Great B&B run by Diane and Paul, two lovely people full of warmth. Great breakfasts, ranging from fruit and cereal healthiness to the 'Full English Breakfast', which is also very healthy the way they do it.
Right on the sea front so you can step out of the front door and be right by the sea.

Tapas restaurant in the centre of Rochdale. Excellent food and service in this busy place. You do tend to get a bit of a culture shock when you walk out from this Spanish themed place into a northern town!
