As everyone has already said, great position, 15 mins walk to Southport, found a lovely inexpensive french restaurant 'Auberge'in town. If you walk in the opposite direction to town, just 15 mins walk will take you to Birkdale, lovely village with fresh fish shop, excellent wine shop with tastings, and 2 very good restaurants, we are going back to try them next week, and a beer emporium. on your walk to Birkdale there is a lovely Gasto pub 'fisherman's Rest' just 290 meters away from site. The closest rail station is at Birkdale 15 mins walk, and trains run every 15 mins, (30 mins Sundays) i do hope this helps your holiday run smoothly.
