Overall, well equipped for our purposes. Close proximity to Muncaster (free parking and great walks), Seascale (great fish and chips and coastal walks) and the Bridge Inn and Bower Hotel nearby are very much recommended for Lunch. Perhaps, an upgrade in size of television on the living area wall and the provision of a small table to go in front of the comfy sofa could just elevate this already good value property to the next level. Our small dog loved the local area and the cottage does already have much to offer for everyone. Harry and Wendy

The view was nice, but everything else was a letdown. 1. It was filthy: The place was gross and smelled bad. The mats/ carpets were covered in dog hair, and one of the toilets was dirty when we got there, so I had to clean it myself. There were flies and spiders everywhere. Kids had to srram overtime seeing them. 2. It wasn't maintained: One bathroom was completely blocked, so we couldn't shower in it. The showerhead leaked. The vacuum cleaner smelled so bad that we all felt sick when we took it out. The kitchen trash bin didn't work, so we had to open it by hand every time. 3. No essentials: The kitchen didn't have a pan, so we had to buy one for breakfast. There wasn't a dustpan, just a brush. 4. Wrong location: The postcode took us somewhere else, and the house was at least four minutes away. It was hard to find, and the area around the house and the road to get there was sketchy and dirty. Overall, it was a really bad experience with the kids to stay at Muncaster view. I wouldn't recommend it if you have kids or allergies to dogs. Not the worth of money.
