Myself my wife our little Boy and 3 dogs ( a jack Russell a whippet and a greyhound ) stayed at this beautiful and very friendly hotel for 2 nights . From the minute we arrived to the minute we left we were made very welcome by Lyn and Lydia . Today it is a dog friendly hotel is an understatement. There was everything you needed for ourselves and the dogs to make this the perfect little break that we needed . Thank you again for such a great break and we will definitely be back again soon .

We had a wonderful stay at the Mayfield Hotel. Lynn and her daughter were incredibly attentive from start to finish. We stayed in the family suite with our teenage daughters and were blown away by the facilities—everything was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and had a real home-from-home feel. We’ll definitely be returning, next time with our dog Coco! Highly recommend.

Just came home from a one night stay, and I fell in love! It’s a lovely cosy feel. You are made to feel very welcome, the place is a home from home and felt like I was in my own house! I love the decor and old style furniture and bold prints and colours! Place is spotless, towels are fab! Facilities are great, everything you need. Hosts are lovely ladies. Bed was a little hard for me and some minor repairs need doing, but it was a perfect base for us. We will be back with our doggies next time!

Welcoming, warm & comfortable. Lynn and Lydia were perfect hosts. A perfect stay if you have dogs. And just as perfect if you don't. Great location on a quiet road 5 minutes walk from the promenade. The most comfortable bed I have slept in whilst away from home! We won't hesitate to stay here again if we should revisit Blackpool.

We had a great stay at the Mayfield. We stayed in Blackpool for a Christmas night out and booked the two rooms on the top floor. We even had a little kitchen area all to ourselves. The breakfast was fantastic, the rooms very clean and comfy. We had a get a taxi to the centre/Tower area, but that was only fiver. I would definitely stay here again when I come to Blackpool with my partner. Thanks, The Mayfield

We really enjoyed our time staying in this hotel, it was perfect for our family of 5 (2 adults, 2 young kids and a dog). We didn't take any pictures in the room but everything was expected from the pictures online and the hosts were lovely. We will definitely be going back again. Location was perfect for us, a quick tram ride away to coral island etc.
