Grosvenor Apartments Southport

Grosvenor Apartments in Birkdale are worth a look if you're after something budget-friendly, especially if you're just needing a base. I wouldn't call them luxury, mind you, but the location is spot-on - dead handy for Birkdale station if you're coming by train.

They're not really geared up for families, I'd say it's more suited to couples or folks on their own. If you're coming for the golf, especially with The Open back at Royal Birkdale in 2026, booking somewhere close by like this will save you a fortune on taxis and parking. I can't say much about the rooms themselves, but the website is deals.vio.com if you want to have a look.

Don't expect loads of frills, it's definitely a "what you pay for" kind of place. But Birkdale's a nice spot, quieter than Southport centre, and you're close to the shops and restaurants there.

One thing to bear in mind: parking in Birkdale can be a pain in the neck, especially on weekends, so double-check what the parking situation is at the apartments before you book.
