This is a lovely cottage with a gorgeous garden, we were lucky with the weather and the lower patio and seating is an absolute sun trap. The cottage is extremely well equipped, everything you could possibly need is there in quantity. The only downside of the property is the darkness of the main bedroom and bathroom, but as this is a 400 year old property it is to be expected. Silecroft is a very quiet village with a very friendly pub that is open Wednesdays to Sundays, wet trade only, no food. A walk to the beach is very pleasant and the Sunset Cafe is highly recommended for food, large portions of excellent quality. It is very popular and booking is recommended for the Sunday lunches. Millom and Ulverston are accessible by train from the station in Silecroft.

What a fantastic stay, the cottage is superbly equipped and spotlessly clean, a lovely garden too should you have the chance to sit outside using the furniture and cushions provided, a short walk to the Miners Arms serving real ales and to the beach which is outstanding. A short drive to Millom and a variety of pubs and restaurants (we can recommend the Italian)A great base and we so enjoyed our stay, we didn’t want to leave. No negatives at all.
