“The Highlands, Bispham has bright, comfortable rooms and a location that's hard to beat, with transport links that make getting into Blackpool a breeze; the staff also earn high marks for their friendliness. While parking can be tight and some noise from the pub is to be expected, especially on weekends, it's a worthwhile trade-off for the convenience and welcoming atmosphere. A sea view from your room and on-site food add to the appeal.”
