“Craig-Y-Don positions itself perfectly for families wanting that classic Blackpool experience, right on the South Shore. I think the included breakfast and evening entertainment take the stress out of planning, leaving more time for the beach, which is just across the way. For a fuss-free stay, particularly with kids, it ticks the right boxes.”
