"Our recent stay at 'Old School Muncaster House' was nothing short of exceptional, especially considering the unique circumstance of 5 families sharing this remarkable retreat."
Nestled amidst nature's embrace, this historic schoolhouse-turned-cottage provided an unforgettable experience that seamlessly blended the charm of yesteryears with modern comfort. From the moment we stepped through the doors, we were enamored by the cottage's rustic yet cozy ambiance, which perfectly accommodated our large group. The spacious interior and thoughtful layout ensured that each family had ample room to relax and unwind, while still fostering a sense of togetherness and camaraderie. The breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside served as the perfect backdrop for our memorable gathering. We were gathered around the fireplace sharing stories, or enjoying meals together on the patio, every moment spent at 'Old School Muncaster House' was filled with warmth and laughter. Despite its secluded location, the cottage was conveniently close to a variety of attractions and activities, ensuring that there was never a dull moment during our stay. From exploring nearby hiking trails to discovering charming local villages, there was something for everyone to enjoy. In conclusion, our time at 'Old School Muncaster House' was an unforgettable experience that brought 5 families together in a truly special way. Whether you're planning a reunion or simply seeking a peaceful retreat with loved ones, this historic cottage offers the perfect setting for creating lasting memories. We can't recommend it highly enough and look forward to returning in the future.

"What a fab place to stay."
Group of 18, for the grans 83rd birthday. Youngest person 24, and all ages in-between. Plenty of room to relax, loads of bedrooms for all, great facilities, Internet hit and miss due to the number of people all trying to get on ( but, that's not important, we were there for a birthday party). Very warm once the heaters had kicked in and the wood burner was up and lit. Large enough kitchen to provide for all. And a dinner table that all were able to sit around at 1 sitting. Lovely grounds too, and ample parking. Description wasn't quite accurate, the place is better than the description. Would definitely stop here again. Only thing it needs, is an outdoor, metal ash bin for cleaning out the fire place.
Thank you for such a lovely feedback. Will are still making improvements to the property and by your next visit the internet issues will be sorted. See you soon. Thank you Property Owner
