The mantra of Seaville Farm Barn is 'just bring yourself' for here in the sympathetically converted barns of a Grade II listed farmhouse less than ten minutes drive to sandy beaches every effort has been made to provide the perfect getaway. To preserve the façade of this interesting building all the accommodation is individually designed featuring exposed stonework and high beams. The sounds of the countryside are peaceful full of birdsong and walks from the farm lead to SSI wildlife sites of Border and Skinburness Marshes and on to coastal paths. Whilst the working farm setting is home to hens ducks Jersey cows and a donkey called Mollie there is ample of space to enjoy kicking around with a ball or to pedal a toy tractor. After a day out on a nearby beach or walking on the fells visitors can relax in the hot tub (bookable for sole use extra charge) to soothe aching limbs or for the more energetic bounce themselves fit on the trampoline. And 'foodies' will love the homemade fare served at the farm's tea rooms where fresh eggs and Jersey milk can also be purchased.
This northwest corner of Cumbria sees the majestic fells of the Lake District give way to the undulating coastal plain of the Solway Firth. Across the tidal sea estuary the mountains of Scotland stand proud – on a clear day the skyline is filled with high peaks. All around Seaville Farm Barn lies rich farmland which after a mile or two runs west to the long sandy beaches of Silloth and Allonby or north to the special nature site of Moricambe Bay and the 'sinking sands' of Burgh by Sands. Eastwards the River Eden affords lovely walks along its meandering valley and around Talkin Tarn near picturesque Brampton. The start of Hadrian's Wall is just 10 miles away and the border city of Carlisle is about half an hour's drive as is Bassenthwaite Lake with its Osprey viewpoint. The opposite shore of Scotland taking in a visit to Gretna Green on the way can easily be explored in a day trip. Golf riding and sea fishing are available nearby and the charming Victorian town of Silloth (4 miles) offers a good selection of shops and pubs.
