This is our second stay at Sunnyside. The hosts Anthony and Larissa could not be more accommodating. On both our stays they have gone above and beyond. I would highly recommend a stay with them. The rooms are beautiful and have everything you could need. Thankyou Anthony and Larissa for a great stay once again. We will stay every time here when we visit if you have availability

We stayed in this b&b again recently, we have been several times before and will certainly be back again. The hosts, Larissa and Anthony are fabulous, so welcoming. The rooms are immaculate and the new fridges are a great addition (especially in the heat). The breakfast is delicious and it really set's you up for the day. This is the best place in Southport to stay by a mile, we always feel safe and well looked after when we are here. Thanks again both, see you soon - from Eunice, Tina and Maureen.

Lovely, clean recently madeover hotel, with Roccoco, styled mirrors and furniture, with beautiful lamps and lights. The rooms were very clean and cosy, hospitality supplies were excellent, refreshments on arrival and departure. Fridge in the room, which is always appreciated. Breakfast second to none! The finest fresh produce is used and a huge selection of food to choose from. We found the location was very good and central to the nicer restaurants and bars.
The hosts are lovely. Extremely helpful, knowledgeable on the area and places to visit. They're also very interested in the places that you have been to and enjoyed and pass this information onto their future guests. Ten out of ten for this little gem.

Just booked 2 and a half hours before arrival. Greeted exceptionally well by Anthony (owner) asked if we wanted tea or coffee and a hand in with the cases. No mean feet as we were on the top level of the house up 4 flights of stairs, the last available room. As for accommodation and service. WOW! Squeaky clean room and en suite, comfy beds, large TV, boutique style decor with hand and shower gel/shampoo supplied.
Our fridge was filled with fresh bottles of complementary water, and at the end of our stay we were given more water for our onward journey. Very reasonable price 120 per family room inc breakfast and parking. Staff very helpful, went out of their way to assist. Breakfast was huge and lovely -jugs of milk, fresh orange juice, cereals, fry up or rolls, porridge, fresh fruit salad and yoghurt. Being picky my only comments would be lack of hairdryer (I had my own so no worries) and we visited at an exceptionally hot time (heatwave) so a room of ceiling fan would have been welcome, but we didn't ask. Found out later it is no1 on trip advisor for b&bs in Southport so it's reputation precedes it! Wouldnt hesitate to recommend.

Absolutely fantastic! The room was spacious and clean, the breakfast was really really really good, set us up for the full day ahead. We were offered coffee, water and ice cream on arrival, which were all greatly appreciated. Excellent hosts, they couldn't do enough for us. The B&B is so close to the beach and the town centre with shops, bars and restaurants all within walking distance. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to stay in Southport.
