Blackpool Cottages

Holiday Cottages in Blackpool

Until the 18th century Blackpool was an unassuming seaside hamlet named after a murky peat coloured stream that ran into the Irish Sea.  Cometh the nobility to take the sea water ‘cure’, followed swiftly by the railways and a flood of mill workers keen for fresh air and fun, and Blackpool’s popularity soared as ‘the’ place to be beside the sea.

Today, Blackpool still claims the crown as the UK’s top holiday destination and it’s a great location for your cheap cottage holiday.  Combine the myriad attractions, festivals and seaside fun of Blackpool with the lovely Fylde coast and you’ll find plenty to keep everyone happy.  Head south towards the super resort of Southport and north to the wild beauty of Morecambe Bay and ancient Forest of Bowland and enjoy walking, cycling, riding, golf, fishing and much, much more all found a short distance from your welcoming holiday cottage in Blackpool.
