Just to confirm, we are full, but if anyone is thinking of booking somewhere & is not too sure about it, feel free to conact us & we can tell you if we have heard anything bad about it. The Blackpool grapevine works quite well, so if there are issues of any kind with a hotel/holiday flat, we usually hear about it.

Nothing to do with Abba tribute bands I am sorry to report....she has "found god" (probably lurking behind all the fur coats) apparently & is now trying to market herself as "An executive boutique hotel" or "A Christian Retreat" depending on what mood she is in. Just another daft marketing ploy in our opinion. Visit Britain have taken away ALL of her stars & she is not considered to be of a rateable standard by them.....speaks for itself really! As for the 5k a night....probably still trying to charge that, but we can't find anyone that stays there to ask - apart from the DSS mob she has living there at the tax payers expense! _________________ John & Jane, Langroyd Hotel, Blackpool.

It went up for sale at a grossly inflated price. She then put it up for auction..it went thru on 3 seperate auctions and never attracted a single bid. She has continually dropped the asking price & still had no interest. Still for sale today. _________________ John & Jane, Langroyd Hotel, Blackpool.
