Cottage ∙ 2 bedrooms ∙ 4 guests

Right then, looking for somewhere to kip near Southport? This cottage out Ormskirk way could be just the ticket, especially if you're a golfer. It's got two bedrooms, so probably best suited for a small family or a couple looking for a bit of peace and quiet. It’s not right in the centre of Southport, so you'll need a car or be happy with buses, but it's a decent spot if you want to explore a bit of the countryside too.

It's tagged as golf-friendly, which makes sense being so close to a few courses. If you're thinking of coming up for The Open at Birkdale in 2026 (that's July 12th to 19th, mark it in your calendars!), booking well in advance is a no-brainer. It's bound to get rammed.

It's hard to say too much more without knowing the exact place, but self-catering is always handy. I reckon you’ll save a few quid over eating out every night. Plus, you get to properly relax in the evenings.

Just a heads up, Ormskirk town centre can get a bit busy on market days (Thursdays and Saturdays), so factor that in if you're planning a trip.
