I stayed at the Sefton Hotel last October, 2012. I think my terrible review, at that time, wasn't posted by Trip Advisor (to my surprise) perhaps because I didn't give a 'rating' (I didn't think it even warranted a "terrible", so didn't click on it at all) - here I'm trying again ... . During my first (and only) night... More

My family and I stayed at the Sefton hotel for four nights on the 29 March, and I must say what a great time we had. The Hotel was spotlessly clean, and we had an excellent service from all members of staff. Disabled faculties are second to none. We stayed down when the temperature was two degrees, yet the chill...

Stayed for 4 days, a great 4 days overall, could not fault food, rooms. The major down point for our group was the Manager, rude and arrogant, if you don't want to do the job then you know where the door is!!! I'm sure we are not the only ones to spot this??
