The Coachman’s Quarters – Muncaster Castle

All right, you’re not exactly sleeping inside Muncaster Castle, but it’s near as can be, with a unique self-catering or B&B experience available in the renovated coachman’s lodgings and haylofts, with the manicured castle lawns just a step away. And in the evening, when everyone has gone home for the day, you’re left to sip a glass of wine in the Muncaster gardens and play at being lord of the manor for a while.

Just outside Ravenglass, on the edge of the Lake District National Park, this lavish haunted castle and its wonderful grounds are yours to enjoy at this unique place to stay. There are 11 rooms in all, 9 of which have en-suite bathrooms, and 2 of which are dog-friendly; there is 1 family room and 1 suite. The rooms are arranged around a cobbled courtyard, and if you’re looking to arrange a large family gathering, you can book the entire block for your party.  Both B&B and self catering options are available and there is a large, well equipped, communal kitchen.  All of the rooms are fresh and clean, with stone walls and exposed beams adding plenty of atmosphere.
