You are here: Home > Accommodation > The Dairy at Brackenthwaite Farm
The Dairy at Brackenthwaite Farm is a firm favourite among couples due to its charming character, beautiful presentation, unique features, and magnificent outlook towards The Old Man of Coniston in The Lake District. Its spacious, open plan layout also makes it the number one choice for solo travellers, too.
Upon entering the property you’ll be greeted with the impressive sight of this tastefully designed studio apartment that oozes character. Take five steps down into the living area and you’ll notice the high ceiling and abundance of natural light coming in from the almost full wall windows on two sides, allowing for some spectacular views of open fields and the mountains beyond.
Brackenthwaite Farm sits just south of The Lake District at Morecambe Bay on the border between the Cumbria South Lakes and Lancashire. Set within ten acres of land but within easy reach of Silverdale, Arnside, and beyond, Brackenthwaite Farm offers the perfect mix of ‘escape to the country’ with plenty of places to visit, explore, and eat, plus things to do, appreciate, and enjoy.
