2026 British Open Golf Accommodation | Windy Gap Holiday Cottage

Welcome to Windy Gap: your perfect retreat for the 2026 British Open Golf

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 an amazing week we have enjoyed at Windy Gap. The house was beautifully clean and welcoming as always, and we like the new addition of duvets. We have been blessed with glorious weather, so spent many a day on the dunes. We biked to the beach twice, drove onto Ainsdale beach twice, spent a day in Southport and a day in Liverpool.

Our family cannot thank the hospitality of the Woodmans once again, who have made our stay extra special.

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.
