Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Blackpool
For most travelers, Manchester Airport (MAN) is the primary international gateway, offering the best balance of flight frequency and convenient train access to Blackpool. Although it is not located in Blackpool itself—none of these airports are—it provides a direct, stress-free rail link that many visitors find ideal. Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LPL) serves the nearby city of Liverpool and is geographically the closest to Blackpool, making a private taxi transfer a very swift option. Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA), serving the Leeds area, and Teesside International Airport (MME), located near Darlington, are better suited for those traveling specifically to those regions before heading to the coast. East Midlands Airport (EMA), situated in the East Midlands, is the furthest option and usually requires more complex travel planning. When choosing, consider that while taxi transfers provide unmatched door-to-door comfort, train services from major hubs like Manchester offer reliable, cost-effective travel for most visitors.

Blackpool|1.66km from city center
Loved our stay at the imperial hotel. The staff was so friendly and welcoming upon arrival. Room was cleaned before returning every night. Fresh towels and toiletries re stocked along with tea and biscuits. We stayed for 3 nights me the misses and our 2 children and loved every minute of it we will be back. If I had to be nit picky the hotel catering more for the older generation with not much for the kids to do. But we was out all day so didn't really matter. When we got back she still bopped aways to the 80s music dancing of the dance floor 🤣 oh and we could see the tower from our windowFromUS$71

The Norbrek Castle must have been lavish and upmarket in it's day but sadly looks sad and depressed now. However, we knew this when we booked and opted for it because of it's good points, the location is good with bus and tram stops outside, there is plenty of parking with an assured chance of finding a space if you take the car out and return, the room was as clean as it is possible to clean an old property with clean bedding and towels, the breakfast is basic but again satisfactory and the staff helpful and friendly. We did not, on this occasion use the pool or any of the entertainment facilities. All in all an ok choice for a couple of nights as somewhere simply to sleepFromUS$36

The hotel room didn't have enough storage for the three of our clothes. The towels weren't replaced every day which I find very poor. Also there was a mark on one of the towels and my mum actually found it rolled up and put back into storage in bathroom. This was extremely poor. The staff were really nice and friendly. I found the hotel to be clean. However, due to heatwave and lack of clean towels I find this really poor service. The breakfast had a good variety and was nice. It was also close to south pier but really good location.FromUS$109

We were dissappointed in the car parking situation. It wasn't exactly made clear that you need to drive into where it was marked exit and press for them to lift the barrier. Then unfortunately there was no room so had to call into reception to find out where we could park it was a bit stressful and could have been avoided. The hotel itself is very secure as you need to press for access to the entrance. Once up to reception on the first floor we were welcomed and allocated a room. The room was very tired with marked and scratched walls and ceiling. The bathroom had all the ususl facilities but a great big crack was in the tiles on the floor about two and half feet long. The shower head was dirty and the bottom of the main door was peeling away. The bed was two single mattresses put together which were obviously well used and meant there was a bump in between which wasnt very comfy. The bar was expensive for drinks and the staff seemed to multitask serving and cleaning tables etc. Some of the same staff were at breakfast and it just felt a bit overall short staffed. The breakfast itself was adequate but basic. We did notify reception on checking out of our findings as we are not usually ones to complain but the issues do make a difference and some just general maintenance.FromUS$78

We loved our stay from start to finish. Steve and Elaine are lovely and very knowledgeable about what to do around Blackpool. The room and overall hotel amenities are beautifully decorated and very clean. The breakfast options are lovely and generous too! So much variety, we tried four options between us two and everything was so yummy!!
The parking offered is only a few meters from the hotel which is so convenient. We are so happy of our stay :) thank you!FromUS$69
