Sunny Evening in Silloth

Kate April 24, 2024Silloth Holidays

We popped over from Cockermouth to Silloth. Such a beautiful evening tonight taking in the views that are right on the doorstep of 1 & 2 The Old Court House. We’ve been getting ready for our guests who arrive shortly – just making sure everything is perfect for them! The park is across the road and the beach is within …

Fabulous stay

Had a fabulous stay at number 2. The house is amazing with everything and more that we needed. Location is perfect for the town and the beach for our little terrier Nellie. Stayed in a lot of cottages / accommodations but this is the best by far. We will definitely return.

A revelation!

A revelation in that everything in the house was done for people and not minimum spend on some rentals we have been in. All the linen was of a good quality and fresh. The kitchen was very well stocked and wonder of wonders, sharp knives. Keep these away from little hands. Oven was spot on and worked perfectly. Two bathrooms, showers and a large bath. A full size dining room and not a table shoehorned into the kitchen. Relaxing and comfortable. Cobbled road outside, may need to take your hearing aids out.

We enjoyed talking to the local people, who responded with greetings and we chatted with a few older residents regarding the history of Silloth. Bonus was the weekend we were there was the Firebird Festival, The Skatones were excellent, even though it did sprinkle from the heavens a little.

A proper bakery, flour from the Mill on the waterfront, fridge magnet of Silloth from the RNLI shop, two fish and chip outlets, one very good Spanish restaurant (The Bank, met a lady in Workington who worked in the bank), plenty of miles for walking by the seaside. Please visit St. Nicholas church in Whitehaven and meet the volunteers who run the café. Lovely ladies and lovely surroundings.
