Norland Hotel

Right, so the Norland Hotel, yeah? It's slap bang in the town centre, which is handy for nipping about. It's got a solid 4-star rating from over 300 reviews online, so people generally seem happy enough. If you're coming for a round of golf, it's worth a look as they cater for golfers. Give them a ring on 01704 530080.

It's your typical sort of hotel, nothing fancy, but clean and does the job. Seems to suit couples or smaller families alright. It's not massive, so probably not ideal if you're rolling deep with the whole clan. If you're thinking of coming up for The Open at Birkdale in 2026, you'll want to get your skates on and book well in advance, as everywhere gets rammed.

They're open all hours as you'd expect, being a hotel. You're right in the middle of everything so you've got all the shops and restaurants at your doorstep.

Parking can be a pain around there, so check with the hotel about spaces before you arrive. If you can't get parked there, there are a few pay-and-display car parks nearby, but they fill up quickly, especially on weekends.
