Why are we selling? - Honestly we are selling as we are too busy. We are family run, daughter, mother and father. We bought The Fylde in 2006 with 3 bookings, after four years of hard graft, modernisation and fun my parents are looking at retiring and I would like a smaller business. We are reluctant to sell as we have a steady trade, excellent books and a lot of repeat guests.

Why consider us? – The Fylde International Backpackers is an established name and product here in Blackpool. Catering for walkers, cyclist, families, small groups and international visitors we offer a niche market different to any other property in Blackpool. Our location is ideal and we are within walking distance to all of the attractions that Blackpool has to offer. We are fortunate to have midweek trade as well as weekend and holiday trade. We have worked hard to achieve the standards we currently offer and have maintained and upgraded the property to a high standard. The Fylde has tremendous potential to optimise the bar and Evening Meals as we do not offer this service at present.

Any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Thank you for reading, Vicky.
