SCARISBRICK HOTEL
The tree-lined boulevard of Lord Street is home to the Scarisbrick Hotel, a superb quality, central base for a Southport golf tour. Excellent accommodation and service is guaranteed at the Scarisbrick, which is on the doorstep of the town's attractions, a mere 12 miles from motorway links, and more importantly, surrounded by Southport's seemingly endless list of outstanding golf courses.
The 90 en-suite guest rooms have all been refurbished recently, and are now decorated traditionally, boasting all the modern conveniences required for a comfortable stay, including wireless internet, satellite television, trouser press and hair dryer. For a special occasion, the deluxe rooms feature four-poster beds and jacuzzi bathrooms. The hotel is also well-regarded for its dining, particularly in the Cloisters Dining Room.
The charm of a private hotel like the Scarisbrick is the personal, attentive service that every single visitor will receive, which will only add to the experience of Southport's rich golfing portfolio.
