Southport Coach House

Absolutely loved staying at the Coach House!

It's a beautifully restored property and you can see the love that's gone into the restoration. So many original features remain. The property is spacious, quirky and functional, and at the same time remains cosy, comfortable and peaceful. It's close to all amenities and a great location for many days out, just a short drive away. I stayed with family and having the main bedroom on the ground floor with a toilet just done the hall, was perfect for my mum. She has some difficulty walking so this was ideal. She did manage the spiral staircase to get up to the bathroom without too much trouble too. The property is very clean and tidy and well looked after. It's been a great week and we absolutely recommend this property and would love to stay again!

What an amazing quirky place to stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Coach House only wish we could have stayed longer. The property is situated in a quiet area about 25 minutes walk to town and not much further to the beach. Everything has been renovated beautifully: the spiral staircase is stunning,the exposed beams upstairs the gorgeous bathroom. The property had everything you could ask for and more. The pool table was a big hit! Alan the owner was friendly and helpful. He obviously has put a lot of time, effort and thought into The Coach House and it is somewhere we will definitely be staying again. Thank you

Stayed at Southport Coach House as a family of 4 with our children aged 12 & 14.

Lovely converted coach house with a quirky feel thay exceeded expectations. Pool table is a welcome addition when you have teenagers to occupy. Property owner very helpful with their introduction to the property on arrival and we have thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We enjoyed our stay at The Coach House as a family with three young children!

The property was very spacious and the kids enjoyed roaming and were never bored with a pool table, Wii and streaming subscriptions included to keep them entertained. Novel features such as the staircase and the kitchen being in the horse enclosure make the place memorable. The kitchen had everything we needed and the option of using the washing machine and other homely features is appreciated over the course of a long stay. We went during the autumn but could appreciate the garden would be good to use the supplied BBQ in warmer weather... the property is nicely enclosed and safe from the outside world! Considering the age and style of the building everything was very clean and the landlord has made a good design choice by keeping the living areas clutter free. We would recommend taking some slippers as the original flooring downstairs, a feature of the property that we definitely wouldn't change, can be cold as you'd expect. We loved the spiral staircase but please take note of this feature if it's something your travelling party could struggle with. The landlord is conscious of saving energy and reducing wastage, and the charm of the property relies on responsible holidaymakers taking care with its items and features which was fine by us. The landlord was available and responsive to messages if needed, and provided a bottle of wine to welcome us that was a lovely bonus! We preferred being on the periphery of the town centre that we walked into a couple of times in about 15 minutes, and used Southport as a bit of a base to visit Liverpool and nearby towns such as Ormskirk and Formby and the accommodation is ideal for that. This is a very friendly part of the country with plenty of culture to engage with as and when! Overall we had a lovely stay at the property and would recommend for most types of holiday goers.

Quirky and unusual building, with an interesting layout.

It is a big building that has interesting features downstairs, but perhaps doesn't make as much of the space as it might. The circular stairs take a bit of getting used to, but we didnt have to use them all that often as you have a downstairs bedroom with a TV and toilet off the kitchen. The kitchen is spacious but somehow lacks storage; there was "just enough" cooking and dining items . They are trying to be "eco friendly" but the lights in the kitchen need to be brighter. Beds could be comfier with better quality mattresses. We enjoyed our stay there, with good access to the town centre and several beaches, with plenty to do in Southport if you look for it.

Great property in a good location.

We loved the pool table for in the evening. We had a really nice break.

We had a very nice stay at The Coach House, very nice cottage with plenty of space and nice quirky touches in this fine old building.

There were four of us and our secret friend Goldilocks ;.) staying for a week and we had a great time here. We were left alone to enjoy our holiday but reassured if anything came up it would be attended to straight away. Alan was very helpful and engaging both at the beginning and end of our holiday and just a couple of texts in between to see if everything was ok. Just the right interaction without being obtrusive. I would book the Coach House again and may be back next year.

Our second visit to the Coach House, lovely private garden to the front of the property and secured parking.

Both our boys loved the first floor, their private tv with Netflix and a Wii console plus the pool table. Both the bedrooms and bathroom are very spacious. Owner was on hand when we arrived to answer any questions. Definitely would come back.

All the family enjoyed our stay at the Southport Coach House, we loved Southport for being a quiet base for us stay while we explored the west coast and it's fantastic Cities.

I was suitably impressed with the amazing restoration of the Coach House and the spiral staircase and addition of a pool table were perfect for the family. Our host was very curtious on the welcome tour and afterwards was very responsive to any further queries we had. We had a couple of BBQs in the lawned garden and the surrounding area is very quite for relaxing in the evening. Always a perfect question to ask yourself at the end of a holiday is would you return and the overwhelming answer for all the family is yes.

We found the Coach House to be great for our needs.

It is very unique and the description and photos give a true representation. The location was perfect with easy walking distance to train station and the town. There were plenty of eating and drinking establishments within easy walking distance. The owner was helpful and gave us a quick tour round the house on arrival. The owner struck a good balance between giving us our space but being approachable and available. We especially liked the off road parking having had our car damaged with road side parking at a different property.

This was booked as a last minute replacement when our booking (through different company, not Sykes) for another property in Southport was cancelled just over a week before we arrived.

We had looked at this property when planning our trip but originally rejected it due to the spiral staircase which we though might cause us problems, in the event we managed it OK, but it was a bit difficult for my partner to climb and descend. When we arrived we were met by the owner who showed us around and came out with some rather unexpected requests. We were asked to save electricity by (if possible) only using the dishwasher, washing machine and cooker (!) between 09:00 and 15:00 when the solar panels would be providing power. The freezer was turned off and we had to ask for it to be turned on. There were also notices left all over the property telling us to do (or not do) this and that, not very welcoming. We were asked not to lift the blinds of the rooms as they caught on the window catches (due to being fitted badly), but the whole place felt dusty and airless so we needed to lift them just to get some air into it, it would also have been nice to be able to look outside during daylight hours! We were told (and there was a notice!) not to try and adjust the heating as it was controlled from the owners property. I felt it humiliating to return to the property after an evening visiting friends in town to have to call him and ask if we could possibly have some heating as it was cold inside. The parking was exceedingly tight to enter and exit, fortunately my (average sized Honda) is equipped with parking sensors and a rear camera, otherwise we would probably have had to leave it on the street outside and carry our luggage a considerable distance to the property, which is located at the bottom of the owners garden. The main bedroom (downstairs) has a large window, but the glass is frosted so you couldn't actually see into the garden from it! There were also no opening windows to it, just some tiny vents. The upstairs bedroom was small and cramped. The place certainly has character, but it was a bit weird to be cooking and eating in what had been carefully preserved as the original stables. Fortunately, most days we were eating out with our friends, either on trips out during the day, or in the evening at their house. Overall, not a great second week to our holiday, particularly compared to the lovely house in North Wales that we had stayed in for the first week.

Very sensitively converted coach house but with all modern facilities, including a pool table much appreciated by the younger members of our party.

Also a very welcoming and friendly host.

We really enjoyed our stay in Southport at the Coach House!

The pool table, and access to Disney, Netflix & a wii games console kept our kids entertained throughout our stay. As a family we didnt have any issues with the spiral staircase to get upstairs, with the kids staying in the upper level bedroom while we stayed in the bedroom on the groond floor. The kitchen was well equipped, including a slow cooker which we used quite a few times while we were out and about. Parking was secure behind electric gates, albeit with a fairly tight reverse in. The location was handy for buses and a nearby Lidl. Its a pleasant 25 minute walk to Southport Centre, which we also did a few times when eating out. The gift of a bottle of wine and some easter eggs on arrival was also a nice treat. Overall its a really fantastic space, and if we ever visit Southport again we will be staying here!

Great location, only a short walk into town but far enough away not to be noisy.

Great house, love the pool table

Was not impressed with this coach house.

Very uncomfortable beds & sofas duvet’s & pillows need updating. Dogs nearby barking all night. Layout could be better difficulty getting drinks etc up the spiral stairs lounge would be better on ground floor

Fantastic conversion and very handy for enjoying Southport and Liverpool

Great place to stay, convenient to promenade etc.

Pool table a nice extra. Would definitely stay there again.

Had a great weekend stopping at the coach house, loved the pool table along with the other facilities the house provided.

Couldn't ask for a better location and would recommend this property to anyone looking for accommodation in and around the Southport area.

Quirky and comfortable.

Perfect for a short break to visit universities in Liverpool. Quick and easy train ride to the city with Southport station walking distance from The Coachhouse. Teenage children very happy with pool table and games console. Mum very happy with easy access to beautiful beach at Formby and their red squirrel reserve. Fab break - thank you :)

Everything was great apart from the following: the hot water was a little unpredictable when having a shower and the double bed was not particularly comfortable.

The Coach House is comfortable, self-contained, quiet and extremely well equipped (especially for those with a couple of kids who need reliable wifi!

). The location is a 10 minute walk into the town centre and there is lots to do in Southport itself and the surrounding area. This was our second stay at the Coach House, having stayed in 2020 during the COVID pandemic, we did not hesitate to return as we were confident that all appropriate precautions were in place. This truly is a great place to stay!

The space and qurkiness of he house plus the pool table The weather was good which helped

Our family had a fantastic holiday in Southport.

After Covid19 it was lovely to get away. The accommodation was spotless and kept up to my expectations during this pandemic. Alan was on hand if required and made us feel very welcome. The Coach House was a lovely place to stay and our family enjoyed the games room and 3 TV's including the Disney Channel. We will definitely go back again. Thank you.

Lovely home.

Very cosy and warm. Great communication throughout and would happily recommend to anyone.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Coach House.

We found the property was very well equipped and could see that a lot of work had gone into restoring it. It was in a great location only a few minutes drive away from the centre of town and we all enjoyed the pool table which was a very nice touch. Weather was fantastic and we certainly took full advantage of it. I would highly recommend to family and friends to stay at the Coach House and hope to see you in the future. Thanks to Allan who was always on hand to assist with anything and everything. Audrey, Billy, Ross and Nicola Morrison

Everything was fine

An interesting property, well equipped and providing good accessibility to interesting coastline and urban centres.

The coach house was excellent, plenty of room, very well appointed, warm and homely.

The owners were very welcoming and helpful. Its very likely that we will be back and I recommend it to anyone looking to visit the area

Beautiful place, well worth a stay if your coming to southport or local areas frequent train runs everywhere.

The coach house is well looked after and has all you need to have a nice break, thank you.

Fantastic property in a quiet location.

This house is quite unique and exceptionally well equipped.

Behind an electric gate so very safe and secure. Spacious. We loved it. We left the car there and walked everywhere. Already booked for next year.

Beautiful house,lovely gardens in quiet area.

Bit of a walk into Southport, but taxis are cheap and reliable, and the bus stop is only around the corner. If there's more than four of you, you can get a mini bus into town and it only costs £4 each way (that's with Yellow Top Taxis). Fantastic value for money, spotlessly clean with an added bonus of a pool table and Nintendo Wii, perfect! Would love to visit again sometime soon.

Excellent accommodation at a very good price.

Owner very organised and nothing too much trouble. Would book again

could do with a few kitchen cupboards to put food tins and packages in.

also possibly an armchair or comfy seat in the main bedroom downstairs. the rocking chair was great but need a little something comfyer. otherwise all good

We had an excellent stay at Southport Coach House and would highly recommend it.

It's location is very convenient for the main attractions in Southport. We loved the house and the history behind it. The spiral staircase is quite steep but we just took care and time when walking up and down. The pool table was fun and we had a family tournament, the kids loved this. We would definitely book this accommodation again on a visit to Southport.
