Rooms very clean, had to dust the bed frame down though looks like it had been forgotten. Tired rooms which had been decorated to cover the age, would have been better if they'd had a full refurb. Breakfast was fab, freshly cooked, piping hot and good quality ingredients.

Stayed here a few weeks back, good location, and I have to say the service here is first class, and nothing is too much trouble. John ( i think he is the owner) recommended lots of things to do in and around the town which was really useful, booked us into restaurants which were excellent and to be honest came... More

Myself and my husband stayed at the Dukes Folly hotel just for one night, although we were only in one of the smaller rooms we fully enjoyed our stay, all the staff were very helpful and made us feel very welcome. The breakfast was excellent. Although the hotel is in need of a makeover in some areas don't let this... More

Stayed with my son for 1 night, to see The Grand National at Aintree. Had 2 breakfasts and they were as good as any i've had, the reception was nice and clean and the room was ok. The online cost was slightly less than the hotel price. The main train station was about 10-12 minutes walk away.

I have stayed at the Dukes several times before and always very happy with basically everything, from the owner, the staff, the rooms and the breakfast. It has now been taken over by a new owner and as far as i can tell has not got a clue how to run things, the only saving grace was that the previous... More

We run a pub and stay in hotels for one night a week as often as we can to chill out. Arrived in Southport and visited a few hotels to checkout rooms before the Dukes Folly. We were shown a choice of rooms and they were far superior in quality and clenliness that what we had seen so decided to... More

Always made to feel welcome. Superb breakfast to set you up for the day. Great choice of drinks at the bar at very reasonable prices. John, Jim and the team really can't do enough for you and it makes you want to return year after year. The themed rooms are fun and are always clean.

As a couple we stayed for 2 nights and was glad we hadn't booked for longer. Although the location of this hotel is very good for shops, restaurants, showground, promenade etc. the hotel itself leaves a lot to be desired. Our room was a poor standard with rotting window frames. The bathroom was very small with shower curtain over the... More

We just had a brilliant weekend at the Dukes Folly. The breakfast was amazing. Thanks to John & Peter who made the weekend, we met a lovely couple of which we are staying in touch with. There was a Honda gold wing rally which was nice, they had a parade on the promenade and Lord street and a spectacular light... More

Lovely breakfast. Friendly staff... Our room was average. Such a shame. It was for our anniversary and although it was VERY clean it was just a little tired and boring. I can't comment on the other rooms though, we didnt get a theme room or anything so I presume they are much nicer. There was no coffee or milk on... More
