Bay Tree House Bed & Breakfast

If you're looking for a comfy base for exploring Southport, especially if you're here for a bit of golf, take a look at Bay Tree House. It’s got a cracking Google rating – 4.9 out of 5 from 47 reviews – which is always a good sign. It's not directly on the coast, but it's in the town centre so you're a short walk from Lord Street and the shops. Plus, if you're planning on hitting the Royal Birkdale for The Open in 2026, it's a decent spot to be.

The rooms are modern – they've all got those big flat-screen TVs and minifridges, which is handy. There's free WiFi too, and parking which is a real bonus around here. They also have a lounge where you can chill out, which could be good if you're travelling as a couple. It's probably not ideal if you're bringing the kids, though – seems more set up for adults, from what I've heard.

It's open from 9am to 9pm every day, so getting in shouldn't be a problem. Give them a ring on 01704 510555 if you've got any questions or want to book direct.

One thing to note: parking in Southport can be a pain, even with free parking at the hotel, so plan your trips carefully if you're driving around.
