Promenade View

Promenade View is a small hotel right on the seafront — you can't get much closer to the beach than this. It's got a perfect 5-star rating on Google, although that's only from 3 reviews, so keep that in mind. Still, everyone seems happy. The website is sophialovestotravel.com if you want to book direct.

It's a good spot if you're coming to Southport for the golf. Royal Birkdale is a short drive away, and Promenade View is right in the centre of town, so you'll be able to walk to plenty of pubs and restaurants after a day on the course. Especially handy if you're here for The Open in 2026 (July 12-19).

From what I can tell, it seems more suited to couples than big families. It's not a huge place, so if you're bringing the kids, you might want to check they have family rooms available first.

Worth giving them a ring to check availability and any specific needs. You can find their number on their website. Parking in that area can be tricky, so it's worth asking them about that too before you arrive.
