There's a warm welcome for all at 'Boots and Boards' in Silecroft - you don't have to be a rider, a climber or a kite-surfer!

With beautiful scenery on your doorstep, Cross House, in the little village of Silecroft, makes a great base for whatever you want to do on your holiday.

Cross House was built at the turn of the century and was a working farmhouse until the 1980s. It retains many of its original features including the magnificent open fireplace in the guest sitting room. The house has been sensitively adapted for bed and breakfast using environmentally friendly materials wherever possible.

Breakfast can be as big or small as you choose: local Cumberland sausage and all the trimmings, a vegetarian option, or just toast and Fair Trade marmalade.

'Boots and Boards' is in Silecroft, a small village just off the A595, a few miles north of the small town of Millom on the quiet west coast of Cumbria. The village lies in the Lake District National Park within easy walking distance of the fells to the east and the sea to the west. It has a railway station with a regular service from the main network via Lancaster or Carlisle.

There is a thriving village pub serving excellent meals, a golf course, a riding stable, and easy access to a beautiful beach stretching as far as the eye can see.

The Cumbria Coastal Way runs along the beach, which is also used by anglers, kite-surfers, canoeists, riders and dog walkers. The beach is great for children and safe for swimming, and there’s plenty of room for everyone.

It is possible to go fell walking or mountain biking straight from the house, and popular walking and climbing areas in Eskdale, Wasdale, the Duddon Valley, Langdale and Windermere are within a drive of 45 minutes or less.

Accommodation is practical and comfortable. All rooms have en-suite shower rooms, and, (for a good soak) share access to a beautiful roll-top bath. There are two twin rooms, a double room and a family room, which has a double bed and bunk beds. All the bedrooms have TV and a self-service tea and coffee tray.

Guests also have their own breakfast room and sitting room, with a log fire in the winter.

Muddy boots, wet clothes and sports equipment are no problem – we have drying facilities and safe storage available.
