Guests say
Drumford offers spacious communal areas and a fantastic location, making it ideal for group stays in Blackpool. Guests appreciated the proximity to transport links, local amenities, and the warmth of the property. The kitchen and lounge areas are well-suited for gatherings, and the property manager is noted as helpful. While some found the bedrooms and bathrooms a little dated and experienced issues with water pressure and cleanliness, the overall experience was positive, especially for those prioritising location and communal space.
Several guests noted issues such as stained bedding, dusty rooms, and hair found in beds, though some found the property adequately clean. Cleanliness appears inconsistent and could be improved.
The location is frequently praised, with guests highlighting its convenience for trams, parking, and nearby amenities. It is considered a major strength of the property.
The communal areas are described as spacious and comfortable, but some guests found the bedrooms cramped and the beds let down by poor quality linen. Heating was adequate in most areas, though a few rooms were reported as cold.
The kitchen and communal spaces are well-equipped for large groups, but issues with water pressure, lack of a washing machine, and maintenance concerns (such as loose furniture and dated bathrooms) were noted.
There were no mentions of welcome gifts or extra thoughtful touches in the reviews, so a score cannot be provided for this category.

The ground floor of this accommodation was great for our party, the lounge was large and comfortable although only seats for 10. The dining room and kitchen were great although a washing machine would have been appreciated when a number of us got a sickness bug . the children in our party loved the little snug area off the kitchen. The bedrooms were adequate although not all en-suite, the beds were comfortable but the bed linen was of poor quality and ill fitting, the duvet covers didn’t fasten and the divest kept falling out overnight. The bathrooms are all in need of refurbishment and although we were warned before we arrived about the water pressure problems in the house it made showering for 17 very difficult. We also were unfortunate to have the lights go off twice while we were staying, the house keepers came out on Christmas Day to fix this. The second time was the night before we left so packing up in the morning was a little tricky. I would say the house is in need of some renovation.
