Rob Hunter left this review about The Guest House

Visited on a weekday lunchtime in July. 11 hand pulls at the bar with just 2 or 3 not on, but plenty to choose from with a couple of chalk boards to post the offerings. This is an old traditional multi room pub, dogs are welcome except in the front room, great value food is served and the pub allows over 18s only. There is banquette seating, wood panelling, and low tables and chairs - it just felt like a proper pub. No music is played and there is a small beer garden to the rear that looked like it could be a bit of a sun trap. In the front room I observed a lovely old fireplace and old light fittings. Everything seemed so old but clean, tidy and well looked after.

As mentioned the food menu offers great value, and I was tempted by their home made pies - with a choice of beef steak, chicken and mushroom, or lamb and rosemary. A bargain at £4.95 with peas and carrots, but also available with bread and butter and beetroot or red cabbage, or chips, peas and carrots for a little extra.

I found this place to be an absolute gem, traditional and well presented, friendly and great value, hence the generous score.

I love pubs like this, I must have reduced the average age considerably when i walked in. the oldies of Southport love this place because it's everything a pub should aspire to in its multi roomed, traditional splendour. my beer was off but i'll forgive them, I'm sure it's usually fine as everyone else was drinking the stuff. will spend a bit longer here next time i'm in southport.

A very attractive pub from the outside which is complemented by a fine interior. 3 separate rooms all with wood panelling. It was pretty quiet during our Tuesday evening visit, but still had a pleasant atmosphere. 10 beers available on the bar, although not the most inventive of selections, with Greene King and Adnams featuring. My pint was in excellent nick though and we enjoyed our visit here.
