Comfortable stay, hosts friendly - good breakfast
Great hosts, nothing was too much trouble. Fantastic location! We would definitely book again.
A warm and friendly welcome from Gary & Shirley. Very comfortable accommodation in a great location close to amenities. Lovely freshly made cooked breakfast offered as well as cereals, yoghurt and fresh fruit.
Nothing at all.
Hosts were really welcoming and friendly. The room was clean and good facilities. Breakfast was lovely with good choices. The location was spot on being a few minutes walk to promenade and shopping. Very enjoyable and would recommend.
Luckily we had the last parking space where we stayed for the 2 night break. Only 4 spaces at front of property. Nothing else a problem.
Location, room, breakfast and a super friendly and conscientious owners
Nothing to dislike
Very welcoming, spotlessly clean. Breakfast cooked to order it was delicious 😋 . Close to shops, restaurant and sea front.
Everything was spot on nothing to dislike
Spacious clean modern room with double and single bed. Very friendly welcoming hosts. Excellent fresh breakfast. Loved the homemade cake left for us. Perfect location. Will be returning.
Due to a storm we did get a leak in the roof onto the double bed whilst trying to sleep.
The owners, Shirley and Gary are so friendly and helpful. As I was on my own they arranged for me to have breakfast with another friendly woman, won't say her name, but you know who you are. Thank you to Gary and Shirley for making my stay wonderful. Oh, and the breakfast was very good too!
I liked it all.
Clean, nice room, great location and very friendly owners
Location and host's were fantastic
The mattress was a little too soft for our liking
We liked everything about the property. Very cosy and homely
Friendly and welcoming hosts who treated the b and b like an extension of their home. Obviously there were rules to follow but they weren't over bearing. Had a great choice of breakfasts all very nicely cooked. The location was within walking distance of all the main attractions and eateries in the town so very handy. Very close to the beach as well.
No negative points
Lovely hosts went above and beyond their duties! The room was spacious, comfortable and clean and breakfast was nice. The location is perfect, we found a shortcut to the pier area. We would definitely like to stay again.
Nothing to complain about at all.

Mycket trevligt ägarpar, mycket bra frukost
The staff were very welcoming and helpful. I was leaving before breakfast but they provided me with good alternatives as a takeaway breakfast. The room was very comfortable and I had a good night's sleep.
Great location, stayed here a couple of times now and its everything you need. The owners are very nice and can't do enough for you.
Breakfast good Location good
Everything ok
We couldn't have expected more, Gary and Shirley were fabulous hosts, nothing was too much trouble. They let us book in when we arrived, very welcoming and friendly. The room was quite large, lovely, comfy bed, all the things that you expect, even had a fan which was needed. Breakfast was brilliant, full English but also had plenty of choice. E
Gary told us the wrong score for the England game, he said 5-2 to us, lol. We loved everything.
Great location, Shirley and gary were amazing. Gary's breakfast was top notch xx
Gary and Shirley were very friendly and the clean and tidy, the breakfast was very nice
nothing, everything was excellent
Breakfast was excellent, basically anything you wanted Scrambled,fried,poached eggs - Black pudding - Mushrooms - FANTASTIC sausages... As i said everything. ROOM was lovely and comfortable, no view out of OUR window but that was not an issue. Hosts were lovely, nothing an issue. Clean, tidy, comfortable and most important value for money. We paid £80 a night for B/B. I even noticed the owner giving a couple a lift to the train station - above and beyond. SUPERB
??????? I simply cant fault anything. Oh yes, i would have liked my mushrooms crispy - my fault for not asking.
Everything was wonderful. Beautiful hosts - couldn't do enough for us, felt like old friends. fabulous breakfast, the sausages served are exceptional, perfect eggs and one of the most comfortable nights we've experienced on our travels. We will definitely be back.
Unfortunately, There is absolutely nothing negative we can say. 💯 A lovely place with lovely hosts.
My hosts Gary and Shirley were extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent. Had a lovely stay and will certainly return.
Shower could have been a little more powerful but it was ok
Gary and Shirley were lovely and very welcoming. Room was lovely, spotlessly clean and we had a really good sleep. Great location too. Good choice of breakfast too.. Definitely be returning.
There was nothing not to like.
Clean comfortable establishment. Friendly host and hostess. Location good for Main Street shopping and eateries. Quiet location with parking. Relaxed stay. Breakfast ample, well cooked and good quality sausages from local butcher very tasty.
Clean, comfortable, with little thoughtful touches. Hosts very welcoming and accommodating. Good location, being central and close to Lord St. Easy reach of buses, station, multiple cafes/restaurants/shops/Marine Parade. Very good value, with good free WiFi and nice breakfast.
Nothing significant.
Everything was great; Shirley & Gary are lovely, friendly and helpful people who make you feel very welcome Room clean and comfortable; good choice for breakfast and Shirley bakes great cakes!

Nothing it’s a beautiful hotel
Location was fabulous, owners were great and beds were comfy.
The milk was off in the room I presume with the recent heat when poured into the brew it was lumpy.
Exceptional owners, nothing was too much trouble. Excellent breakfast with good quality ingredients. Very clean and close to all amenities. Very good value for money.

Nice and clean , lovely decorated, lovely couple, perfect. ! Will definitely be returning , breakfast plentiful and very nice .
Nice big old property. The owners are working hard to refurbish the property. Lovely new carpet in the bedroom. Clean bedding and nice and warm. Gary cooked us a yummy breakfast. Shirley is very friendly and welcoming. Shirley was waiting for us when we got there to help with parking and a greet us. We sat outside in the afternoon as it was really sunny. You are close to the restaurants and bars on Lord Street. Nice where this is situated as off busy Lord Street. Shirley was very informative about different places you can visit in the town. I would recommend staying here with Shirley and Gary to support their business. Both lovely people.
Nothing we didn’t like.
The property is clean, well maintained and in a great location with parking
Nothing
Lovelyxx friendly couple
The room was spacious, lovely food, friendly staff.
The only thing I would have preferred would have been for a bedside table next to my bed, to make it easier to put my cup of tea at hand, but otherwise, everything was great, and I bought some of Shirley's lovely,handmade keyrings
There nothing NOT to like lovley hosts nice & friendly we'll bring gary a leeds utd cup next time 😉
Gary and Shirley are the perfect hosts, very welcoming. Our room was spotless and the beds were really comfortable. There was no noise from inside or outside the building so had a brilliant night's sleep. Our breakfast was delicious with perfect poached eggs 😉. We also got free parking which was a bonus. We will definitely be staying again and again.

Excellent B&B with great hosts, our room was spotless and had everything we could possibly need. Free WiFi and the property is in a fantastic location. The bed was very comfortable and I had a brilliant nights sleep. I had a Full English breakfast and it was one of the best I’ve had absolutely delicious. A massive 10/10 to Gary and Sheila for making our stay fantastic. We will definitely be back.
Host were really welcoming and friendly breakfast was lovely the breakfast sausage was quality thankyou for a great stay
Nothing
Everything. Shirley was poorly and Gary was brilliant. I would give our stay 20/10. Shirley still did bits, she is a great host and didn't want to let the guests down. Never in a million years would that happen. Gary was chief Chef and bottle washer, and waiter too. Nothing was too much for him. The breakfast was amazing as usual and Gary went out of his way to make sure everything was perfect and the guests were happy. Gary is very knowledgeable about the area, even the weather, he knew if we were going to have a good day or it was going to rain. Lol. Our room was spotlessly clean, comfortable, well equipped. The bed was extremely comfortable. Would we stop again? Try and stop us! We love Le Maitre, this is our go to hotel in Southport, if it isn't available,we don't go to Southport.
Absolutely nothing
The big bed was so comfy
