If it’s seaside you’re after then you won’t get much closer than this! The Dalmeny Hotel is right on the seafront at St Anne’s, close to the Pier and the town centre. Plus, Blackpool is only 15 minutes away.

Life is made easy for parents at this family-run hotel. There’s an OFSTED-inspected crèche (2-8 years) that’s free for residents, and the Jellyfish Club for 8-14 year-olds that’s open to 9pm most evenings. Perfect if you want a quiet supper every now and again – and if you want to go out all evening, baby-sitting can be booked. There’s quite often family entertainment in the evenings and special children’s meals are provided at child-friendly times. And let’s not forget The Spa which sounds like a great retreat for tired parents.
