The 10 best places for Sunderland fans to stay in Blackpool, according to TripAdvisor

The Black Cats will take on The Seasiders at Bloomfield Road on Tuesday January 1, leaving fans with the opportunity to tie in an away trip with New Year's Eve celebrations in the fun-loving coastal town. See the full fixtures here.

If you're thinking about making the trip, here's a list of the top 10 hotels in Blackpool, as ranked by users on TripAdvisor:

Kings Hotel, New South Promenade

A beachfront hotel with rooms starting at about Â£44 around New Year, with free WiFi, parking, and breakfast included.

Clifton Court Hotel, Clifton Drive

Situated on the seafront with prices from Â£25 per person (though likely to be more at New Year), including "a very English breakfast".

New Guilderoy Hotel, Holmefield Road

This is a hotel for families and couples only, with rates starting from Â£15 per person - though, again, New Year may well see you paying more than double that rate.

North Ocean Hotel, Promenade

Rooms start at about Â£59 a night, depending on who you book through and for which dates. Reviewers praised the quality of its rooms and the friendliness of its staff.

Maples Hotel, Queen's Promenade

One of the more comfortable options. Rooms at New Year look to cost around Â£90 or more depending on what you want.

Adelaide House Hotel, Adelaide Street

This is a hotel that pulls out all the stops at New Year, so a good place to stay if you want to make it a big celebration. A three-night stay from the 30th to the 2nd with a full programme is available for Â£260.

Hotel Craig-Y-Don, Promenade

A popular place to stay on the seafront, so you may struggle to get booked. Sea views, free internet, a good location and a breakfast buffet are on offer.

Big Blue Hotel, Ocean Boulevard

A four-star hotel, complete with a fitness centre if you want to burn off any festive pounds. But expect to pay upwards of Â£100 a night at New Year.

The Colwyn Hotel, New South Promenade

Billed as a "quality-yet-affordable" hotel, rooms here are reasonable - but at New Year you will probably have to book for a minimum of three nights, costing from Â£135 in total.

Elgin Hotel, Queen's Promenade

An option if you're pushing the boat out, this comfy and colourful hotel offers three and four-night deals which include a New Year House Party, ticket to the Blackpool Tower, other festive events, and half board. Three nights will cost you Â£366.
