A very special place - wonderful accommodation, views and garden.

Unusually for a property of this size, all bedrooms were excellent. Activities on site (rib rides, clay pigeon shooting, swimming pool) were all great too. Thank you!

We had a wonderful week in Silverholme.

A fabulous location to explore the lakes and a most amazing house. Easily accommodated 16 of us with a well equipped kitchen. The view from the picture window in the kitchen were out of this world and when the sun went down a roaring fire in the drawing room was super cosy. Highly recommended.
