“THE place to stay in Southport”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 April 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Ok so there isn't a Spa and Fitness centre, miles of corridors and loads of staff but what there is is 'small and perfectly formed'!! They have tried to think of everything from bath robes to binoculars!! We, myself and 3 friends, stayed for 2 nights in order to do a bit of shopping. We chose the hotel because of the Trip Advisor reviews and have to say that all the reviews are correct. We were greeted at the door, help offered with the cases, registered and shown to our rooms with the offer of a pot of tea - all within the first 10 minutes. Everything was spotlessly clean, spacious and in good working order! This is a first class, small hotel with the (much lacking in larger hotels) personal touch. Breakfast (superb) was all served to you, perfectly cooked and loads of choice. Advice and guidance given for eateries on request. Well done to Paul and Trina - they have got it just right and we hope to visit again. For evening meals we went to Saahil (Indian bring your own alcohol) on Lord Street and Bistro Bar Med on Coronation Walk (£3 in taxi from hotel). Both very nice and friendly. The Bistro was exceptionally friendly and the food and service could not be faulted. Another Gem is the "Inn Beer" shop where you can sit and choose from a huge assortment of beers and lagers - the atmosphere is wonderful and everyone is so friendly :-) All the above Highly recommended.

Room Tip: Good location near the North end of Lord Street.

“Must be the best hotel in Southport”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 October 2010

person found this review helpful

Lovely big room with great view of the Marina. Some nice touches, fresh milk and water in refrigerator. Flat screen TV, free wi-fi and reclining chair. (Only one). Nice bathroom with big bath and shower over. Private off-street parking. Breakfasts are to die for, couldn't think of anything to improve them. Home made marmalade and jam too. Nothing was too much trouble for Paul and Trina. We have food allergies, for which they catered quite happily. Southport is good for shopping, lovely architecture. Easy access to Liverpool by train, definitely worth a visit. One hour from Blackpool for illuminations, have to be seen at least once. Thoroughly recommended.

“A very enjoyable stay at this small hotel”

My wife and I visited Southport for one night to attend a Tennis club reunion. After our last dreadful stay in Southport at the Royal Clifton (see review) we were very wary and were guided by the good reviews for this hotel on TripAdvisor. We were not disappointed. We were warmly welcomed on arrival by the owner and offered a cup of tea and cake once we had unpacked. Our room had a nice view of the sea/marine lake and was very well appointed. The bed was most comfortable and the bathroom provided with very pleasant toiletries. The hotel is small and with no lift, as far as we could ascertain, but there are ground floor rooms available for those that cannot manage stairs. The car parking is adequate and it is possible to park on the road if the car park is full. Breakfast was great and cooked to order. All in all this was great value and we will certainly stay there again when we are in the area.

“Excellent - thoroughly recommend Waterford Hotel, Southport”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 October 2010

We stayed here for one night on Friday 24th September. We chose it having looked at Trip Advisor reviews and we were delighted with our choice. The hotel is immaculately presented in its public areas, as was our good-sized bedroom. The bed was very comfy and the bathroom well stocked with good toiletries. The owner, who greeted us and offered us a tray of tea on our arrival, could not have been hospitable. He carried out bags for us as there is no lift and later organised a taxi for us when we went out. Our breakfast was delicious. This is a real find and we hope to stay there again.
