The hotel boasts a five star rating on Tripadvisor with guests saying it is ‘fabulously homely’ and ‘the only place to stay for a wonderful break in Blackpool’. Owner Chris Rinder and his wife Christine have run the business for six years and have completed a full refurbishment since purchasing the building.  He said: “We didn’t think we would win this year so this is amazing.

“I think the key to being successful is a combination of a nice environment, alongside keeping the consistency of people’s high standards which constantly evolve every year.

“That and the fact that we have really nice guests who take the time to leave us kind reviews.”

Chris added the hotel has the key feature of being a ‘tranquil place to stay, in what is quite a chaotic place’. Dan Mitchell, Vice President and General Manager Hotels, Tripadvisor, said: “Our Best of the Best Hotels are marvels, acclaimed by thousands of travellers for their remarkable service, stunning design, and wealth of amenities that redefine what it means to have an exceptional hotel experience.

“According to our Tripadvisor reviewers, each of the world’s best hotels caters to the traveller looking for accessible luxury and unique, tailored experiences.”
