Plenty of space. Very comfortable beds and spacious bedrooms. Great dining space and lounge area. Kitchen well stocked and a lovely welcome pack of some local treats. Broughton village has 3 pubs, we ate in the Kings Head-good traditional food. Silecroft pebble beach was great for the dogs and the cafe served an excellent lunch as did The Cafe on the Square at Broughton. For an excellent evening meal try the Blacksmiths Arms at Broughton Mills, compliments to the chef. We didnât need to contact the owners but we met them when they called in to cut the grass and were very friendly and chatty. Thankyou Ann and Paul

A great base for discovering the Lake District and the lovely sandy beach at Silecroft. My x2 pooches were very happy there too!
