The cottage is small yet nothing you need has been missed. It is next to the owners house where thet were having some building work done which caused us little or no problems. The owner couldn't appologise enough and sent over a bottle of wine. On arival there was a bottle of wine in the fridge along with milk. There was tea, coffee and sugar in the cupboardso there was refreshment on your arrival. The area around the cottage is beautiful to amazing, the owner friendly and helpful. I would recomend this cottage and the surrounding area to anyone wanting a laidback scenic holiday. Our week was over too quickly. Thank you for a lovely time.

A lovely little cottage set on the outskirts of Silecroft. Had everything we needed, the owners were welcoming and very helpful with regard to local attractions and places to eat. Muncaster Castle well worth a visit, about 20 minutes drive from the cottage. Local access to beach and train station.

It was a perfect break from the hustle and bustle of daily life for me and my wife. This small and cosy the little cottage has what you need. All the necessary facilities to make you feel at home. Even if you stay at the cottage you will not miss on any entertainment. Location is great. Many nearby features to explore and see.

“Hickory Cottage was perfect for our ...”

Hickory Cottage was perfect for our New Year getaway, being right on the doorstep of Black Combe and also the Irish Sea. The Cottage itself was very clean and compact, had everything we needed including maps, books, torches and a compass, and was very warm! The bed was so comfy! Helen was extremely helpful and accommodating, and we could not have asked for a better host. Would recommend staying here whenever in the South Lakes. Thanks!

The property

A detached cottage situated next to the owner’s home just outside the village of Silecroft on Whicham Valley. Sited at the base of Blackcombe, with White Combe beyond in the South West corner of the Lake District National Park.

Wainwright’s Black Combe walk can be started directly from the door of Hickory Cottage.

The rural location and open plan living makes Hickory Cottage the perfect countryside retreat for couples.

Upon entering the cottage, you are greeted by a bright and light open plan living area with comfortable sofas where you can relax comfortably and admire the countryside views, or enjoy an evening in front of the TV.

A well equipped kitchen lies across from this, with all the amenities you need to cook lovely meals after a day exploring.

To the side of the living area is a cosy double bedroom with views of the garden.

The cottage is completed by a family bathroom with Velux window.

Outside the cottage there is a gravelled garden with seating so you can sit back and enjoy a refreshing drink in the sun.

Silecroft offers an excellent pub and a golf course, set on the West Coast train branch line, which travels up the Cumbrian coast to Ravenglass and beyond, as far as Carlisle.

Just a short walk away is a beautiful, safe sandy beach; the perfect place for a relaxed stroll beside the sea, or to watch the Clydesdales Heavy Horses canter through the surf.

The ancient market town of Broughton-in-Furness is within easy driving distance, as is the seaside village of Ravenglass.

There are a range of walks and attractions to take advantage of, including breathtaking views from Blackcombe where Wales, and Scotland can all be seen, the stunning wooded trails or scenic boat trips of Lake Windermere, Scafell Pike, the homes of Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter or the historic and haunted Muncaster Castle.

Perfectly located to take in the famous landmarks and historical attractions of the Lake District, this property is a peaceful cottage which can be enjoyed throughout the year.
