The Bold Hotel

Alright, so you're looking for a decent hotel right in the middle of Southport? The Bold Hotel on Lord Street is a solid bet. It gets a 4.3 out of 5 on Google from over 2,000 reviews, which tells you something. It's not the cheapest – think mid-range pricing – but you're paying for location and a bit of history here. Plus, being family-run usually means they care a bit more, doesn't it?

They've got a bar and restaurant downstairs, which is handy. It's open early until late every day (7:30 AM to 11:00 PM) so you can always grab a bite or a pint without wandering too far. I'd say it's a good spot for both couples and families, given the location and how they run things. If you're coming for The Open at Birkdale in 2026, this could be a good shout if you want to be closer to the town centre after a day at the golf.

It's right on Lord Street, so you're in the thick of it for shops, restaurants, and the pier. You can't get much more central in Southport than this.

Give them a ring on 01704 533521 to see what deals they've got, especially if you're booking well in advance for the golf. And remember, Lord Street parking can be a pain, so factor that in.
