Perfect for an active walking holiday with your canine companions, Virginia Cottage is a traditional holiday stay buried within the Arnside & Silverdale AONB, and just a stroll away from the RSPB Reserve at Leighton Moss. This pet-friendly cottage holds heaps of character, with its low beamed ceilings, exposed stone and antique décor, offering an ideal setting for a welcoming winter retreat. There is gas central heating throughout the cottage. Find your own private outdoor patio as you enter the cottage, where a charming seating area awaits you in this peaceful setting, to enjoy a glass of wine in the summer, or to a hot cup of morning coffee in the brisk autumn air. Rest your legs after an exciting day of exploring this fantastic location in the snug, low-beamed sitting room, a gorgeous space where you can sit back on the plush sofa and wind down with a film and a cup of tea whilst the log-effect gas stove creates a soothing ambiance. All of your self-catered meals can be cooked in the modern kitchen/diner, that still boasts the original cooking range (don’t worry – it is only for show!) There is a spacious dining table and amenities including oven, hob, fridge, dishwasher and microwave. There is also a stand-alone freezer, but that is out in the garage. Take your pick between two beautifully-decorated bedrooms, a master double room benefiting from a king-size bed, ample storage, a dressing table and plush armchair, whilst the smaller room is perfect for a single guest, offering a 4’ double bed and storage below original wooden beams. Start your morning in the attractive shower room, equipped with a refreshing cabinet shower, heated towel rail, washing machine and tumble dryer, great for throwing your clothes into a warm wash after a mucky day of exploring nearby woodlands and walking trails, something both you and your dog can enjoy. This fabulous holiday let is tucked away in the heart of Arnside and Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where you can discover a wealth of scenic walking trails, adventurous cycling routes, rare wildlife spotting and historical attractions including The Three Towers, the Wells of Silverdale, Silverdale & Arnside Art & Craft Trail, and Lakeland Wildlife Oasis. Alternatively, explore the idyllic village of Silverdale, browsing around a selection of shops, local pubs, delicious cafés, or visit the nearby village of Arnside for an even wider selection of shopping and dining opportunities. Silverdale is within easy reach of the Lake District with all the fantastic walking, boating and shopping opportunities that this very special piece of England offers. Choose Virginia Cottage as a homely base for a country retreat where you can relax, away from it all, but also be close enough to make the occasional foray to all the attractions of North Lancashire, South Cumbria and the Lakes.

Silverdale is a quaint coastal village close to Morecambe Bay and Arnside, home to a range of shops, pubs, cafés, and a plethora of surrounding nature such as woodland walks, rare wildlife and the Leighton Moss rspb Reserve a mile away. Also nearby is the Lake District, Lune Valley, Yorkshire Dales and The Forest of Bowland. Silverdale is a great spot to mix between a seaside and countryside holiday.
