The Cherry Blossom is a very nice hotel, the outside could do with a bit of a touch up but do not let that put you off. I visited as part of a group and as with many groups we were a bit disorganised at check in however the owner was wonderfully patient. The rooms were spotlessly clean and the public areas are full of period features and very attractive. A drink in the bar is highly recommended but take cash as there is a £10 minimum on cards. I will be visiting again.

Amazing place full of character and great new owners. Very polite and helpful from the get-go, giving my family and I a warm welcome upon arrival. The owners were also very considerate for the 1 night we stayed as we had young children and tried to keep the noise down for them. Breakfast served was delicious, they make some amazing eggs there. My son wolfed them down before I could. Overall, a great place to stay if you want to spend some time in Blackpool. Highly recommended

Stayed here last year for a wedding but discovered they had changed hands this year. The reception is lighter and more modern and there is now entertainment some evenings. The staff were very pleasant and the rooms were clean. Nice big cooked breakfast as well. Now called Talk of the Town. Good luck to the new owners
