Sunrise is clean, warm and comfortable accommodation at a good price. We took the breakfast option which I really recommend. The cereal and teas and coffee are self service and you can order a delicious cooked breakfast. The breakfast is served at another premises just along the road which is only a 1 minute walk if that, which we didn't mind. Laura the manager meets you to check you in and lets you know where she can be found if you have any issues or need anything. She is very pleasant as is everyone at their other premises where breakfast is served. The location is great just around the corner from the pleasure beach and almost opposite the South Pier. This property is accessed via stairs and rooms are upstairs so not suitable for anyone with mobility problems but fine for families (our youngest is 2 and managed the stairs fine and we were in a loft room). There are no hen or stag parties allowed here so the property is fairly quiet which is what we wanted. Parking, as is the same in all of Blackpool, can be an issue but John the owner went above and beyond to help us out and secure a space. I would definitely return here. Thank you for a lovely stay.
