Decent place to shop within a short walk of the promenade. Lots of staple high street stores and more. Clean and well maintained despite probably getting a lot of foot traffic because of where it is.
This is the best place to not only shop in Blackpool but to park aswell. The Houndshill carpark is a multistorey that then gets you into the shopping centre and nearby shops. The Houndshill has all the big hitter shops and then takes you out into the rest off the shops aswell as the dungeons and entrance to Blackpool Tower. Parking is reasonable and access to shops is perfect
The shopping centre itself was clean and very spacious. The one big downside was the size of the lift. It was tiny. I could only just get my wheelchair in, I can't see a double pram fitting.
We liked it here. Lots of the major retailers here. Clean and tidy and good for shopping if its horrible outside and everything is under one roof. Also good for shopping in nice weather 😅
Nice to see a shopping centre with nearly all retail outlets open and trading. Easy to navigate around the centre, connected to a car park and in the middle of many seaside attractions. Not too expensive to park either.
Very good variation of shops, very clean and tidy. Well lit. Staff within shops very very helpful and happy to recommend others within complex and around and about. Shops within have a good range of stock, friendly and helpful staff. Would have given a 5 but P.A system kept saying there was an incident and may have to evacuate complex but no reasons given or timeframe. So that put us off a little, either evacuate or leave announcement till there is a need to. Don't know about others but left me and wife on tenterhooks whether to carry on shopping or not.
All in all though it's a great place, and even in the heat cool air flowing through.
As a shopping centre it's much the same as any other anywhere else in the country predominantly clothing and footwear stores with the odd speciality shop thrown in for good measure, it was clean and tidy and on the level we we're on there was surprisingly very few empty units and in fact the biggest of those was under renovation for a new store opening which given how these centers have struggled through the pandemic is really good news.
If you need refreshment there's the usual plethora of coffee/donut/sandwich shops to choose from and there's on-site parking though we didn't use this so I don't know the cost or how hard it is to park there.
Overall definitely worth a wonder through if your in Blackpool
All the major retailers you need, such as Primark, plus good places to eat at, free toilets, comfy seats and the Centre is kept clean. I like the events that they put on during the first Saturday of the month as well. Today they had a Wildlife day which Sealife down the road helped out with and it was popular with the kids which was nice to see. They even had a guy dressed as a Shark walking around which was quite funny. Always like a walk through the Houndy.

Very clean downstairs in the Shopping Mall itself but upstairs in the Ladies Toilets, there was a nasty smell on the entrance and got stronger when you got further into the facility. There was a cleaner but she didn't look like she wanted to be there and wasn't taking any pride in her work there was still water everywhere after the mopping and wiping.
Another gem in the town.all under one roof. Competitive prices. Lots to do plenty of places to shop and eat .easy parking.lots of disabled parking .I would recommend it to everyone
Nice shopping centre, plenty of shops, sometimes could do with more places to sit but no issues.
Haven't been for a few years, so there has been some changes, old shops replaced by new ones. Still plenty of bargains to attract shoppers had to come out of one shop so I didn't get tempted to buy clothes I didn't need.
Not a bad shopping centre on one floor, good selection of shops and cafés, disappointed with the food hall upstairs, it was only a Burger King up there, not what I call a food hall. But it's great to look around the shops on the ground floor a few boutiques there too.
Free toilets upstairs lift available and up escalator only stairs to go down, clean and tidy and a god variety of shops all under one roof
Hard to judge on a shopping centre, but overall ok, could do with a bit more organisation on the car park with the roadworks going on around, and the fact the workmen will block the road so they can have a chat while people are queuing to leave it get into the car park
Great place to visit with lots of shops and goods at reasonable prices.
