Rooms with sea views

The Headlands offers 40 en suite rooms, each with a TV, tea and coffee making facilities, and free WiFi. Many rooms have sea or park views. Family rooms include a wardrobe, a private bathroom with a bath or shower, and a hairdryer. Upper-floor rooms are accessible by lift.

Home-cooked meals

The hotel serves a 3-course evening dinner menu daily during the season for GBP 10 per person. Breakfast includes cereals, fruit, pastries, and juices. The oak-panelled dining room provides a setting for home-cooked meals.

Games and relaxation

The ground floor has a bar with a pool table, darts, and PlayStation game consoles. Guests can use the games room, television lounge, and sun lounge. The hotel also provides access to a golf course.

Near Pleasure Beach

The Headlands is on Blackpool's New South Promenade, a 5-minute walk from Pleasure Beach, Sandcastle Waterpark, and South Pier. The beach, with the world's largest glitterball, is across the promenade. Blackpool's trams and buses connect to other attractions like North Pier Theatre and Blackpool Grand Theatre.

Family-run service

The Headlands has been family-run for nearly 30 years. Safety features include fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and window guards. Other amenities include a computer station, free newspapers, and a TV in a common area.

“The Headlands strikes me as a particularly welcoming family-run hotel, set back slightly from the busier areas of Blackpool's South Shore. Its proximity to both the beach and convenient transport links enhances its appeal, making it easy to explore the wider area. I especially like the sound of the home-cooked meals and convivial bar, both of which suggest a genuinely hospitable atmosphere.”
