“The Royal Clifton strikes me as a surprisingly generous find, with rooms that lean towards spaciousness and a remarkably well-appointed breakfast setting that genuinely impressed. Its seafront position is a clear draw, and I found the price point to be quite sensible given the scale of the public areas and the evident efforts towards refurbishment throughout. There's a feeling of solid value here, particularly for those seeking a comfortable base with a strong sense of place in Southport.”
