The breakfast the next day is continental which was absolutely delicious. Fruits & cereal to start with freshly poured tea & coffee & juices. Then a basket of warm pastries, ciabatta, Croissants & a lovely selection of jams. Fresh toast - both white & brown delivered hot to your table. The basket also included delicious salami, cheese & parma ham. Deliziosa!! The rate was very reasonable too for a Saturday night. Dont hesitate in booking here you wont be disappointed!! And as for us: We will definately return & we can't wait! Thanks again, Karen & Jimmy Butterworth x”

“Great model, easiest hotel I've been to for checking in and out. Loved the living space and kitchen, felt like a home away from home even though it was only a couple nights. The bed and pilows were amazing, best night sleep I've had in ages. Will definitely come again, and recommend!!!”

“Stayed 24th November for a cheeky one night away,The site was the cleanest site we have ever been too,toilets and showers were spotless,the girlfriend was over the moon with the free hair dryer (easily pleased).Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to visit Southport,”

“Lovely big place, with disabled access. Great freshly cooked breakfast (£7.50 extra) as I only stayed 1 night. Tea/coffee in rooms. Nice and warm & polite, nothing is too much trouble staff. Staying 1 night again soon.”

“Just had three relaxing nights here and I cant begin to tell you how FANTASTIC this place is. Pauline is an amazing host, friendly and welcoming from booking onwards, nothing is too much trouble. Barford House is ideally situated just the right walking distance from all attractions on the seafront, and perfect for Lord Street and all its shops/cafés and Restaurants. The station is a quick 15/20 min walk away making access to Liverpool easy and not at all expensive. The accommodation itself was immaculately clean, spacious, well equipped and in a quiet area of the town. You'd need to take your own towels and tea towels but that is no hardship at all!! To sum up, if you are wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life then Barford House is the perfect place for you !.”

“Just returned from a 2 night stay here with my wife and daughter , family room was perfect for us as our daughter is 6 and loved it being us all together , room was very clean and they added a nice touch with a Easter hunt for a hidden chick to redeem a prize from reception . Started the stay off really well , we stayed in the annex building of the hotel . It was quiet and peaceful in the evening . The restaurant in with the hotel was a beefeater restaurant/pub , we opted for the meal deal . So our daughter got free breakfast , and we got our breakfast and 2 course evening meal and first drink included . Food was great . Freshly cooked , even the hot breakfast . I think it was £5.99 for 2 courses for our daughter to add onto our evening meal . The staff in both the restaurant and the hotel were a credit to the companies . So friendly , welcoming and great at engaging conversation with us . Location was great as we went to formby beach before checking in ( around 20 mins away ) and then to Southport the following day in Uber which only cost £10 each way ! Thank you so much for making our little Easter getaway a happy one”

“Stayed with a friend and really didn't want to check out! Everything is done to a high standard the staff were lovely both on reception and in the restaurant .Great breakfast. All in all a lovely stay very comfy rooms and beds too! Highly recommended”

“I arrived at this Hotel, without a booking, and it has been one of the most stressful days ever. I was almost in tears; I was so exhausted. The staff there could not have been more helpful, kind and thoughtful. They got to be booked in and settled down with speed and grace. I was extremely grateful. My room was at the back of the hotel, it was quiet. The room was well-equipped and clean. Many thanks to the staff there.”

“Where do I start. First of all reception were very welcoming and even managed to give me a wet room as I am disabled. The lift is very secure and cannot be accessed unless you have a room card. Breakfast is superb with the highest quality produce. Th staff are young, friendly and very happy to help. Dinner is relaxed again with superb food. If you like a whisky the have a fantastic range and I personally have to recommend their cocktails. Rooms are spacious, clean and have very comfortable beds. May I also pass on our thanks to Jim for his hospitality. If you’re looking for a really good hotel then go to the Bliss.”

“An absolutely lovely hotel with very professional and friendly staff, great food & drinks, classy and comfortable rooms. I rate the hotel highly and will stay again.”

“The perfect room,for the perfect weekend. Spectacular view, perfect location. Metres from the fabulous promenade, with miles of flat ,wide,walkway. The sun terrace is a perfect place for a drink before evening meal,or,just sit,read,enjoy the sun. Very helpful staff throughout the hotel,underground parking,lifts to all floors. Fabulous decor in the lounge area. First rate. Highly recommended.”

“Lovely reception on a cold wet Friday in Southport, lift, stairs and public areas all clean, modern and well laid out. We were in the very top rooms, very clean, nice bed and reading earlier reviews the management have taken things onboard. We stayed one night, room a little warm, maybe turn the whole heating down 2-3. Other than that, shower, tv, drinks were amazing for the money.”

“A very nice room with a table and chairs to enjoy the view looking out to kings gardens, Comfortable beds and bedding , had a great nights sleep. Small kitchen area with everything needed for self catering. Staff were lovely. And a smashing breakfast in a nice dining room. We will certainly return!”

“Clean, safe and quiet. Great price, in a convenient location, shops, dining and bus stops right outside. Friendly staff. Decent shower and a powerful desk fan, which was welcome. We had a family room and my son said his bed was comfy.”

“An absolute joy to be here at The Royal Clifton nothing is to much trouble at all, Bedroom Suite was wonderful and the food excellent. We will be booking again next year as our experience was fantastic.”

“Was a little apprehensive after reading the reviews. However! What a delightful surprise... I'd booked with a friend and our dogs for one night .. the room was very spacious clean and looked like it had been recently decorated with a huge bathroom. The staff were very polite and helpful . The location of the hotel is perfect within walking distance to all the bars restaurants shops and the beach. Breakfast was a buffet style with lots of hot and cold choices. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks for a lovely stay !”

“Great place to stay for two nights. After we requested the tope floor before arrival they gave us a room on the top floor. Luckily, there was a fan as it was very boiling. It was very quiet (probably because it was the start of the week.) Very nice staff and nice breakfast. Very good location, very central with easy access to transport and things to do.”

“My dog GSD stayed on Mothers day weekend March 2025. Cruise seemed to have settled in well and came home happy , I felt so relaxed on the pre visit a month before and on the day and pick up the staff were amazing and they kept me informed he had settled via email and put this anxious fur mamma at ease would 100% use again. In fact Cruise will see you all again in July 2025 if not before . Thank you Cruise and Marie”

“We really enjoy eating here. The food is always really good, tasty, fresh and well presented. The service is excellent with friendly staff. It's on a bus route and is also quite close to Birkdale Station, so very accessible.”

“I booked two dogs in for daycare every day for a week, they're both Romanian rescues and one is elderly with dementia. The haven were brilliant with them both, they were excited to go through the gates each morning and one of them didn't want to leave! The staff were absolutely lovely and clearly took really good care of them, they got the biggest bed I've ever seen and they got to play each day, no one seemed to mind that my old one barks constantly and chews things either. I'd definitely recommend, especially if you have a rescue or a dog who isn't the easiest ❤️”

“This time was afternoon tea but as always from the moment you walk in, the staff are engaging, polite and courteous while Willing to help, everything was immaculate with the fine attention to detail making the difference. The food was everything you want. Fresh plentiful and tasted amazing. We had extra wine and chips and the bill was reasonable.”

“Loveky site, friendly staff, great facilities and Beautiful van. Customer service were so helpful with sll my queries and located us close to facilities as requested. Pool basic but lovely and clean.”

“Lovely place to stay, be nice to add some mirrors throughout the rooms tho for the ladies”

“We arrived here for a one night stay over the bank holiday weekend and we're greeted by a very friendly lady on reception. We had a nice big room with a fridge, kettle, hair dryer, bath and TV. The location is perfect, only a 10 minute stroll into town. Comfy bed and and a great breakfast too. A big thank you to all the staff for your hospitality, we will be back soon.”
