Stayed in the family room that sleeps four, with ensuite (two adults, two children). We were welcomed by Jane and she explained all the hotel's amenities, how to get about Southport and issued us with a 10% discount card to use at named local pubs/restaurants. The room was clean, spacious and had everything we needed; waters, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, milk, little mini bar with a selection of alcoholic drinks to purchase. Comfy beds, clean room and cute bathroom. Breakfast was gorgeous, full cooked English, lovely coffee and tea. Ample selection of cereals, fruit, pastries, cakes. Car Park situated outside the hotel or you can park just over the road if it's full, no problems. Nothing was too much bother for Jane and she made us feel very welcomed. We loved staying at the Bowden Lodge and will definitely return. So much value for money. 100% recommend!
