Mr Townsend
Simply delightful. Great setting, great views, charming ducks & chickens, dogs & horse. Still laughing at the call ducks barrelling about! & fabulous walks up the local fell, or Black Combe, or our favourite Silecroft Beach & all just minutes away - with the great new Silecroft Beach Cafe an extra bonus. Owner Louise so friendly & helpful, accommodation so comfortable - we’ll be back!

We could not praise this accommodation, the location and Louise (the owner) enough. Our stay was just perfect and we look so forward to visiting again.
