enjoy this wonderful theme park. Not only that, but you’ll also be right by all the other landmarks and attractions that make Blackpool a top tourist destination!
Why Blackpool Cottages?
This collection of holiday cottages in Blackpool will put you right near to this town’s many fantastic attractions, perfect if you’re hoping to spend lots of time by the sea on your next staycation.
So, whether you plan on hitting the arcades, taking in the sea air from one of the town’s three majestic piers or witnessing the impeccable views from the top of Blackpool Towe. The tower was built just a few years after and inspired by the Eiffel Tower, it offers unbelievable views of the Irish Sea, Snowdonia, the Lake District and even the Isle of Man on a really clear day!
In-between the tower you’ll find the bustling Central Pier and North Pier, both of which have fantastic bars that make for unique places to enjoy a drink whilst taking in the views. Blackpool also has a South Pier, situated much further down the coast but home to its own fairground and a handful of fantastic restaurants.
Instead of walking the full length of the town’s promenade, Blackpool has a brilliant tram line that runs all the way up and down the Fylde Coast. Not only can you use it to reach each of the town’s three piers, but it also goes past attractions like Madame Tussauds Blackpool and Blackpool’s SEA LIFE centre, both of which make for a wonderful day out.
Blackpool Pleasure Beach
Ten thrill rides, seventeen family rides and twelve children's attractions await at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, including everyone's favourite beachfront coaster, The Big One. Enjoy a rickety ride on the beloved Big Dipper, a wooden coaster with plenty of dips, twists and turns.
Keep your cool on Ice Blast, a steel tower that launches riders to the heavens at speeds of up to 80mph. Don't look down as you rush mere metres above the sea on Infusion, and place your bets before boarding the Grand National, a unique racing rollercoaster that's been thrilling Sandgrown'uns (folk from Blackpool) since 1935.
Blackpool Pleasure Beach is open from 10am to 5pm, with ticket prices for adults starting from £33 going up to £38, depending on the demand for the particular day you’re looking at.
