Liverpool RSPB Marshside Hotels

"Great place to stay - bar shut very early though so didn’t get to see it"

"Travelled with my daughter, room was clean and very comfortable. Parking is available just across the road which is payable during the day but is suspended of an evening. Breakfast was delicious"

"Most things were not open on the Sunday only offered breakfast for one day. The room was basic but clean. The bar only took card and wasn’t much choice."

"I stay in hotels a lot and all I ask is a comfy bed, cleanliness and hot water. Balmoral Lodge failed in two of the three! In the family room, the day bed type single bed was surprisingly comfy, but I had to upend and shake the mattress as the bottom sheet was covered in a very fine black powder, like pepper dust. There were cobwebs all over the coving, dirty corners and two of the drawers were broken. The bathroom had the worst attempt at silicon sealant that I have ever seen. Most unforgivable however, was the fact that in our two night stay, the water never got hotter than lukewarm. A bath was impossible and a shower was a gritted teeth experience. The public areas were also very tired, with artexed WALLS and wrinkled lino. Having said that, even a place in need of refreshing can and should be clean and in good repair! It was all such a shame as the bones of the building are beautiful and it could be magnificent! However, it felt like the owners had given up on it entirely"

"Stayed at the bold hotel many times in the past After this stay it does need some work and renovation. The old place is looking tired and old. Stain on the ceiling in our room carpeting one furniture, outdated, and exterior needs repair and painting."

"Lovely clean room, excellent customer service and huge thank you to Zoe and Trinity for being so helpful and welcoming.Breakfast lovely and excellent service from Steve the Waiter. "

"Jane and Andy were so helpful nothing was too much trouble, lovely couple, room was spotless, and had a great breakfast. I shall certainly be back if down again, and would not hesitate to recommend Bowden Lodge to my friends."

"Clean room couldn't open window not a problem for 1 night didn't have breakfast"

"Really nice greeting when we arrived, communication was great, as we were arriving later on in the evening. Room was clean and very quiet, so got a good nights sleep. Breakfast was continental and covered all the bases."
