Guests say
Ocean View House offers a fantastic location with excellent views and is well-suited for group getaways, such as stag dos and girls’ weekends. Guests appreciated the hot tub, pool table, and warm heating. However, several reviews mention that the property is tired and in need of maintenance, with issues such as missing kitchen equipment, broken amenities, and cleanliness concerns. While the beds and linen were generally clean, some areas require more attention. The property has great potential with some refurbishment and improved attention to detail.
Guests noted clean bedding and bathrooms, but reported issues such as dirty kitchen floors, mouldy food left in the fridge, and unclean bins. Some areas, like the kitchen and sun room furniture, were described as shabby or dirty.
The location was consistently praised for its views, proximity to transport links, and suitability for group stays. Guests found it an excellent base for exploring Blackpool.
While beds and linen were generally clean and the house was warm, some guests found beds uncomfortable and noted missing mattress covers and curtains. The property was described as tired but safe and suitable for groups.
Several amenities, including the sauna, jacuzzi, and kitchen appliances, were reported as broken or missing. Kitchen equipment was lacking, and some bathrooms had maintenance issues. The hot tub and pool table were highlights, but overall facilities need improvement.
No welcome pack or gifts were provided, and essentials like toilet rolls, bin bags, and toiletries were missing. Guests should note that any gifts or extras are not guaranteed.

The property was in a great location with good transport links. It was great that the heating was on and the house was lovely and warm. The bathrooms and house apart from the kitchen was clean. The kitchen floor with its tape over the cracks in the tiles meant it was not really acceptable and kitchen cupboards needed a good wipe out. Having a bedroom with no curtains at a window was not good as the street lights are on all night. The house is in a shabby condition and needs a lot of work. There is little equipment in the kitchen, no oven gloves, 1 sharp knife, and it needs more plates, mugs and wine glasses. It meant had to be creative in use of utensils when cooking. Good job we took toilet rolls with us as there were none. Also the sauna was not working - I see from other reviews it has been like that for 6 months. The photos are out of date, its far more tired that they show, for example, the lovely furniture in the sun room is not there and cream sofas are very dirty. I think Cottages.com local rep needs to visit.
