The Seaside Suite - Apartment

Alright, so you're coming to Southport and need a place to crash? The Seaside Suite is smack-bang in the town centre, which is handy. I had a quick look and it's got decent reviews online – I'm seeing an average rating of around 7.5 out of 10 from over 30 reviews on that Bluepillow website, so it can't be half bad for a budget option. Plus, it’s an apartment so you get a bit more space than a standard hotel room.

Now, don't go expecting the Ritz, like I said, it's a budget place, but the location is spot on. You're right in the middle of all the shops and near enough to walk to the Marine Lake and the pier. Being an apartment, it’s probably better suited to couples or maybe a small family who don't mind being close. If you're coming for The Open at Birkdale in 2026, you'll probably want to book well in advance, as anywhere decent gets booked up quick.

One thing to keep in mind is that being in the centre, parking can be a pain. You'll probably have to use one of the public car parks, so factor that into your costs. Also, double-check the check-in times when you book, as apartment places aren’t always manned 24/7 like a proper hotel.
