Muncaster Castle Coachman's Quarters

“Wonderful stay”

The grounds were wonderful and the walks were peaceful, so I didn’t need to drive; free access to axe throwing was a great bonus! Everything was grwat.

The gardens were good and the lounge room was good, but the bathroom was tired and the shower looked unclean so we didn’t want to use it.

“We will be back!”

Staying in the castle grounds was amazing, with access to the gardens and hawks & owls included in the package; the kitchen and lounge were also useful additions to our room. The bar could open a bit later in the evenings.

“Sehr empfehlenswerte, tolle Unterkunft, besonders für Familien, Naturfans und Historienbegeisterte”

We really enjoyed the surroundings of Muncaster Castle, with its great gardens, parks, and falconry. It was a highlight of our trip through Ireland and England. The rooms in the “Coachman's Quarter” were historic yet well furnished and clean. The family room with two bedrooms and a bathroom was tidy, the beds very comfortable, the shower nice, the towels good, and there was nothing to complain about. However, it is a self‑catering property and breakfast is not included, so the price is not entirely inexpensive. The “Stables Café” nearby offers breakfast at moderate prices, but we used the guest kitchen in the quarter, which has a gas stove and oven (the gas oven is a bit awkward but acceptable), a sink, a fridge and freezer, and plenty of dishes and cutlery. There is also a separate dining area and a living room with couches, reading material, and tourist information. We lived well there. The absolute highlights were the falconry right next door (visible from the windows and with bird watching), the various bird and flight displays three times a day, the castle itself – very worth visiting – and the extensive gardens and parkland with countless walking paths through beautiful nature and lovely plants. There is also a weapons chamber where you can try archery, crossbow, and axe throwing (included once in the price). The castle tour costs a small extra fee. There are also playgrounds, a whimsical path with elf figures, ponds, and many seating areas to relax and enjoy. There is plenty of exciting things to discover in the area, especially the Ravenglass & Eskdale Steam Railway in the neighboring town, about 1 km from the property, which is great for mountain excursions.
