We decided to stay in Southport so we could visit Martin Mere and dunes and forest at Formby. The hotel offered an excellent rate, so we booked a double executive room for 2 nights. Very large Victorian hotel, already decorated for the festive season (3rd November)! Lovely open fire to greet us, very courteous staff, simple check in and a... more

If you must stay here refuse any room on the 4th floor, especially room 403. These are miniature rooms, located in the roof space, with miniature fixtures and fittings. In a civilised world they would be called garret rooms. They are "served" by lifts which will not take more than 2 people and then only without luggage. We booked 4... more

No really, none what so ever - not even a heated towel rail. It was quite a cool evening and getting colder as it does... more
