Bloomfield House Blackpool: My Dream UK Getaway? Let's Dive In (and Maybe Judge a Little)
Alright, alright, let's talk Bloomfield House. They're screaming "Your Dream UK Getaway Awaits!" and honestly, that's a big claim. Blackpool's a… vibe. But can Bloomfield House deliver? Buckle up, because this isn't your polished travel brochure review. We're going messy, we're going real, and we're going to get deep into the nitty-gritty. Oh, and SEO? Yeah, it's in there somewhere. Don't worry, google bots, I see you.
Accessibility: The Good, The Bad, And The… Blackpool?
First things first: accessibility. This is huge for a lot of people, and I'm glad it's a priority. Bloomfield House says they're offering facilities for disabled guests, and I'm cautiously optimistic. The elevator is a must, essential for getting between floors and accessible rooms for those with mobility issues. I'd love to get specific feedback on how well-executed that is. More details are needed.
On-site accessible restaurants / lounges… This is crucial. If the hotel has accessible restaurants/lounges and its truly accessible, this puts them in good stead.
Getting Around, Parking & Perks (Or, "My Car Needs a Vacation Too")
Okay, let's get practical. They offer car park [free of charge] and car park [on-site]. Yes! Blackpool parking can be a nightmare. Avoiding that stress is a huge win. They also tout car power charging station. Modern accommodations is nice. They have a taxi service, which is handy if you arrive by train (not sure if they will arrange an airport transfer)
Cleanliness and Safety: The Obsessive Compulsive Traveller's Delight (or, "Did They REALLY Sanitize That Handle?")
Look, in the current world, cleanliness and safety are paramount. Bloomfield House seems to get it. They're boasting anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection in common areas, professional-grade sanitizing services, and room sanitization opt-out available, That's reassuring. Hearing about individually-wrapped food options and a safe dining setup also makes me feel a bit better. Staff trained in safety protocol and sterilizing equipment are excellent.
But honestly? I’d still be checking every goddamn surface. I’m a sucker for a first aid kit (it's always good to know your hotel has one!), and hand sanitizer being readily available is a no-brainer these days.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: From Buffet Bliss to Soup Sadness (or, "Will the Food Actually Be Good?")
Ah, the food. The heart of any good getaway, right? Bloomfield House promises quite a spread. They brag about restaurants, a bar and snack bar. The breakfast [buffet] and breakfast service are promising. I'm especially curious about the Asian breakfast and Asian cuisine in restaurant, because that's a bold claim in Blackpool!
Room Service [24-hour]. Now that is tempting. Imagine, a midnight snack of…well, whatever they're serving. Okay, I'm getting hungry now. They do have coffee/tea in restaurant too, good to know.
Things to Do, Ways to Relax: Spa Days and Swimmin' Pools (or, "Can Someone Please Rub My Shoulders?")
Okay this is where Bloomfield House actually gets me intrigued! They've got a swimming pool, which is essential. They may even have a sauna, a spa, and a steamroom. I do adore a spa day. If they combine the Pool with view with the Massage, I very well may have to book.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Make a Big Difference (or, "Can I Get My Undies Washed?")
So, they have the usual suspects: Air conditioning in public area, concierge, daily housekeeping, dry cleaning, ironing service, laundry service, luggage storage, safety deposit boxes, and a convenience store.
I love a good concierge. They can be lifesavers. Contactless check-in/out is a big plus in my books. Facilities for disabled guests is a must. And the Elevator is an absolute necessity, depending on the room.
Available in all rooms
All the usual things.
For the Kids: Families Welcome? (or, "Where's the Babysitter?")
Babysitting service? They’ve got it! Kids meal? They do. Family/child friendly? They claim to be.
In-Room Ramblings: Your Personal Oasis (or, "Will My Pillow Be Comfy?")
Now, onto the meat and potatoes of the stay: the rooms. They're promising a lot. They claim Air conditioning, and a blackout curtains for a proper sleep. Alarm clock and complimentary tea - these could make the stay. There is Free bottled water, Wi-Fi [free], Internet access – wireless. Those items are all crucial amenities these days. Also, Desk, Hair dryer, In-room safe box, Mini bar, Mirror, Refrigerator, Separate shower/bathtub, Smoke detector, Sofa, and Telephone are all present.
The Big Selling Point: The "Dream" and My Honest Take
Bloomfield House is positioning itself as a premium stay, and with all the amenities I've listed, its promising a good experience. Blackpool can be a bit rough around the edges. So, the biggest test will be how well they execute. Are the rooms truly soundproof? Is the service friendly, efficient, and genuinely helpful? Are the spa treatments any good? Is the breakfast buffet actually not terrible?
My Verdict (and a Bit of a Rant)
Alright, here’s my take. Bloomfield House has the potential to be a great getaway. They've got the amenities down. But honestly, it all comes down to the execution. I'm a sucker for a good spa, a solid WiFi connection, and (let's be honest) a comfy bed.

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to embark on a trip to DYSA Bloomfield House in Blackpool – a place I'm going to be honest, I'm not entirely sure why I'm going. Some sort of… thing. Fundraiser? Team building? Just vague promises of "fun"? Doesn't matter, we're going. And here's how I think it's going to go down, complete with my running commentary.
DYSA Bloomfield House - Blackpool: A Totally Unofficial Itinerary (with a side of manic rambling)
Day 1: Arrival, Awkward Introductions, and the Mysterious "Team Building"
10:00 AM - The Departure Disaster (and the Dreaded Train): Right, so I'm supposed to be at the train station, right? But I woke up late. Again. Now I'm rushing, stuffing a half-eaten sausage roll in my mouth (don't judge, I didn't have time for breakfast) and sprinting to catch the 10:00 from London to Blackpool. Pray for me, the train will be late anyway. I've spent the last hour hunting for my travel pillow, because god forbid I go more than 45 minutes without my beauty sleep - and goddamn it, I can't find it! Okay, deep breaths. Train, train, train… Oh, and I hope I packed deodorant.
1:00 PM - Blackpool Station: A Seaside Serenade? (More Like a Sea-Mist Moan): Arrive in Blackpool. Honestly, the sea mist is the first thing that hits you. It's like a clammy hug from the Irish Sea. And it smells faintly of chips and… something else. I think it was seagulls. Already, I'm starting to regret not bringing a knitted hat. Someone hold me.
1:30 PM - Bloomfield House - The "House" of Questionable Activities?: Oh, my. I think the reception is in a converted… I'm not exactly sure. A converted something. Anyway, the staff seem lovely enough – they probably see the glazed look of confusion that washes over everyone's face arriving here, like a well-worn tapestry. Check-in with a mix of polite smiles and me trying to look like I know what I'm doing. I'm sure I've booked a room.
2:00 PM - Lunch with the Strangers: Buffet-style lunch at the hotel. This is where the real fun (or, let's be honest, the awkwardness) begins. I'm pretty sure everyone's judging my plate overflowing with coleslaw and chips. I'm trying to mingle. It's a struggle, to say the least. Oh god, did Brenda just ask me to join her for a group chat? Think I'll just sit and watch the world go by at this rate.
3:00 PM - "Team Building" – The Darkest Hour: Alright, let's get this over with. "Team building" is code for forced bonding. I'm prepping myself for trust falls, icebreakers, and the crippling fear of being picked last for the team sports. Please let there be bingo. Please. I hope it's not some sort of outdoor adventure. Because let's face it, the extent of my athleticism is walking to the fridge for snacks. Oh, look at that, it's time to find out what we are doing.
- 3:30 PM: Yep, just as suspected. Some sort of group game. I have no idea what's going on, I think I'm on a team. I think we're supposed to be communicating. I'd rather be in that awkward lunch scene.
6:00 PM - Free Time: The Great Escape? (Or More Likely, Netflix): Okay, I'm putting my foot down. I need some time to recharge. This is where I'm going to hole up in my room. Get a bath, and maybe indulge in a bit of Netflix. The hotel wifi better be strong. Anyone for some Queer Eye?
7:00 PM - Dinner: The Culinary Adventure (Or, Please Don't Let It Be Fish and Chips Again): Dinner. I'm hoping for something a little more exciting than the buffet. I'm dreaming of a nice plate of pasta and getting some sleep. It's only been one day and I'm already exhausted.
8:00 PM - The Evening's Entertainment: Supposedly. Probably a disco, in a room, with sticky carpets. I'm already considering feigning a migraine. Or maybe I'll actually go. If, and I stress if, the beer's flowing.
Day 2: Blackpool's Charm (and My Growing Desperation)
- 9:00 AM - Breakfast: The Morning After the Night Before (and My Eternal Hope for Coffee): Wake up. Pray that the coffee is strong and plentiful. Pray there's still some proper bread. Then: breakfast. Eggs? Maybe. Or I might just run straight back to my room, hide under the covers, and pretend to be on a deserted island.
- 10:00 AM - "Local Attraction" – The Big Wheel (or the Endless Queue): Okay, here's where the itinerary goes all, 'Embrace the local culture!' I'm anticipating a trip to the Blackpool Tower. More like the Blackpool Tower Queue, am I right? The only things I'm really interested in Blackpool are how big the doughnuts are.
- 12:00 PM - Lunch: The "Proper" Blackpool Experience (aka, Chips): Fish and chips. It's the law. Embrace the grease. I'll probably feel gross, but hey, when in Blackpool… I'll probably try to sit and eat my chips whilst I'm trying to figure out how to avoid the seagulls.
- 1:00 PM - The Afternoon: More Free Time (with a Side of Growing Panic): More "team building" on the agenda, apparently. I'm already plotting my escape. Perhaps a sudden, mysterious illness? Or maybe just a quiet walk on the… Oh god, the beach.
- 3:00 PM - Afternoon Tea: Oh god, I'm so glad. I love sandwiches and cakes. I could do with that. It's a good break. Maybe I can nap after.
- 6:00 PM - Farewell Dinner: The Epilogue (and the Sweet Taste of Freedom): Final dinner. Reflect on the experience. Decide whether it was worth it. I'm also making plans to take a nap. So that I can take a nap.
- 8:00 PM - Drinks: The Forced Camaraderie: A final drink with the group. Try to remember everyone's names. Make polite conversation. Pretend to enjoy myself. Then, I'm heading straight to bed… with my travel pillow, finally. And maybe a very large glass of wine. Or 3.
- 9:00 PM - Final thoughts: Thinking about the next trip home.
Day 3: The Great Escape (and the Post-Blackpool Blues):
- 9:00 AM - The Last Breakfast: One last, desperate attempt at a decent breakfast. Then, the sweet relief of packing up.
- 10:00 AM - Departure: Goodbye, Blackpool! Goodbye, Bloomfield House! Goodbye, forced fun! I'm catching the train back to London.
- 1:00 PM - Back to Reality (and My Own Bed): Arrive home. Unpack. Collapse onto the sofa. And start planning my next adventure… which will probably be a solo trip to a really quiet place with no team-building activities whatsoever.
Final Thoughts (Because You Asked):
Look, Blackpool probably has its charms. I'm sure it does. But for me, the best part of this trip is going to be getting back home. And maybe, just maybe, finding that damn travel pillow.
Wish me luck, people. I have a feeling I'm going to need it.

Bloomfield House Blackpool: Let's Be Real (and Maybe a Little Dramatic) About Your Stay!
Is Bloomfield House REALLY as good as the website says? Like, seriously?
Okay, let's be honest, websites lie. That's a universal truth, right? Pretty pictures, glowing reviews... it’s marketing! BUT... Bloomfield House? They mostly deliver. Mostly. Think of it like this: the website promises a perfectly toasted crumpet with just the right amount of butter. In reality, you get a *darn* good crumpet, maybe a *teeny* bit burnt around the edges, but still satisfying.
I went there last year and brought my husband Geoff, bless him. He's the kind of guy who'd grumble about a free cruise! and he actually *liked* it. Said something about the "tea being proper" which is high praise coming from that man. So, yeah, it's pretty good. Expect a cozy, welcoming vibe. Don't expect perfection. Embrace the charm…and maybe sneak a few extra tea bags from the breakfast buffet (I won't tell!).
One thing though... the stairs. OMG, the stairs! I was gasping for breath after reaching the second floor. If you're a stair-averse individual, specify a ground-floor room. Trust me. My knees haven't forgiven me yet.
What's the breakfast *actually* like? Is it just those sad, pre-packaged croissants?
Alright, breakfast. The *most* important meal, in my humble opinion. The pre-packaged croissant horror show is definitely NOT happening at Bloomfield House. Although there are options, trust me – go for the Full English. Seriously. Get the sausages, the bacon, the works. Their sausages are… *chef's kiss*. Don't tell anyone I said that, though, because I might have eaten three during my stay. Okay, four. Geoff, did you hear that?
They have decent coffee, too, which is crucial for dealing with the post-seaside-day slump. And the staff? Lovely, mostly. They'll chat (if you're up for it) or leave you to your newspaper and your fry-up (if you prefer). One morning, I was wrestling with the marmalade jar (the bane of my existence!), and one of the waitresses… bless her heart… came over and opened it for me. Small things, right? But they make a difference.
The only downside? You might waddle out of there. Completely stuffed. Totally worth it. Just loosen the belt a notch or two.
Is it noisy? I NEED my sleep!
Blackpool, in general, is a hive of activity, darling. So, yes, it *can* be noisy. But I found the rooms at Bloomfield House to be surprisingly quiet, especially in the back. Now, I booked a room overlooking the back garden (avoid the street-facing ones if you're sensitive to noise!), so your mileage may vary. But I slept like a baby – a very well-fed baby, thanks to that breakfast.
However, you are in Blackpool. You're not going to get complete silence. You *might* hear the faint strains of a seagull's squawk or the distant rumble of a roller coaster. Think of it as... part of the Blackpool charm. Embrace it! Bring earplugs if you’re a total princess (I did!).
What are the rooms like? Are they dated?
Dated? Well, let's say they have *character*. But in a good way! Think of it as "classic Blackpool". My room, thankfully, was clean and well-maintained, with comfy beds (essential!) and a decent shower. The decor wasn’t exactly cutting-edge, but it was comfortable and perfectly functional. No peeling wallpaper or questionable stains, thankfully.
Don't expect a minimalist, modern hotel room, though. This is a charming, traditional B&B, and the rooms reflect that. Expect cozy, not cold. Expect practical, not pretentious. Expect a place to collapse after a day of amusement park thrills and fish and chips. And honestly? That's all I ask for!
Is the location good for getting around Blackpool?
Location, location, location! And Bloomfield House nailed it. You're within a reasonable walking distance of, well, everything! The Pleasure Beach? A short walk. The Tower? Same. The shops, the arcades, the… (shivers)… sea? All within easy reach. My husband and I had a blast walking the promenade. Yes, we got caught in the rain (typical British weather!), but the location made it manageable. I even dragged Geoff to the Winter Gardens! (against his will, mind you, but he secretly enjoyed it).
If you prefer public transport, the tram stops are nearby. But honestly, you can get around quite easily on foot. And if you're feeling lazy (like me, most of the time), there are taxis a-plenty. So yes, the location is a definite plus!
What's the staff like? Friendly? Helpful? Eager to run away screaming?
The staff? Honestly, mostly lovely. They were friendly, helpful, and seemed genuinely happy to see us. No screaming. That's a good sign, right? They dealt with the usual requests – extra towels, directions, recommendations for fish and chips (always essential!). They even put up with my incessant questions. I once asked them for the best time of the day to go to the sand for some peace and quiet. Bless their hearts!
One lovely lady, whose name escapes me, was particularly patient with Geoff. He's… particular about his tea. She remade it *three* times for him without batting an eyelid. Now that’s dedication! So, yes, the staff are a definite plus. Makes the whole experience feel more personal. It's not just a faceless hotel; it feels like a home away from home (well, a home with better breakfasts, anyway!).
Would you stay at Bloomfield House again? The real question!
Absolutely. Without a doubt. Despite the stairs (grumble, grumble), the occasional noise (the seagulls are relentless!), and the potential for over-eating at breakfast, I'd happily go back to Bloomfield House. I'm already planning our next trip. Maybe next time, I’ll book a ground-floor room. And I'll definitely take more tea bags.
I think this is because the whole place just *feels good*. It's comfortable, it's clean, it's friendly, and it’s in a great location. It has character. It offers a decent breakfast. It is not pretentious. And that, for me, makes it a winner. Personalized Stays
