The Hideaway Southport

Right then, The Hideaway Southport. It's in Scarisbrick, so not right in the centre, but still handy for getting about. It's got a cracking 4.7 stars out of 5 on Google from 372 reviews, which is a decent sign. Seems pretty popular. Price-wise, it's in the two ££ range, so not the cheapest, but not bank-breaking either.

I reckon this place would suit couples looking for a quiet break more than a family with the kids. It's got that kind of vibe. They're open most days from 9 'til half 4, but watch out 'cause they're shut on Wednesdays. Give them a ring on 01704 548665 if you're thinking of booking.

Now, if you're coming for The Open at Birkdale in 2026, and let's be honest, who wouldn't want to see that, this could be a shout. It's not right next to the course, but a short taxi or bus ride will get you there. Just factor that into your plans.

One tip: give them a bell before you head over, especially if you're going outside of peak season, just to double-check they're about.
