Great 👍
Pros:

We only live 40 minutes away, but were working in Southport the following day, so decided to stay overnight to save driving in busy traffic the next morning. The room was clean and really comfortable. Outside there is scaffolding as work is being done, it does look run down outside, but don't let that put you off. Inside is lovely. Young lady on reception checked us im. She was lovely, friendly and extremely good at her job. My husband asked for an extra pillow, and within minutes one was brought straight to our room. Breakfast was really nice and great choices.
