Muncaster Cottages

infested with blue bottle flies

The property was a fantastic size for 8 of us, beds very comfortable, showers were great, the oven was amazing. Loved that it had a dishwasher. It was in a perfect location and stunning views. Great value for money.

The top floor rooms didn’t get very warm, our daughters said they were cold. The boiler went off after the electricity went off in the area on New Year’s Day. Kieran was great and we got it working again. The doors are not great, tough to open and lock. The dining table was fragile and felt like it was going to give way. The pans, plates, glasses etc felt sticky and greasy.

Spacious, warm, comfortable beds.

Pot holes in driveway, kept bottoming the car when it was loaded with bikes etc. Small kitchen for a lot of people.

Wonderful cottage for a weekend away with friends or family! Big oven and stove for cooking for many, lovely living room with access to streaming platforms. In the winter it was a little cold (only living room) but there is a fireplace so one could watch a movie cozied up with a fire.

Fireplace, location, size and big living room

The property was very rustic, full of history and in a lovely location. And loved that being an old property it had kept its charm.

The only issue was the driveway up to the property there’s a lot of pot holes and as we landed when it was dark wasn’t expecting it to be as bad as it was.

Cannot fault the value for money with such a big property. All the beds were large and comfy, bedrooms were big, two socialising rooms so plenty of space for our lot. Several bathrooms, which is always nice and helpful. Lots of character. Got there to the heating on which was a nice touch.

It wasn't clean; there were 4 dead flies in our bathroom, one of the bedroom bedsheets were stained, and a lot of the crockery was dirty. It was not clearly explained that this is actually two accomodations in one, so it is one big house split into two with locked doors / plywood separating the connecting parts; the place is pet friendly which was lovely to be able to bring pets, but the dog we brought does not interact well with other dogs, and he could hear and smell them on the other side of the door, which became a problem and some of the party had to leave early. Also the front entrance is well lit and looks incredible to drive up, but our entrance is round the side with no light and in the dark looked like a servant's entrance in comparison to the grand front door. I think all of this is reflected in the price, and you get what you pay for

Pennington hotel couldn't do enough picked guest up from the train station and brought them excellent staff couldn't do enough

Lovley setting. Children enjoyed the freedom to play outside. Comfy and cosy furnishings

Bed in the top left bedroom had a dip and was not comfy. Fortunately the person staying with us was only with us 1 night he ended up on the sofa

We liked the size of the rooms and the location. The staff in the hotel were very pleasant, helpful and accommodating. When we had an issue with no heating, staff attended the house within minutes of the complaint. Beds were comfortable and linen was clean.

The house could do a some TLC, wall paper coming off the walls, paint peeling off walls. There are only 6 comfortable chairs to relax in the main living room; there were 7 of us so one had to sit on dining room chair. A leak from the ceiling appeared in the smaller bathroom, which seemed to clear up very quickly, but not before dripping on my son causing discoloration to his t-shirt. No recycling available. More information needed in the welcome pack.
