Lovely BnB on the sea front. Website says no parking but there's loads of free parking all along the sea front just outside, myself and 2 colleagues stayed for a week and never had an issue parking close. Friendly hosts, great rates, clean rooms, good shower pressure, lovely breakfast. What more can you ask for!

Just about to checkout after a 3 night stay, I highly recommend this place. The staff are wonderful, friendly, cheerful and welcoming. The room was very clean and comfortable with a lovely sea view, the dining room was spotless and the breakfasts were delicious, perfectly cooked poached eggs and I honestly can't recommend the scrambled egg enough. If you are looking for a place to stay in Morecombe, look no further, this is the place, you will not be disappointed.

Single room 3, 1st floor. Lovely little room at the back of the property. No sea view but very quiet so a great nights sleep. Lovely warm welcome on arrival. The whole place, and my room, was spotless. Room was immaculate, nice soft towels, comfy bed and a great shower. Breakfast was superb, all freshly cooked. A lovely gem of a place, with great owners who care about their place and their customers. Highly recommended and hope to return.

Amazing visit. The host gratuitously upgraded me to the sea-view room on a quiet night, and the view was great. The bed was super comfortable, and the ammenities in the room were a nice touch. Great location on the promenade, with many grocery shops and takeaway places mearby. Lovely host and lovely room. Would consider booking again.

We had a fantastic stay at The Balmoral Hotel. The hotel is in a great location, is spotlessly clean, very comfortable, the breakfast was great and catering for my vegetarian needs was no problem at all. The owners were friendly and helpful and I would definitely stay here again.

Absolute gem on the Prom. 10 min walk to the Platform and Festival Market etc. Rooms are clean and lovely. Viv and Carl provide a friendly 1st class service with the best breakfast. You come as guests but leave as friends.
