It's a good destination in a useful location. We did a night-stop there in May. All very friendly and easy. Landing fee for a 1090 kg AA5B was about £16 (so not a lot given the facilities). We stayed at One South Beach hotel, very good except for the Wi-Fi which was only workable around reception and wanted far too many personal details but it happily accepted a completely fake set of details. Taxi to and from the airport was c.£3.50 (01 253 401 000). We ate at the Montague restaurant, very good. Oh and there is an excellent cat resident in the light GA reception and briefing area. On the way back from that trip (which went all the way to Stornoway) we stopped at Blackpool again for refuelling and a quick lunch at the pub by the Premier Inn just behind the GA office. Not our usual choice of eatery but the bean-burger was rather good and they had the decency not to charge for soda water (which hotels on Stornoway do).
