Welcome to The Bowden Lodge Guest House

For over a decade, Bowden Lodge has opened its doors to travellers seeking a personal, warm, and refined stay. We believe every guest deserves more than a room, they deserve a memorable experience.

Our Story

Together with our family, Andy and Jane Gibbs are proud to welcome you to Bowden Lodge. What began as a Victorian family home has grown into a guest house that balances tradition, character and the comforts travellers expect today.

We live and work here which means every detail, from the way your room is prepared to the breakfast you enjoy, is cared for by us personally. We do not see our visitors as customers. We see them as guests who are stepping into our home.

Why Guests Return

Over the years Bowden Lodge has built a reputation as one of Southport’s friendliest and most comfortable places to stay. Many of our guests return again and again, and some have become lifelong friends.

They tell us they value the genuine welcome, the clean and comfortable rooms, the homemade breakfasts made with fresh local produce, and the quiet yet central location only a short walk from Lord Street and the seafront.

For us, there is no greater compliment than a guest who chooses to return.

More Than a Guest House

Bowden Lodge offers more than a place to rest. Our private function room gives families and groups the chance to gather in a space of their own. It is well suited for small wedding receptions, family reunions, funeral wakes or meetings.

For larger occasions we can combine the function room with our guest bedrooms so your event and your stay all take place under one roof. This makes Bowden Lodge a unique choice in Southport.

Take a Virtual Tour of Bowden Lodge

Our virtual tour lets you explore the Victorian charm, modern comforts and peaceful surroundings that make staying with us special, so you can book with complete confidence knowing exactly what awaits you.

Loved room 11. Thank you for a lovely stay Jayne and Andy. Would just say a little back ground music at breakfast would be good.
