A relaxed base after a day on the water.
Sailing and watersports trips are easier when your group can stay together. Our accommodation gives you a base where you can return after a day on the water, dry your kit, cook together, relax and plan the next day's activities, with a washing machine and dryer for wet sailing clothing and space to store bags, waterproofs and outdoor equipment.
Inside our homes
Ideal for sailing clubs, regattas and watersports weekends.
Close to West Kirby Marine Lake
One of the best-known watersports locations on the Wirral, home to Wirral Watersports Centre for dinghy sailing, windsurfing, paddleboarding and kayaking, with West Kirby Sailing Club at the south end of the lake.
Built for wet kit
Washing machine and dryer for sailing clothing, space to store bags, waterproofs and outdoor equipment, and driveway parking for loaded cars.
Crews stay together
One private property with shared living space, a fully equipped kitchen and flexible sleeping arrangements, better value and more sociable than separate hotel rooms.
“Ideally located for coastal walks. Train 3 min walk, supermarket around the corner, and 5 mins in tunnel to Liverpool. Would definitely stay again.”
