Brilliant! Thoroughly enjoyed my week in Blackpool at Liberty's Hotel. Staff were very helpful and friendly. My room was lovely and comfortable. The meals were excellent, restaurant staff very helpful, friendly and efficient. Excursions were brilliant and very enjoyable. Our driver, Clayton was brilliant - very friendly, reliable. He kept us safe and well informed throughout the week. Have booked two more holidays today. Thank you Shearing for a wonderful experience in Blackpool! 😊
