Lake District Self Catering Holiday Cottage Accommodation

Seaville farm is situated in quiet countryside, close to The Solway Firth.
We have very quiet country lanes with almost no traffic - ideal for exploring on foot or by bicycle.
A selection of bicycles of varying sizes is available for visitors' use, and are always very popular with mums and dads as well as our younger visitors.
The bicycles have had their MOT for this year, ready for our not very taxing, flat country lanes.

We also have pedal tractors, one with a loader and trailer, for any budding farmers.

Treat yourself to a session in our Indoor Hot Spa.
The bubbling waters are complimented by soft lighting and cosy carpeting, in a private in-door Log Cabin.
Why not pamper yourself a little while you are here ?
A glass of wine perhaps ?
Maybe a box of your favourite chocolates, with your hot spa ........... An experience to remember.

Our trampoline is a big hit with everyone of all ages.
Quite often, usually in the evenings, we hear giggles and laughter coming from the trampoline barn.
This usually means that some mums and dads have sneaked out for a quick go and are re-living their youth - but feel free !

Kick off your shoes, and let it all hang out.
let your hair down,

Donkeys.
At the end of September 2009, we acquired 2 donkeys, mother Molly and baby Apache.
At that time, Apache was still totally dependant upon his mother.
Apache is very friendly and inquisitive, whilst his mother Molly, is a little more reserved.
Come along and see them in their paddock.
They'll be very pleased to meet you.

We used to have a flock of around 100 free range hens, but during early 2006 we lost quite a few to a local fox.
If you happen to spot him, please let us know as we are very keen to make his acquaintance !
The hens are always particularly pleased to see anybody, and will come running to meet you at any time of the day, particularly if you have a slice of bread in your hand.
"For the first time ever, I got to pick up a chicken" - A comment from one of our young visitors.

Our rabbits are free range.
They have their own small enclosure with a small shed with a "bolt hole" entrance.
As they are all does, we are not expecting them to increase in number.
They are reasonably tame, so if you would like to offer them a dandelion leaf or two, feel free.

Whale watching, and seal spotting.
You can porpoise watch at the nearby small coastal town of Silloth.
Porpoises have been seen quite often close to the shore.
Drive along the front in a northerly direction towards Skinburness, and park in the "overflow" car park, just past the tennis courts. (We've never seen enough traffic in Silloth to warrant this extra parking).
Park facing the sea, of course, and if you are lucky, you may spot a whale or three 50 to 100 yards out or more..
They surface quite regularly, but do not blow spray.
They are black, and slightly smaller than a dolphin. Make sure you take your binoculars, and maybe some fish and chips !
The occasional Atlantic Grey seal has been spotted in this same area. They certainly live around the opposite coast on the Scottish side, towards the western end of the peninsular.

Foxes
There are plenty of foxes in our area, but to see them, you may have to get up early, or be out around dusk.

Deer.
Occasionally, we see deer on our property. They are bold enough to venture within sight of the farmhouse, but generally during the day they prefer plenty of cover, so they usually pay us a visit during the evenings.

Otters and Badgers.
Though very elusive, both have been seen in the area.
Otters in particular, are known to be increasing in number.
