    Nothing at all !!

    Everything ! … From the moment we arrived Chris the owner was so friendly and helpful, he checked us in, showed us around, then carried our luggage up to our rooms for us. The property was spotless, the rooms were lovely and clean with a lovely comfy bed. The Breakfast was gorgeous a lovely HOT fresh cooked ‘clean’ breakfast - no nasty greasy breakfast here - all served by Chris who is a lovely host and is very helpful and knowledgeable on the areas and where to go and what to do. A weekend in a beautiful clean Adult only hotel right across the road from the beach with such a friendly host, you couldn’t ask for a better weekend away. We couldn’t fault our stay all all and before leaving booked for our return stay.

    Nothing, this is an excellent hotel we couldn't find any fault with anything. Just wished we'd stayed longer two nights was not enough.

    Very clean throughout the hotel, our room was spotless and comfortable (room 5). Chris the host was very polite and helpful, Chris no 2 in the ln kitchen, breakfast was fantastic very fresh and tasty. We really enjoyed our relaxing stay, the hotel is at the north shore area which was away from the hustle and bustle of Blackpool, but only a ten minuet ride via the trams. We would definitely recommend this hotel and will stay here again

    The Fossil Tree ticked all the boxes for us pre stay and made even better by the warm hospitality shown by Chris & Christine during our stay. Well appointed rooms and fabulous breakfast in particular! The weather during our stay was not so good, but would still recommend a seaside walk into town as a good bit of exercise. If needed a shirt tram trip or if travelling in 2 or above Uber offers more value for money.

    All good for us.

    Excellent Breakfast. High quality, cooked to perfection. Lovely welcoming hosts into their spotlessly clean home. A very nice touch was the honesty bar. A great selection of wines, spirits beers and lagers. Not forgetting confectionery for those with a sweet tooth. Although we didn't use it on this occasion, when we return with friends I am sure we would spend an evening in the lounge and use the honesty bar. Chris, our host was very friendly and very knowledgeable about the area and local bus services. This will be our 'go to' hotel in future when visiting Blackpool area.

    There really wasn't anything to dislike, top notch place to stay.

    This hotel was the perfect venue for us and we will most definitely stay there again next year. The nicest surprise was finding a little tub of Gluten free biscuits in our room on arrival, as my husband is Coeliac. It was very much appreciated and something nobody has ever thought to do before. Also, they have an 'honesty bar' in the lounge downstairs which is a great idea, and again, something I have never seen in a hotel before.

    We found everything very satisfactory and have no complaints whatsoever.

    We found the hotel to be exactly what we needed. We were looking for a quiet hotel at the Northern end of Blackpool and the Fossil Tree fitted the bill perfectly. The breakfast was extremely tasty and ample and the addition of a Honesty Bar/Snack facility was a brilliant idea! Chris and Christine were very warm and friendly and were excellent hosts! Thank you both!!

    Loved our little stay at the Fossil Tree. Amazing service, fantastic food, and a reasonably priced 'honesty bar'. It's peaceful and quiet but only a short tram ride to the bustle with a tram stop very close to the hotel. On site parking is a massive plus too! We will definitely return.

    Nothing really only the steps to our bedroom.

    Lovely & clean modern room, 2 comfortable chairs & coffee table for relaxing, window with sea views, breakfast delicious & plenty of selection, didn’t use the car during our stay parking at the hotel, tram & bus stops just across the road running regular services, could also walk into Blackpool about a mile to the north pier.

    Only thing was it was a little further away from things than we thought if you walk maybe 40 minutes or more to pier however their was tram stop right over the road and that only toke maybe 15_20 mins depending where u stopped so it wasn't too bad. maybe would want it a bit closer to pier walking wise for us however that wouldn't put us off coming again purely in how good the place is and how good the hosts are worth the visit

    I liked the honesty bar it's a really good idea loved it .I also liked the fact it had parking and didn't have to pay for it .The breakfast was superb the room was very clean and spacious and the hosts were amazing really nice always asked how my day went and the hosts also went above and beyond by sorting out birthday balloons and cake for my friends birthday for when she arrived she loved it thankyou so much

    Maybe more stairs than we’d like but we didn’t request a lower level room, will do next time!

    By far the best things about the Fossil Tree Hotel are the wonderful hosts and their attention to detail. From the well stocked and reasonably priced bar to the excellent breakfast. Chris & Christine will look after all your needs, they truly are excellent.
