This property is part of Brackenthwaite Holidays, which is a business owned and run by Harry & Matthew Armistead. Matthew has lived at Brackenthwaite all his known life as his parents bought the then farm in 1976.

Harry and Matthew took over the ownership of the estate in 2022 and have developed the site and properties to better align with their vision and values, which includes providing a high level of comfort and facilities, supporting nature and promoting the natural beauty of the area.

Brackenthwaite Holidays is set within 9-acres of its own private land in the Arnside and Silverdale designated National Landscape area.

Leighton Beck runs alongside the perimeter of the site attracting migrating birds, deer and other wildlife to the area.

To the east there are views of Farleton Knott, which is a superb place for walkers to visit as it offers some stunning views over Morecambe Bay and is home to some of the best natural Limestone Pavements in the country. To the west you will see Coniston Old Man and the hills of The Lake District beyond. This offers a superb backdrop against the setting sun.

Although set in a rural area on the outskirts of Arnside and Silverdale villages, Brackenthwaite Holidays is also close enough to the A6 and M6 roads for easy driving to Kendal and Lake Windermere in the north, and the historic City of Lancaster and Morecambe town in the south, as well and being within easy reach of The Forest of Bowland AONB or even Manchester for a city visit.

From the site you will find lots of activities to keep you entertained including walking and hiking, cycling, sailing, kayaking and other water sports, golf, and RSPB Leighton Moss for bird and wildlife watching. You could even take in the grandeur of our local historic buildings and gardens. You certainly wont be short of things to you and we provide all our visitors with plenty of options prior and during their stay with us.

The Coach House has been furnished to offer high levels of comfort and style, while Brackenthwaite Holidays itself offers a wonderfully unique rural experience that will be a particular hit with accompanying children (and probably adults too).

Within the 9-acres of private grounds you will find resident hens and duck, the two geese: Lucy and Juicy, three pet lambs: Baa-bara and her twin sister Dolly, and Maa-ry, as well as white doves and visiting barn swallows come to next and raise their young during April and end September every year. We may even have horses on site too as Brackenthwaite welcomes people 'holidaying with their horses'.

We have a dedicated enclosed exercise area for dogs and a play area for children and families with a kick about area and other outdoor games.

So, whether you intend to spend most of your time out in the local area or relaxing onsite, there is plenty to keep you all comfortable and entertained.
