This place s in an excellent location, on the seafront and close to everything. The room was spotless. However, there was no shower gel, shampoo or a hairdryer provided, meaning we had to buy some. Breakfast was lovely, but is served at 8.30am only, so we only ate once.

A great stay

We could'nt fault Sefton Lodge. We were met at the door by owner Steve, he was so friendly and helpful. We had a room with a sea view and balcony. It was so nice after a day sightseeing to sit on the balcony and watch the world go by. The breakfast was fabulous and set us up for the day. We will definitely be returning.
