Things to Consider on a Self-Catering Staycation in Blackpool

Are you looking for a weekend away in Blackpool? A self-catering staycation in Blackpool is a great option for a family-friendly holiday, or even a weekend getaway with your friends.

At Empress Hall, we can help make your staycation a lot of fun. We have 10 beautifully themed bedrooms, so there is plenty of room for you and your extended family.

A Weather-Friendly British Holiday

Planning a holiday in the UK can be tricky, as let's face it, no one knows what the weather is going to do day to day. At Empress Hall, we've got you covered, even if it’s raining, because our self-contained holiday home has been kitted out with all the mod cons.

Child-Friendly Holidays in Blackpool

There's plenty to do here for the kids, including an indoor cinema room (complete with a popcorn machine and sweets trolley), plus a full games suite including a pool table, hockey table, table football and a retro games machine and a brightly-coloured garden. There’s also an Xbox room to enjoy. We’re pretty sure they’ll be entertained for hours, giving you some peace and quiet.

Family members can travel from far and wide and park on the property. And with parking for up to 10 cars on site, you don’t need to worry about extra parking costs in the centre of Blackpool.

Exploring Blackpool With the Family

If you want to head out and explore Blackpool, you won’t be short of things to do. We are centrally located, so you won’t have to walk far to soak up Blackpool’s lively atmosphere.

Blackpool is probably most famous for its Illuminations, and if you haven’t seen them before, it's a real treat, particularly exciting for the kids. They run for 66 days a year between September and January, making Blackpool an ideal place for a winter getaway with an illuminating atmosphere.

The Ultimate Ticket

Other popular options include the Pleasure Beach resort, Sandcastle Waterpark, Madame Tussauds Blackpool and the Blackpool Tower attractions, including a circus and a dungeon. Make sure you grab The Ultimate Ticket for discounted entry into all of them.

Finish the day with a lovely meal or fish and chips on Blackpool’s seafront. If you don’t fancy that every night, no need to worry because at Empress Hall we have a fully fitted kitchen and an extensive open-plan dining room for you all to enjoy a shared meal and long conversations into the night over a glass of wine (or maybe try out our cocktail-making kit?)
