Loved being able to enjoy the gardens and the fantastic work the young people did with the owls and the raptors. We wished we had had the basket breakfast every day having tried it on our last day.

ovely location , functional and clean.
A lovely location and a pleasant welcome . Clean and functional, though in need of some refurbishment . If you want luxury in the grounds of a castle, this is not for you - but if you want a no nonsense place to enjoy walks straight from the door, and be in some beautiful grounds, then it’s ideal . Breakfast could be served in the sister hotel , a drive of 5 mins or a 30 min walk, or a ( adequate but a little unusual ) pack up left outside your door , or you could take your own and use the extensive available on site kitchen , which we would definitely do next time .

Very comfortable, clean and tidy. Just a bit dated and basic. We also opted for the breakfast pack, which was delivered the next morning and was very generous for the price.

Good family break
Despite arriving to check in within the times stated, we experienced a delay. We were told intially 15 minutes though after waiting more than half an hour we asked again, and experienced a further short delay. That said we enjoyed our break and would return. We would advise anyone to book bed and breakfast. The breakfast provided in the cafe was up there with the best ive had anywhere. All was delicious and freshly cooked, with a friendly welcome. The accommodation facilities were perfect for a small family and gave us the chance to arrive prepared and organise an evening meal.

Owls, views and history.
Basic but clean accommodation. The room was reasonably comfortable but a bit tatty. Staff were friendly and helpful but check-in was not as smooth as it could be. Breakfast in the stable yard cafe next door was good. What sets this accommodation apart is the fact that it's sited within the castle grounds and you have free rein when the castle is closed to visitors. The price of the accommodation also includes entry to the castle grounds during the day, includeing the owl, hawk and falconry displays, which are fantastic. My wife and I recommend the Coachman's Quarters and we'll be returning in the Spring.

Muncaster Castle
Amazing surroundings within the castle grounds Stayed in the coachman’s quarters . Clean, comfortable room with tea and coffee provided. Breakfast in the Old Stables was very good with cereal and fruit juice and hot breakfast cooked to order. Fantastic views from the terrace which we had access to before and after the visiting public. Fascinating insight into birds of prey and a fantastic display with owls and hawks. The castle itself is still lived in and furnishings , art work and exhibits open to public .Accompanying ghost stories added atmosphere to the evening stroll in the gardens . Couple of nice pubs serving food in Ravenglass which is a couple of minutes drive or half hour walk .Would definitely stay again .

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We loved the beautiful grounds and the kid-friendliness of the whole experience. My grandson was so enamored with the owls, we had to stay late the next day so he could see the owl show again. I love what they are doing to help birds of prey!

To recuperate and discover some ancestry
We had a fabulous 4 days; made extra special by the warm welcome we received and great, understated service throughout our stay. Owners and staff alike were friendly and informative. The grounds are beautiful and very peaceful, the history surrounding us was truly interesting and the access to some of the most beautiful places in England easy and compelling. The breakfasts were well presented and quintessentially English, our room was warm, comfortable and welcoming. Excellent, just what was needed!

The property was clean with ample amenities, lounge area to relax in and play games with the children. From the doorstep was the castle, birds of prey & herons, children’s play area, enchanted forest, maze and some nice walks. The Pennington in Ravenglass was very welcoming too, we hadn’t booked but the staff were lovely and managed to make our evening meal to take back.

Lovely little place
The room was quite basic and cold, it was quite a big room to heat up. The windows are not double glazed as it's an old building so probably let a lot of heat out! The room had everything you needed really. We were in Room 1 which was a disabled accessible room with seat in shower but this can be moved to the side. The bed was two singles put together. It was in beautiful gardens and we had a lovely walk around in the morning before the crowds came, the castle is lovely too and you get a discount for being a guest as well as free access to the owl sanctuary. Breakfast is a little early for a weekend especially when you have left the kids at home and can have a lie-in, only open until 9.30. The food was nice though and cooked to order, more fruit selection would have been nice though. It is in the old stables which was nice to see the original features. Check-out is at 10.30 which again seems early. We went to the Pennington hotel bar for a meal in the evening (about 5 min drive) and the staff and food were lovely, also got 10% off the bill as we were guest. Would definitely stay again but would ask for a different room if possible.

Muncaster Castle - Great for Families
Our stay at Muncaster Castle really was memorable. Beautiful surroundings, friendly staff and plenty to do for kids. We hiked through the woods, were entertained by a comedy magician, enjoyed the adventure playground, explored the meadowvole maze, marvelled at the owls and relaxed in a spacious lounge enjoying a DVD. I would recommend a stay here; we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
