Welcome to Windy Gap: your perfect 2026 British Open Golf Accommodation

Nestled in the heart of the Ainsdale Nature Reserve, Windy Gap offers a rare blend of tranquility and convenience, just 5 miles from Royal Birkdale Golf Club – the prestigious host of the 2026 British Open Golf.

Our spacious wooden bungalow is the ideal base for golf enthusiasts and families alike, providing a peaceful escape surrounded by 6 acres of private woodland, while keeping you within easy reach of the tournament’s excitement.

What a magical holiday destination! My wife and I with my children have been coming for the last 43yrs for a holiday. Even though my children have grown up, Pat and I still love to visit Windy Gap every year. Peace and tranquillity is always assured along with a warm welcome from Margaret and Paul.

Windy Gap is like something out of a fairytale - it makes me think of a Russian dacha in the woods or a Hansel and Gretel cottage in the Black Forest. We first heard about it from friends who told us it was something really special and they were right.
