We went for our anniversary and it was beautiful

We had a fantastic short stay at Sunnyside Cottage. It was clean, comfortable, in a great location and has everything you need. We brought our little dog and it was perfect for him, there is an enclosed yard and the cottage is very dog-friendly, there was no doggy smell and the housekeeper does a great job as you would never know dogs have been there!This is now our go-to place when we come up to visit family.

Lovely cottage just perfect for my husband and I and our Welsh Terrier, Ifor. Very clean with everything you need for a week away. My only suggestion would be to add a washing machine. It does have a dishwasher and is otherwise very well equipped. Good sized living area with sofa and tv. I’m in my 60’s and the sofa is quite low so I found it hard to get up, but very comfortable whilst sitting. The bedroom has a good sized bed with wardrobe and chest of drawers if a little tight on either side to get into. There is a very spacious and modern wet room conversion off the living room. I love that it is all on the one level. At the back of the kitchen, there is an outdoor seating area with table, chairs and a safe enclosed space for the dog to enjoy. This is our 2nd visit and we hope to go again after the proposed renovations to open up more of the lovely original beams which will make Sunnyside Cottage even more authentic. It is located on Bibby Road rather than Chase Heys which is around the corner. Strongly recommend. Great value for money and the lady who owns it is very pleasant and helpful. Her son is also on hand to fix any problems or supply anything necessary. Next door is a slightly larger property suitable for more than two plus a dog. A great find for us. A walk along Lord Street is a must with a visit to the Atkinson. We also enjoyed afternoon tea at the Westminster Tea Rooms. Lots of cafes, bars and restaurants and some very quirky antique shops alongside rails of brightly coloured scarves and Italian Ice Cream vendors. There is also another shopping precinct parallel to Lord Street. I found the locals friendly and the shopping excellent value for money. For meals out on a budget, Wetherspoons is hard to beat but the kitchen is so well equipped we did a lot of home cooking and bought our groceries in the local Co Op. Other places to visit by car would be Liverpool and Chester and, if you are feeling more adventurous, a day trip to Manchester is also possible. We attended Eucharist and Choral Evensong at Holy Trinity where we were invited to tea after and a visit to the Little Theatre with members of the choir. My husband is an organist and myself a classical singer so this was perfect for us. Parking on the road at the front of the property was no problem as it is located in a very quiet residential part of Southport.

Our stay was wonderful in this delightful little cottage in Churchtown, Southport. It is close to all the amenities of the village, cozy and very clean. John was most helpful and pleasant and provided us with lots of information about the cottage and the area. We would highly recommend a stay here.
