About
The Avon
The Avon sits on Albert Road in Blackpool's Centre district, about a 10-minute ride from Blackpool Zoo and a short walk from the seafront's attractions. It's a 3-star guesthouse that leans on simplicity: clean, functional rooms, a lounge area, and a host who guests repeatedly mention by name for their warmth.
The hotel keeps things straightforward—free private parking, free Wi-Fi in public areas, and rooms equipped with kettles and flat-screen TVs. Breakfast is served and gets consistent praise for its variety and freshness. The Avon suits travellers who want a comfortable base without frills, and the on-site parking is a genuine bonus in a seaside town.
