Amazing place on earth
Review Submitted: February 19, 2011

The Nook is a lovely cottage! It has a big kitchen equipped with everything you need (tip: get your shopping delivered from Tesco), nice, sunny, spacious bedrooms (you can see great sunsets from the top floor!), a cosy living room – all in all the perfect place to stay in the quiet and peaceful Silecroft village. I went on my own, accompanied by my dog – we got a very warm welcome from the housekeeper who found a ball for my dog to play with and showed us the way to the beach – a ten minutes walk along the ‘main’ road, which really felt like being somewhere else on earth. When we arrived at the beach I bought ice-cream from the ice cream van, sat down on a bench watching the sea – just a brilliant start into what I would call my best holiday in 2010. The beach is absolutely stunning when the tide is out, and offers great walks along the coast. On the other side of Silecroft you can climb up the Black Combe which has beautiful views. Another absolutely amazing walk is the ‘upper Eskdale path’, starting at Muncaster Castle. Easy to reach by train (stop: Ravenglass) – this is my favourite walk in the Lake District, with a magnificent scenery. All in all, I had a restful week full of sunshine, good sleeps in a comfortable bed, and can’t wait to stay in the Nook again! Highly recommended!
