Mode - the Old School House

This is only a review for apartment 7, and I can not comment as to the others in the block. We arrived on Saturday evening to find that the immersion heater had not been put on before out arrival, so we had no hot water in the apartment. I could not find the switches for the said heater, as there are 2 that need to be on. A call to the help line number was of little use, as the lady on the line clearly did not know what an immersion heater was, and kept telling me how to turn on the shower. A man was dispatched, but by the time he arrived, we had found the second switch, and turned the heater on. Unfortunately, it was to late to generate any hot water before we had to leave for the party for which we had travelled. The bracket holding the shower head was broken and totally ineffective, leaving you with no option but to hold the shower head in one hand and to try and wash yourself with your other. The drawers in the wardrobe in the double room collapsed into a twisted heap upon trying to pull one out, though 10 mins of banging and forcing managed to wedge them back together so they did not jam the wardrobe doors, though were not usable. The apartment could have done with a good clean from top to bottom, though wasn't to bad. It's a shame, because with very little outlay, it could be a lovely little apartment. The location is great, with plenty of parking on the street next to the apartment, we could not get onto the attached car park, but that was not an issue.

Really good , the fittings made the apartment feel quite luxurious, Despite being very cold outside we all were comfortably warm, There was adequate parking and the information we received was spot on. the short stay was certainly good value for money.

We stayed just out of Blackpool as we were looking for somewhere a bit more modern and with a separate bedroom for our little one. Mode at the old school looked perfect and had the added bonus of parking. The apartment appeared great, was clean and tidy and had everything you needed apart from central heating and a decent shower. Sadly the apartment was cold, there were only 2 heaters, a fixed one in the living room and a mobile one missing a wheel to share between the two bedrooms. We also had to turn on the hot water when we got in at 7.30pm, not ideal when we wanted to get the little one washed and to bed. We all wanted showers in the morning, this was electric so no issue with the hot water but the shower head kept flopping down and the water pressure was poor, not great when the room itself was very cold. Sadly this room didn't live up to expectations. We stayed in number 7 x

Our apartment which was located @ the back of the property was huge & fab .. a few areas were a bit tired .. the kitchen cupboards & main bathroom need some attention but all in all all good,it had everything we needed & more!! Be aware the hot taps are @ scalding point!!! & mind your head on the humongous flower basket located on the outside stairwell!! Great parking & good location!!

10 extended family members stayed at the Old School House for the September weekend. We had 3 apartments and loved them all. Each apartment had its own character and were spotlessly clean. Well done to Lyndsey who keeps the place ship shape and always went about her business with a smile on her face. The accommodation itself is only a 10 minute stroll to the square and buses are regularly available to Blackpool. Overall a lovely place to stay and certainly worth our 5 star review. We will return.

One of the best places we have stayed in, lovely and clean, large apartment, everything you need brilliant location, excellent for young children lots of room for them to play will definitely be back.
