Peace and Quiet 4/5 - There is some noise from the road adjacent to the "new" part at the southern end of the site. This part is rather open as no trees or screens seemed to have been incorporated into the design. It will also be windy as there's not much between it and the sea. The North end of the site can sometimes attract a bit of noise from motor vehicles. On the whole though it was very peaceful for us. Facs & Cleanliness 4/5 - Full marks on cleanliness. Very hard working wardens who kept the place up to snuff. Face only reduced slightly as we found the CC website poor, but were able to use our own Mifi without problems. Don't know about tv reception as we don't bother with one. Nice to see the new showers have been built with a bit more room in them and with a fixed bench. No more wet shower curtain stuck your bum! Only gripe is with a near 2 hour closure for cleaning, although they do alternate the 2 blocks, one in the morning and t'other in afternoon so there will always be one open. Good for families 4/5 - No play area on site! At all! However all is not lost as the council run Victoria Park is adjacent to the site and accessed via 2 walkways from the site into it. There is a children's play area which can be viewed from some pitches, plus there is bags of room for dog walking and football playing etc. Location is perfect for those wanting to walk into Southport, being a mere 10 minutes across the park or along Rotten Row, accessed through one of the walkways to the park. There's the usual leisure facilities associated with a seaside town plus plenty of good eating places and Morrisons supermarket is a mere 5 minutes away on the edge of the park. The RSPB have a reserve 3 miles along the coast towards Preston and Martinmere Wildfowl Trust is 15 minutes in the car. Plenty of historic places to see and if you need a city hit then catch the train from the centre of Southport to Liverpool for the day. Golfers will be in paradise as will walkers with miles and miles of sandy beaches and dunes to explore. Southport did show signs of decline a few years ago but this visit showed that it is trying very hard to stop this decline and in some instances is doing so. All in all, an enjoyable stay, with friendly wardens as well.
