우드랜즈 게스트하우스(Woodlands Guest House)

Lovely clean guest house , situated 10 min walk to the train station which takes you to Liverpool central , lots of restaurants and pubs up the road , would definitely recommend this guest house to friends and family .

Not ideal for me, it started when I arrived and found out breakfast was not available, had I known this I would have booked somewhere else, also the room I was in number 10, the heating did not work, so was really cold all weekend, the kettle took about 20 minutes to boil, the shower and hot water in the sink took ages to heat up. They could be doing with some outside lights in the car park, as the stairs are dark and dangerous without lighting. The Internet did not work in the rooms, and if you wanted anything you had to call a mobile number to get it.

I wasn't keen on the woodlice which may live under the shower, using the gap in the base of the shower. One hand gel is provided, so a guest must remember to switch it to and fro. The television remote's battery was replaced immediately on request. Spacious rooms with plenty of towels.

The shower had no power it was hard to have a shower took forever to come out hot.

Advertised as a b&b but no breakfast available. Good size room, no wardrobe or hangers, just coat hooks. No dressing table but there was a hairdryer. Tea making facilities. No toiletries in shower, just hand gel on washbasin. Had to telephone if we required anything.

The owner greeted us on arrival, friendly and welcoming. Nice place on a quiet street near a main road and amenities. It was very hot during our stay and although we slept with our windows open we could not hear the traffic. Our host volunteered a fan, which somewhat alleviated the heat, but staying in the top room under the roof, the room was very hot at night. I loved the décor - particularly the cubist paintings (?). The room was clean as was the house throughout. There was noise from a pump or something similar, coming from the room next to ours, but that seemed to be thoughtfully switched off at night (without needing to be requested). Very minor, it seemed near on impossible to get the shower head to retain its upright position. As for eco-friendly, I really don't know, as that wasn't something I was looking for and that is why I've only scored in middling. It's definitely value for money and a place I wouldn't hesitate to stay at again, nor hesitate to recommend it. The real downside was the nearest cafe for breakfast didn't open until 9 am. For early risers this could be a negative. Early risers wishing to do a good run, do have the beach amenities within reach of a good run and the lanes around the house are leafy green. There are a selection of good places to eat nearby. May I recommend a short walk nearby on South Road, particularly before and BEYOND the railway station.

Friendly welcome and lovely stay. Found bed and pillows very comfortable. Easy to reach on foot from the Waterloo station.

Peace area but close to restaurants and metro to City Centre

We visited family in the area and chose Woodlands Guest house based on previous reviews and we were not disappointed. The rooms were spacious and pleasantly decorated with good facilities to make our stay very comfortable. From there we visited Liverpool city centre by train after getting advice from Bernie who is the owner of the guest house and nothing was too much trouble. We also visited Southport by train so no need to use the car. So overall I would definitely recommend this guesthouse as a good base while visiting the northwest.
