Guests say
Guests consistently praise the spacious and well-equipped Sandfield The Promenade, highlighting its suitability for large family gatherings and its proximity to the beach and local amenities. The property's cleanliness and the host's responsiveness are commended, while the thoughtful welcome packs add a personal touch. Some minor maintenance issues are noted, but overall experiences are very positive.
The property generally receives high marks for cleanliness, with several reviews mentioning it being 'spotlessly clean'. However, one review suggested that additional cleaning time could enhance presentation, slightly lowering the score.
The location is highly praised for being close to the beach, parks, shops, and restaurants, with many guests appreciating the convenience of nearby attractions and amenities.
Guests find the property comfortable, with ample seating and well-sized bedrooms. The presence of a cosy living room and well-equipped kitchen contributes to the high comfort level, though the lack of cushions due to hygiene reasons is a minor drawback.
The property is well-equipped with kitchen gadgets, comfortable seating, and utility room facilities. Some reviews, however, mention minor maintenance issues like a slippy shower tray, a non-working TV, and bathroom fixtures needing attention, which affects the score.
While guests appreciate the welcome packs and find them lovely, there is not enough information to determine if such gestures are consistent across all stays. Therefore, while the thoughtfulness is acknowledged, it cannot be guaranteed for future guests.

Just across the road is King’s Gardens, a 17-acre garden which has an adventure playground, tea rooms and lake. It hosts various events throughout the year including an outdoor cinema. Other popular annual events held in Southport include the RHS Flower Show, fireworks championships and Southport Air Show. Southport is also famous for its world-class golf courses, including the Royal Birkdale Golf Club.

We had a family of eight (three generations) holiday in late October in the fabulous Sandfield residence. Communication with the home owner before arrival and after departure was both friendly and professional. The house itself was very spacious and spotlessly clean catering to our every need. We were surprised and absolutely thrilled to find waiting for us on arrival, a welcome pack of quality goods - bread, butter, tea, coffee and a delicious cake. We had taken basics eg washing up liquid, kitchen towels, tinfoil, dishwasher/laundry tablets and spare toilet rolls but they were all included. We would certainly recommend Sandfield for an holiday home and will definitely return if we find ourselves in that neck of the woods again.
