Doric Hotel in Blackpool, England

The hotel provides live entertainment every night of the week, including singers, comedians, and bingo. A dedicated children's entertainment room runs from 8pm, offering games and music supervised by the animation team. The games room includes a pool table and arcade-style machines for additional indoor fun.

All-inclusive packages cover breakfast, lunch, dinner, and selected drinks, with a three-course evening menu offering three choices per course. The restaurant caters to special dietary needs, including annotated menus for allergies such as milk. A nightly kids' menu includes familiar items like pizza, while adults can order from a separate menu during lunch hours.

Guests have free access to an indoor swimming pool with a sauna, steam room, and spa bath (jacuzzi). A heated outdoor pool with a sunbathing patio is open during the summer months. Towels for the pool area are available at reception at no extra cost.

Rooms include en suite bathrooms, tea and coffee making facilities, a TV, and radio. Family rooms offer bunk beds or two double beds, and sea-view rooms are available on higher floors.
