Reviews
This coworking spot was fantastic. I felt right at home from day one and was incredibly productive there. Duncan created an amazing shared space, and I met lots of remote workers. The huge, comfortable kitchen was perfect for gatherings, we had great conversations there. There were also group activities like walks that made my stay even more enjoyable. I improved my English thanks to meeting many native speakers. I’m very grateful for the opportunity, thank you so much! 😊 Overall, it’s a comfortable, welcoming place that I highly recommend. See you next time!
Great coworking coliving place on the beach in the UK
This is my 4th year in a row staying here. It is a wonderful co-working place that gives you the opportunity to meet people from all over the world and learn from them. You get to learn about different places they come from, where they have been and the type of work they do. It gives you great ideas! The house has a variety of rooms to choose from, a wonderful kitchen and a great co working room. Duncan, the owner, arranges great weekend excursions, guests cook group dinners and nightly outing to pubs and sporting events. I highly recommend and hope to be back next year!
I was there for about three months, mainly because I had doctor's appointments in Manchester, but I work in online sales, and that's my day job. I think the host of this co-living space can't handle criticism, and he shouldn't be running such a place in terms of interpersonal relationships, because he's simply someone who has mental health issues himself. That's my opinion. For example, it was enough that I pointed out several times how dangerous it is when someone leaves the oven on overnight and you come into the kitchen in the morning to find it full of gas. This happened three times, He sees it as criticism if you tell him to change this and behaves like a spoiled child and will ask you to leave than...... He's unable to accept other opinions and feels directly attacked, which manifests itself as Kayla describes below. This makes the atmosphere unpleasant because not everyone wants to be a sheep in the flock and behave like that. The rooms are small but cheap, and there are many other good accommodation options in Blackpool if you check the relevant websites. The kitchen is large and spacious, as is the co-living room. During my stay, many guests weren't from the online work sector, retirees between 60 and 70 years old, or simply Airbnb guests.
Very good place to stay for short or long term! Everything is very well structured and organized: a fully furnished kitchen, a large working room with monitors, cleaning always maintained, washing and drying machines, rooms with their own sink, and a stable and fast internet connection. The price is very attractive, and there is a great supermarket nearby. The beach is close, and Blackpool is logistically well located for reaching Liverpool and Manchester.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Absolutely. Flexibility is one of the best parts of coworking. Most coworking memberships are month-to-month, so you can quickly adjust your space preferences according to your unique requirements and the size of your team. Whether that means upgrading the space or downsizing it or even completely changing the type of coworking subscription that you use, you always have the option to adjust as you go.
It may be possible to adjust your membership before current membership ends, but you will have to discuss and negotiate directly with Somewhere Different, who is more than happy to help out.
-
Most, if not all, amenities are available to you as a member, regardless of the type of membership. Some shared spaces, like the meeting rooms, need to be booked in advance and private offices are only available for those with a subscription. However, all the other areas, like the lounge, kitchen and breakout spaces, are usable by every member. All complimentary services are available and anything ancillary can be purchased or negotiated with Somewhere Different.
-
Yes, you can certainly take a tour of the space before signing up for a membership. In fact, it’s encouraged, to help you get a feel for what your workday will look like. Reach out here to set up a time to come and see the space.
-
Open desks may be the ideal choice if you thrive in a collaborative environment and value the opportunity to connect with fellow coworkers. Dedicated desks, on the other hand, provide a designated space with shared community amenities, catering to those who seek a balance between privacy and interaction.
For ultimate focus and private interactions, private offices are best for solo individuals and teams that seek uninterrupted productivity.
Selecting the most suitable workspace for you typically hinges on your work style and preferences, but it can also be determined by the type of work that you do, its duration, and whether you work alone or in a team.
-
While storage in coworking spaces is generally limited, and mostly reserved for members with dedicated desks or private offices, you should always check with the coworking operator about additional storage solutions. Fill out the form on the right side of the page to reach out to them and learn all about the available options.
