Negative Reviews
negative:
Location not the best for main attractions
Despite being in the quiet North Shore area of Blackpool, previous visitors have pointed out that the location of the Ellan Vannin is not the most ideal - especially when it comes to visiting the town's major attractions. The Pleasure Beach, for example, is close to three miles away from the hotel.
negative:
Parking might not be available
As the hotel does not offer dedicated off-street parking, getting your vehicle parked might prove difficult - something that guests have encountered in the past. Street parking is possible, but spaces cannot be reserved.
negative:
Limited public facilities provided
Whilst the Ellan Vannin offers a licensed bar area and garden, the hotel fails to provide public facilities that are associated with larger accommodation choices. As a result, the no-thrills approach was somewhat of a disappointment for a small minority.
