“Lovely holiday, brill apartments”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 September 2011

Have just returned from these apartments. We stayed in apartment 104 and we had a fantastic holiday. We were a family of five and this apartment catered for all our needs, including 2 bedrooms, so we all had plenty of space. The bar which was run by the owners Sue and Steve was a bonus for us after a long day out at pleasure beach. My only dislike of the living room was that there was no fireplace with a wee fire for a cosy glow at nightime but in saying that, everything else was absolutely perfect. Oh yes and we all loved "Angus", the friendly dog downstairs, hope to see him again sometime.

Thanks to Sue and Steve for a lovely holiday, will definitely be booking these apartments again in the future.

“lovely”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 August 2011

Owners where friendly and helpful. The apartment was clean and a good size, it is a 5 min walk from central pier and the town center which was great as we could leave the car, which had a free parking place at the apartment. We had a great week in Blackpool.

“Best apartments in Blackpool - definitely be back!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 August 2011

My husband, kids and myself enjoyed a superb holiday staying at the Oakville. The apartment we were allocated was immaculately clean, tastefully decorated, extremely comfortable and well equipped to meet all our needs. (I particularly liked the high ceilings, giving the place a light and airy feel). The charming bar with its relaxed and friendly atmosphere was somewhere my husband and I looked forward to going each evening after a tiring day at the nearby beach/attractions. A huge plus for us was the games room next to the bar where we could see the kids playing at the pool table etc. from the lounge (but not hear them!!). Another bonus was the ample parking. If you are looking for quality accommodation and service at very reasonable rates then I would highly recommend the Oakville Apartments. We will definitely be back!

I'm so sorry your stay at Oakville Apartments was less enjoyable than that of the majority of our guests. Let me try to address some of your issues.
Although we have free car parking we don't allocate a parking space for each apartment as not all of our guests use their cars during their stay. The ones that do, we park at the front so they can have easy access to their vehicle.
The bar is only open during high season as we found there wasn't as much call for it during our quiet periods. We do state this in our terms and conditions. Also our out of season pricing reflects this.
We are constantly upgrading at Oakville and have been since we took over. Maybe the apartment you were in was due for redecoration this time.
We keep electricity meters in the apartments as we found most of our guests prefer to pay for what they use. We could put an extra £20 to £30 per week on to the price of an apartment but this would end up costing our guests more. This is also on our terms and conditions.
We don't put towels in to the apartments as we try to keep our prices very competitive and it would cost more for laundering. Athough we always keep some for guests who have forgotten to pack theirs. Which we provide at no extra charge.

“perfect for the nature of our journey”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 September 2010

From the first telephone call I had with Steve from Oakville Appts,I didn't need to phone round for other accomodation,as his,helpfulness,kind,friendly, 'nothing to much trouble for him' ,price and information regarding disabled access,as this was vital as my collegue and I where travelling with ladies with mobility problems. Location for us perfect,just a short walk to the tower and shopping area.Rooms clean and very well equipped with items you wouldn't usually find in appts (eg)shower gel and shampoo dispenser,washing up liquid,bleach ,air freshner, and a selection of condiments,all an added bonus and rooms spotless,Licensed bar and games room also an advantage as we where travelling with a mixed age range.Only problem we had was,one of the ladies walked with a frame on wheels which she could not get through the lounge door,but managed to walk with the wall and furniture. Marvellous time had by all.Thanks
