"7 Spring Close is a very comfortable, well-equipped, home from home holiday accommodation."
We had a lovely week visiting family and recommend Birkdale as it has lots of independent shops, cafes and restaurants. We also enjoyed eating at Remedy in Churchtown, the cakes at Tastebuds by the Wharf in Rufford and, for a good value roast, the Toby Carvery in Formby. Most nights we cooked our own meals and the kitchen is really well equipped to do that. A lovely stay. Thank you.

"We had a relaxing week at Spring Close."
The house was clean and comfortable. The location was ideal for access to Southport and Birkdale Village with some lovely independent food shops. Our dog loved the enclosed back garden and the treats that were included in the very nice welcome pack. Many thanks to the owner John for local information.
Thank you for your feedback and I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. I hope to see you again. Property Owner

"We've returned from a very enjoyable stay at Spring Close."
The bedrooms are spacious and the accommodation very comfortable. The accommodation is just a short walk from the centre of Southport. We brought our dog with us. The garden was a perfect size for him and he loved his daily walks into Southport, to Victoria Park and a short walk on the beach. Thank you to John and his family for advice on where to go and for making us feel so welcome. We'd love to return another time.
Thank you for your feedback and I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. I hope to see you again. Property Owner

"Thank you John we had a lovely week the house was wonderful and very clean."
The weather was too hot but can't complain
-
"A very comfortable, home from home stay in John's house."
The house had everything we needed and the welcome pack was gratefully received! Great location close enough to town but far enough away from noise and distractions. Birkdakle village is lovely! A much needed, relaxing break for our family.

"Our Host John, made us feel very at home, nothing was too much trouble for him."
We arrived early, were allowed to leave the car on the drive and John gave us directions to a very nice cafe. (John was very good at giving accurate directions to wherever we wanted to go) We arrived to find a very nice little basket of food and a carton of milk. I think that was very thoughtful of him. When our daughter and Grandchildren arrived she had a problem with her car, a front mudflap had come adrift and was scraping on the ground. John said oh you can't drive with that, I'll fix it. He fixed it with a bit of wire, but later came back to say I've been thinking about it and I'll. Tape it up with Gaffa tape that will get you home. He was such a nice chap, we've never had any stay with anyone so caring. I was quite touched. It gave me hope for humanity once more.

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property and highly recommend it."
In a quiet cul de sac, but close enough to all amenities. House is spotless clean, lovely garden which has the sun all day, beds are really comfortable , shower is very good. Kitchen has everything you could think of and more, good size living room and area with a table to eat as a family. John the owner is very informative about the area and things to do and was very helpful ensuring we had everything we needed. Very clean comfortable house in a lovely area, would definitely return.

"Second time we have stayed at Spring Close."
We were so pleased with our first visit, that when we had needed to return to Southport, we didn't hesitate to book again. It's in an ideal location to get around Southport giving easy access to Southport town centre (and trains towards Manchester) and the village of Birkdale (and trains towards Liverpool). It a lovely warm comfortable house and well equipped. We wouldn't think twice about booking again. John is a very welcoming, informative and helpful host.
-
"A warm and comfortable home, which was welcome given that the weather had turned cold!"
Excellent location and quiet, despite being very close to the railway line. John, the host was very welcoming and informative. It really felt like we were in a home and not holiday accommodation. Convenient for both Southport town centre and especially Birkdale Village, where you can find the excellent Birkdale Cheese Co amongst other shops, restaurants, cafes and bars. Also a station there with good connections to Liverpool.
-
"It was on very short notice and on New Years Eve that I booked Spring Close."
John the host could not of been more welcoming, he was extremely helpful throughout my stay. Extremely clean and fantastic facilities, the bed was so comfortable with a great mattress, that in itself is worth staying for. This really is a hidden gem in Southport, a real home from home, I would recommend to anyone looking for that ‘little xtra’ to stay here. Everything is catered for to make sure you have a fantastic stay, thank you John, for being such a marvellous host.
-
"Comfortable, warm detached house with a well equipped kitchen and spacious lounge/dining area."
Bedrooms were a good size with adequate storage and they had pleasant views from the windows. We all had a good nights sleep in the cosy beds. The owner, John was very helpful and had put salt on the driveway before our arrival as it was extremely frosty. There was a short walk to the attractive village centre with lots of amenities.
-
"Lovely property and great value."
Good welcome package waiting on us. The owner, John, could not have been more helpful. Lots of good local advice about getting around, where to eat etc. Would definitely recommend Spring Close and Southport is a lovely place to visit. Hopefully be back.
-
"We had a wonderful holiday at Spring Close."
Thank you John for your welcome pack. This was very gratefully received. The property was ideally located for access to Birkdale village, Southport and Formby. We had lovely days out visiting a couple of National Trust properties, Blackpool, the iron men at Crosby, as well as Hesketh Park and the botanical gardens. My ten year old grandson spent his 10th birthday at the Southport pleasure beach and had a glorious day. The weather was kind enough to allow us to have several beach days at Ainsdale, but mostly at Formby.
-
"This is one of the best places we have stayed in."
We were very comfortable, it really was a home from home. We would highly recommend this property and will book again if we holiday in Southport in the future.
-
"Big thanks to John for being such an enthusiastic, welcoming and helpful host."
The property was exactly what we needed - a comfy place close to local amenities and actives for the kids. Birkdale village is really nice and only a short walk away, whilst lovely spots like Formby beach are a short drive away. The place also benefits from being close to the train station - a mere few minutes from Birkdale to Southport on the train for instance. Would definitely recommend and would go again.

"Lovely house and garden, so peaceful bearing in mind that it is so close to the railway line but we didn't find it disruptive as trains are electric, relatively quiet and went past quickly."
Downstairs loo was an added bonus for us oldies with creaky joints, no stairs to climb every time the loo was needed. Double bed was so comfy, we slept really well and the walk-in shower was another bonus for us not having to climb in and out of a bath. Kitchen had all the equipment you could need for dining at home. The only downside for us were the sofas, too low for creaky jointed people but sitting on a bundle of cushions soon sorted that problem out. Would recommend a walk into the Village down the pathway by the side of the railway, lovely cafes and restaurants within walking distance and if you fancy visiting a 'real' pub (still has a taproom) then you can't do much better that The Upsteps, the patron and clients were so friendly when we visited to watch a Liverpool game on Sky Sports. We had a really comfortable, peaceful and fab stay at Spring Close. Thank you to all concerned. Cathy & Kevin May 2022

"We had a lovely week."
The property was ideally placed for access to the sea and liverpool city via excellent train links. Also discovered the little gem of Birkdale village. The owners were very welcoming and attentive but respectful of our privacy. Excellent enclosed 'suntrap' garden and every comfort catered for. Thank You.

"Nice clean property 2min to shop and pub 10 min walk into Birkdale village 1/2 ..."
Nice clean property 2min to shop and pub 10 min walk into Birkdale village 1/2 hour into Southport a couple of minor points which we spoke to Karen about and she will resolve, a nice stay though

Karen does a great job keeping the house nice and clean.

"A great property well cared for."
Shops and pubs in short walking distance along with a train station make it easy to roam the Lancashire coastline. Well equipped and very comfortable, we will be booking again in the future!
-
"This is a lovely property and we thoroughly enjoyed our few nights there."
On arrival there was a generous welcome pack, which even included some chews for our dog. The house was very comfortable and clean. We visited in November and it was also warm and cosy. So thank you to our hosts. We will definitely revisit again in the future.
-
"Great holiday, despite rain!"
Lovely home from home in quiet cul de sac. Clean, well presented home with everything you need for comfortable stay. Well situated for train travel and main shopping. Welcome gifts very much appreciated. Would definitely recommend.
-
"A nice house in a nice area, very clean and well equipped, a very generous welcome hamper from the owner which was much appreciated."
The only two little niggles we did have, was the fact that we would have liked the bathroom door to have a lock on it and although the wardrobe in the main bedroom was large and more than adequate, it would have been nice , to have a small wardrobe in the double room as well, just to save having to disturb others at times when needing clothes.
Thank you for your feedback and I am glad you enjoyed your stay at Spring Close. Following your feedback we will be installing a lock on the bathroom door. Thank you again for providing your comments and we hope to see you again in the future. Property Owner

"A home away from home."
This was one of the best properties we’ve experienced with Sykes. It had everything we needed and was so close to all the attractions and activities. Having a designated parking space with no permit needed was a huge bonus and the owners welcomed us with fresh flowers and essentials, which made our late night arrival a really pleasant experience. The beds were really comfortable too which was a huge plus! Would highly recommend and would definitely stay here again.

About the location
SOUTHPORT
Ainsdale 4 miles; Ormskirk 8 miles; Formby 8.5 miles.
Southport, along with its neighbour Ainsdale, lies on the coastline where the Irish Sea meets North West England. The town was founded in 1792 when an innkeeper, William Sutton, built a bathing house at what is now the south end of Lord Street, the main road running through the town. The town was small and not very widely populated until the turn of 19th century, when it became popular with tourists due to the easy access it provided to Leeds and Liverpool Canal. It quickly expanded and now boasts the second longest pleasure pier in the British Isles, the Southport Pier Tramway and Lord Street, an elegant, tree-lined shopping destination. From Birkdale to Woodvale, sand dunes stretch along the coastline and in Ainsdale in particular, the dunes have now been listed as a National Nature Reserve and a designated Ramsar site. The coastline stretches for 22 miles, with plenty of beaches to be discovered, making this classic seaside resort the perfect place to relax and unwind. There are scenic parks and gardens to explore, fabulous shopping opportunities, an exciting nightlife, as well as a mouth-watering array of restaurants and traditional seaside amusements. Stroll down the UK’s oldest iron pier and try the old penny slot machines in the Pavilion, or ride traditional carousels at Silcock’s Funland. Family attractions include Splash World, Martin Mere and Farmer Ted’s, while The Atkinson, an £18 million arts venue, is set in a Grade II listed building hosting a variety of visual and performing arts events. Southport’s extensive events programme includes the World Musical Fireworks Championships, the Southport Food and Drink Festival, Southport Air Show, Southport Flower Show and the Southport Jazz Festival. It is part of England’s Golf Coast and is home to seven championship courses, including Royal Birkdale, which hosted The Open Championship in 2008. In a great spot for a beach break, there really is something for everyone!
