In the Beginning

We always get asked about our BnB in Blackpool as to why we did it and what made us do it, so we thought we would give a little insight into how we started. It all began in January 2001 when we met in a place called Yeadon about 8 or so miles outside Leeds. I myself Steve lived in Newbury Berkshire and was working for an air conditioning company in Leeds and Dawn who lived in Leeds was working for a supermarket chain. We met whilst I was out on a works Christmas do and promptly started seeing each other which involved me driving from Newbury or where ever I had just finished work to Leeds on a Friday night usually taking a minimum of five hours. This went on for around seven years and during that time we both enjoyed coming over to Blackpool for a weekend stay, and we have stayed in many a B&B. So normally over breakfast we would talk about running a bed and breakfast ourselves and convincing each other that we could do this it can’t be that hard surely all you have to do is cook...
