Nice to see that the towels are in the bathroom where they should be.
I absolutely love Blackpool. Never been to the Craig y don. But yes would stay if I had to. Lovely and clean. Not to badly priced. Go to Blackpool every year. Absolutely amazing.
I was expecting it to be cheaper than the price you paid. It’s a Blackpool classic hotel that I’d imagine is always busy. The noise would drive me mad though but the entertainment looked good.
Love the cragg y don . Was here last in jan for one night , they upgraded me to a double , sea view free of charge . It was lovely and warm and really cosy . Breakfast lovely too . Will be goin back with my family soon . 😊
Looks Clean but I think dated and tired
My friend is staying in there at the beginning of April. I shared your video with her, so she knows what to expect :)
Looks very clean and tidy. £99 for dinner B&B for 4 nights sounds like extremely good value for money. Lack of mattress protectors in this day and age is just really weird. Excellently presented review, clear, concise and covers everything you need to know.
Very dangerous with bath shower , no anti slip mat in bath if u use shower
Breaks to Go coach service based in Glasgow, but goes through out the UK . What get the coach from towns to hotels not just here, but a list can check via website. Price includes coach, hotel bb& evening meal, and tram/bus pass for your stay.
Brilliant vid most useful ty❤
Thanks for another great review paul nice hotel and clean
Yes we would. We love watching your reviews. Honest thorough and great video. Thanks Paul.
I think the bibles were called Gideon bibles. It's a charity. The hotel was clean but no frills. I like a bedside lamp. Not sure I'd want the entertainment.
The Hotel looked fine to me I have been past the place many times over the years don't know why but it's never appealed to me to stop there I think it's the name it just don't sound right. A lot of places in Blackpool are dog rough but I think there all upping their game these days as folks expect a lot more for there money the price you paid I suppose wasn't out of the way as you say the poor old single traveler is usually penalised as regards Hotels.
Hi Paul I stayed there in 2019 I didn't think much of the hotel or room I had ... Just basic hotel
Been this hotel lots of times I'm here right now. Nothing wrong with the hotel but I'm being woken up by a howling dog sounds like the dog is crying to get in can't make out where the howling is coming from.
Great review, enjoying your videos!
Looks good my friend. Hotel looks great. Often find that travelling alone you seem to pay more. Alway charge a single supplement when booking why they have single rooms in hotels. Seems solo travellers are penalised.
From the outside I wouldn't have known it was a hotel (from a distance) more a restaurant. Your room was really good and clean great for the price. I'd stay there looks like a nice hotel and I'd love to watch Liam perform he's great. Brekkie looked appetising glad to see you had your Weetabix 😂 Maybe there was a Line dance convention on. Thanks Paul 🌼
Thanks for watching!
My friends ex runs the hotel but it looks clean and tidy
Been to the Balmoral. The staff were lovely couldn't do enough. Booking in was a bit of a faf. The room see veiw , soo small the bed stopped the bathroom door from opening full. Room was extremely small. It was a very hot time of year so room was like a greenhouse, witch didn't help my menopause. It was like they had cut one room in half,would never stay there again! You don't always get what you pay for!
Love the Craig y don have been numerous times with my grandchildren and with my husband...The only problem been its become very popular and we can't always get in the days we want...That have to be when the children or on school holiday's... I would definitely recommend it But if I do I may not get in myself..lol.
Hi Paul. I am going to give my analysis on first impressions. Your room was small, but i suppose was adequate for you. The bed seemed quite small for a big fella. You noted that there was no mattress protector. No soap or dispenser in bathroom. I also noticed the rear end of the bath was not flush with floor, something wrong there!. There was also a large crack in the bath panel rear end as well. To some extent the room just looked tired and basic for 'want of a better phrase!' Again Paul this is just my initial observations of the room. You mentioned the noise above you. That could not have been fun, although you said you slept okay. However, Paul you said the food was okay and yes it did look delicious. You said the staff were nice and helpful and that was nice for you. Overall Paul i'm not sure whether i would want to book a room there to be absolutely honest. The cost i think, yes was reasonable. Overall, could do better in relation to room preparation. I understand Paul that it is not described as a luxury Hotel, but basic attention to detail would be nice don't you think?. Lastly if staff see something in a room that needs maintenance intervention why don't they inform them. Its quite simple.
This place is lovely and clean. £99 from mon to fri is a great price, you would pay that for the food alone.
Hi Paul we booked this hotel year before covid for Christmas but being in West Midlands we couldn't travel up there so they wouldn't refund us, tried to book last year as a last minute break only had a twin room think me & hubby are jinxed with that hotel lol 😂
Hi Paul have you ever stayed at The Stafford hotel,Albert Road, we just wondered what it was like as we're hoping to stay April next year going to see only fools and horses at winter Gardens
That room is so small, it's not for me. Compared to double occupancy the price is high. It's also quite an early departure time, is that a UK thing?
yes 10am is normal
Looks clean enough thank you great videos
How about a series on airport hotels.
I stayed at that hotel about 3 year ago paid for a Seaview room and had to complain at reception as got room at back of hotel and had to pay extra for the room I originally booked. Stayed about 3 days breakfast was OK, but on leaving hotel after my stay the reception staff never asked if I enjoyed my stay if everything was OK and if I enjoyed my stay, and I said I would never stay at that hotel again
Enjoying your reviews. Seems like a good hotel.
Its ok l like the hotel sheraton its lovely great service lovely decor great food lovely rooms etc
yes lovely efficient staff
Hi Paul, it certainly is worth a stay .. it looks a fabulous hotel 😊👍
Not bad at all.
It looks a nice clean tidy hotel. The entertainment look goodBut and see what changes are made when the new extensions done
Think your content is fab, also you have a beutlful family, keep up the good work, greetings from Scotland Dottyxxxxx
Have ya tried the blenem mount next door Paul me and my mate stay in this one every year, we love it so friendly it's like home from home.
No never tried it but will keep in mind
🤩 Hiya Paul, apparently you offend people when you put the Bible in the bedside drew. Like apparently they dont like us saying Merry Christmas 🎄⛄. Ive stopped at the Craigy Don, last March. The room was very clean, plus the food was very good, staff all friendly, i would stay again, the tram was right over the rd. 😊 Keith was one of the friendly waiter, hes lovely. ❤️ Really look after us. In March, Monday to Friday, bed & breakfast 🥐 & evening meal, £125. 00. 😉🙋🏼♀️
It's at the hotels discretion if they wish to put a bible in a draw that up to them if people don't like it don't look x
"they dont like us saying Merry Christmas". This is a channel celebrating travel experiences - there's no place for ill-informed racist jibes.
Do cracking entertainment there.good stay
The Gideons placed bibles in hotels. They will give a free bible to anyone if you ask
Looks like a really good little room
Looks nice and clean and not a bad price for a sea front hotel, really enjoy seeing different hotels 👍 Thanks again and take care 😁
This is same owners that own the georgian hollies in albert road i said to review
will keep in mind
Yes I agree it's over priced for a single room, I would say £32 - £37 per a night but great video Paul.
yes, would stay, looks clean and meal looks good.
Another great review again Thank you x
For anyone wondering about the name it is welsh. "Rocks of the wave". It pronounced CRaI.g er don. Sò, Cryig er don. Properly named after a Llandudno suburb.
The "Y" is always pronounced urgh/er when used in the centre.
You can see Llandudno from Blackpool.......just.
(Im welsh)
Weve just stayed for 3 nights....it was worth it for the kids entertainment....excellent!
I'd like to try there sometime.
19 of us stayed there for the millennium for 5 nights thu-mon for £250 each all in . 6 family's we had a great time i was 20 at the time with my parents and brother 18 and aunty and uncle and cousin's 4 neighbours family's and friends we had live music every night and disco been back 2- 3 times since now i go abroad for new years for the last 20 years
This is a nice hotel but better to book a room on the top floor , if possible. I don't think the floorboards were to blame for the noise....possibly an amorous couple having a bit of jiggy- jiggy.
Pronounced Crige uh donn. Ige as in tiger, not nigel. It means rock of the wave, ie a rock that juts into the sea that the waves splash against.
Welsh is my language, that's how I know.
Paul hi, there is a Hotel near the Pleasure Beach, South Shore way, called The Carousel, would you check it out sometime, that and Tiffany’s please. Thank you
Thanks for the video, I always spot this hotel when visiting Blackpool whilst riding the tram. May give it a go 👍
Expensive compared to four stars hotels in Spain.Blackpool looks like it has seen better days( i'm from Belgium) visit Ostend instead.Hotel Cocoon
Black. Very. Nice. Lick. See.
Play. Bingo. See. Light. In. Oct. 😅😮
I might do some dancing Paul 😂 you are funny.
Great review. Wish you'd ' do' the Park House Hotel & The Sheraton - always fancied staying at those two. We usually stay (or should I say always 'play safe'} at The Cliffs, but I fancy 'risking' a change. (My husband says 'better the devil you know'. Ugh)
I like the look of the hotel, but if its a buffet breakfast. Then i want to help myself.
Maybe that's just me. Haha
Great video as always.
That was dear in comparison to a double room I notice no bedside lamp room looks fine 🍻
The lack of bedside lamp and shower gel just cheapened what was essentially a reasonable product.
Have been coming to this hotel for a number of years and will continue to do so. Love it. ❤️
Very good hotel,I have been many times with my wife, very good value, good food and entertainment, very clean, staff are very welcoming and friendly, the bar well stocked a little expensive, overall a good hotel.
I stayed there 42 years ago. No en suite then we had to share the bathroom. It was lovely then and even nicer now. A bargain for £99 mon-fri.
I have stayed in here twice with my eldest grandson we both loved it we were there for the elvis weekend there's a tram stop just across the road from the staff are really friendly and helpful we had a problem with the shower and it was dealt with in about 5 minutes from me reporting it to the guy coming down and saying that it was fixed like you said the hotel was very clean and tidy but I didn't realise that we had to bring your own shower gel which wasn't really a problem as there's a home bargains store about a 5 minute walk away from the hotel and the only downside was the creaky floorboards lol 😂
Just a through Paul. When you check the toilet, it might be an idear to lift both lids of the toilet. We recently stayed in a 4* at Manchester airport. The toilet looked clean until my partner lifted both lids. It was covered in facial matter. The cleaner obviously was only cleaning the top lid. We were moved rooms and upgraded.
CONSIDERING WHETHER ITS ONE PERSON OR TWO, YOU STILL HAVE PUT FRESH BEDDING ON AND CLEAN IT, OBVIOUSLY ITS A BETTER DEAL FOR A COUPLE, BUT OVERALL IT APPEARED WORTH A VISIT.
Stayed here last 3 years, great prices, clean, good food and staff lovely. Tram and bus stops facing and very near central blackpool. Will be there end of march
Hello Paul how are you love your vidio very interested of the Craig. D don Jon Paul stayed there last year at Christmas best wishes take care stay safe from Lynn x
The room looks really nice the only gripe I have cup is wrong way round we turn ours upside down where I work to keep dust out but all in all not bad till the next one 😊
I would stay at this hotel, but there would be two of us. Perhaps the more staying, get a discount. Very good with evening meal. Look forward to your next review Patricia 👍
Think its more of a coach tour hotel. Room looked nice, surprised they didn't squeeze a small double bed in and call it a cosy double!
Its best to take a partner or share with a friend. I think its expensive for one though. You are quite right. Janet
Just wondering Paul why you need a bible in a hotel room you are staying in for one night ?????
Looks really nice Hotel 👍👍Entertainment each evening and a nice breakfast 👍👍
Nice hotel room was nice but just think it needs a bigger topper on the mattress breakfast looked really nice I would stay there the price was OK Paul 👍 ❤❤
The name is a bit dated perhaps a hotel for people who live in houses called Dunroming?
If folks are returning regularly it indicates a good establishment.
Interesting to hear about the Balmoral. Waiting for you to visit Tiffany’s thank you
Was much better before covid, won't be back now !!!
We stay every year its been brilliant Great hotel and the staff are brilliant as well , you can not beat it xxxxxx
I always imagined that hotel to be of higher quality. Having seen the video, I wouldn't stay there.
Doesn’t look bad at all Paul. I would give it a go for that price
Looks good hotel I stay their price was good yes I check the offers on line or ring them 😅
The best hotel in Blackpool the price is great for what you get
Great price for couples.cheaper than staying at home out of season we're going to llandudno sommerset hotel 8th March 5days 4nighte ?109.THATS ON COACH AS WELL.
Good price
Hi Paul. Its a very nice clean hotel, yes I would stay there for sure. Just imagine if your line dancing neighbour upstairs was feeling amorous ????, you wouldn't get much sleep. :-)
Lol x
How about visit to sashas tib st Manchester brittanin hotel x
Hi mate, love your videos especially the Blackpool ones ! How are you finding a night at this hotel for that price ??? It’s way more when I’m Looking ! Cheers
Try booking.com or ring the hotel for a price they are doing short stay from £99 for 4 night hb depending on the time of the year
Yes seems good hotel better to go two people together price wise x
There is hotels b&bs that do use mattress protectors lol
stayed at the Balmoral in 1944!!!
I always thought blackpool had a twin -
That place STILL going!!!?
No i have stayed there coach party hotel xp
Looks ok and yes would stay with wife
Was it your bones creaking ?? 😂
Yes I blamed the floorboards
Think i will use it one day depends on pricing
Stayed there for a few years now it’s a great hotel
Was this originally the Roscrea hotel? It was owned by the Craigs when i used to be a waiter
I'm not sure
I stayed there in 1973. Ohhh try the pronunciation again. Lol. Say it as. Cryge uh don not eh don. Lol. But great video.
That's amazing because the manager told me how it was pronounced
Great hotel nice review
