Blackpool's Number One is living proof that holidaying in this popular British seaside resort doesn’t have to be a crude and populist affair. Aimed at the more discerning client, this handsome boutique property presses all the right buttons where bed breakfast is concerned. With magnificent views of the sea, the new South Beach Promenade, Mirrorball and Solaris Gardens, Number One furrows its own unique path amongst a proliferation of bland and idle rivals. The elegant and understated bedrooms with their rich, dark textiles and stockpile of modern devices make this likely to appeal to all manner of tech-savvy pleasure seekers.

In-room perks include 42" plasma TV screens, Sony PlayStation2, Freeview, Wi-fi, remote lighting, refreshment trays with the usual bits and pieces and a full ensuite bathroom including a Whirlpool bath, 17" LCD TV, power shower and music system.

As bright and compelling as the illuminations that grace the mile or so from Starr Gate to North Shore every year. Highly recommended – R4U
