Bay view is a lovely house and is ideal for large family gatherings such as ours. The house is quite quirky with interesting furniture and furnishings and some amazingly large and spacious rooms. It could easily accommodate up to 24 people with plenty of public space. There were two cookers and a microwave, two fridges including one which is very large and a large freezer. There were also two large screen TVs. There were actually 11 bedrooms and the two attic rooms slept three each but with no door separating them.

There are great views from the house over Morecambe bay with ever changing moods. Silverdale is a pleasant village with convenient shops. The surrounding area is beautiful with good walks and sightseeing opportunities.

The local pub, the Woodland, is a prize winning pub in an old manor house. It is ten minutes walk from the house. We also liked the Wolfhouse gallery and coffee shop and the Carnforth station exhibition.

Our favourite walk was from the house to Far Arnside and then along the cliff top paths to Arnside via Blackstone point, returning over Arnside Knott and past Arnside tower - Some stunning views.

The agent was efficient and helpful in dealing with minor queries.
