It was big enough for us all
It wasn’t cosy like the photos suggest the bathroom needed updating and some new paint would have been good

Absolutely stunning views
Could do with a lick of paint, it’s a bit tired, less white wash more warm tones to match the feel of the building.

Lovely and big but not as advertised, the main hotel Owns a few properties and they decide on the day which one you are in.
Wasn’t very clean. Needs a major revamp, damp and peeling paint on walls and a strong musky smell throughout the house. When. Checking in the hotel staff next door were not very friendly, there is an info sheet to say you can dine next door but need to book, we did this on our last night. The food was lovely but as we were not direct guests of the hotel I felt we were not treated as friendly. The tatty arms and the inn both so fab good and super friendly staff so worth a visit there!!

Spacious plenty of room for our party of 9
Decor was very tired and dated needed a refurbishment. Outside and in. Several of the doors stuck and members of our party got stuck in rooms until other party members came to the rescue. Pictures on website are slightly deceiving.

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.

9.0 / 10.0
The size of the property was more than adequate for two families. The kitchen facilities were home from home and with a large pantry at the back, storage was not a problem. The views from both double bedrooms was delightful to wake up to each morning, and the beds were very comfortable. Two lovely little pubs about a 15 minute walk away (Ratty Arms and The Inn at Ravensglass) which both served homemade food. The lack of WiFi didn't bother us as we took our own entertainment, which was actually quite refreshing, having the full attention of 2 teenagers! (You can only get a mobile signal from the front of the property) If you're wanting a nice, quiet break away in a rural location, Newtown House in Ravenshlass is the place for you! Would most definitely return! *****
The drive into Ravenglass and up the dirt track towards the house are not well-lit and quite narrow and winding. Would recommend arriving during the daytime as opposed to late in the evening.

Excellent property - great sized rooms. Ideal for a good get together.
The heating went off and once it was fixed (quickly by staff) it then was excessively warm and some radiators couldn’t be turned down.

Better maintance of the property. Lack of some basic good quality kitchen equipment.

The view and the locality. Situated within easy walking distance to the Cumbrian coast.and the Ratty miniature railway.
Noisy neighbours! The house was divided into two parts. We could hear through the dividing wall. Especially at bedtime.

The view from the property was amazing. Its a lovely big old property. Garden was lovely and good parking facilities.Main bathroom has been re fitted and in good condition. Peace and quiet. The villiage of Ravenglass is lovely and the steam trains are great to have a go on and well worth a visit.
Property needs some TLC as paint is flaking in bedrooms and ensuites. One ensuite we could not use as shower head would not stay up. The fans in the ensuite bathrooms to the 2 front bedrooms are very noisy and need to be cleaned and maintained and the lights over the sinks in them are attached to main light so in middle of night if you need the bathroom it causes lots of noise and wakes up others as the fan comes on with main light. The road leading up to the cottage has huge pot holes so if in a small car they could cause damage to the car so they need some filling in asap. Do not stay if you want to watch some TV in the evening as we had small children we wanted to watch some tv and all we could get was bbc1/2 the wifi was attached to the tv but the apps did not work they buffered every time we tried to watch something so gave up in the end. wifi for phones is non existent which we relied on as no phone signal in case any elderly parent needed to get in touch. The run down house next door was occupied but we never saw the person which we found a little odd but we saw his birds as they ran through the garden so if you have a dog it could be dangerous to the birds as dogs could chase them. No shops close by to get any essential supplies so take food with you. No information on local attractions such as Muncaster Castle and no wifi to search what is locally. So some leaflets or an information book on local area and attractions would be good.

Didn't have breakfast. Location good for what we wanted to do.
The property while quite acceptable could have done with a little maintenance.

Had to collect from hotel, couple of miles away and remote locstion to get to cottage. need a goo map printed
showering was a problem hot water kept cutting out.
NO shops close by, or food options.
Property is stunning but quite remote and on edge of lakes, so over an hour away from main lakes

Idilic location & super easy to find the cottage from the hotel where you collect the keys. Gorgeous views. Picnic benches and huge gardens were perfect for the sunny evenings. The cottage had everything that you would need for a stay, we only had 3 nights but would have loved longer or to come again next year!
We were warned in advance there was no WiFI but it wasn’t even an issue, the kids were happy playing the whole time and it wasn’t missed! Only thing missing from the kitchen was a tin opener!

The facilities were clean and beautiful, lovely location, house overall was very cosy and great for the price, huge selection of houseware to use and the dishwasher was a huge plus. Really enjoyed the stay overall. Staff were lovely, checkin and out were very smooth and quick. Lots of parking out front. Garden space was beautiful and the house was very warm.
The WiFi didn't work- at all. They did send someone out on our 2nd day there but unfortunately even then it didn't work so I wouldnt rely on having phone reception or WiFi. The bath above the kitchen started to leak too so we were only able to use one shower as the other needed resealing which they were quick to respond to but said they wouldnt be able to reseal it until we left. The pans need replacing as well as one was so warped it wouldn't even sit straight on the hob.

Big house and rooms.
Was extremely cold in top bedrooms, but we were provided with heater very quickly to be fair, so that
was OK.
Must sort driveway, ok for 4x4's but brutal on saloon cars.
Got to get a PIR light for outside the door. Pitch black.
Please open up the fireplace like adjoining property. Would enhance the experience massively.

The location was great; plenty of great walking spots just a short drive away (30 mins). The sheets were all clean and the beds are comfy, however the bedrooms were really cold so I would pack thick pjs if staying in Winter.
We had no contact with the owners other than a message through booking.com advising that no one would be there due to the time of year with instructions to a key pad. This was fine but unfortunately we needed to speak to someone about facilities (cleaning and bins etc) mid-stay and there was no reply to our booking.com message and no answer on the telephone number provided.

The gardens wrapped around the side and front of the house overlooking the peninsula. Plenty of outdoor and indoor seating for all (12 guests). All beds were comfortable and clean with beautiful views of the sea and hills behind. The bedrooms and bathrooms were all of immense size and could facilitate the whole group. The lounge was comfortable and had plenty of space for a group. Service for mobile data is available at the benches in the front garden but nowhere else in the house - this was no issue for us as we were out enjoying the nature the Lake District has to offer.

great size, lovely bedding , kitchen well stocked , clean and well presented , toilet rolls , cleaning stuff provided
some of local shoot parked in front of property and walked through property garden with dogs , concerned re kids safety. understand this a weekly thing , awareness may have mitigated initial alarm / concerns of some of our party.
Dishwasher in front house moves when on and leaks
7.0 / 10.0
The cottage is situated in a beautiful location, ideal for walks and local amenities. The gardens are lovely and the dogs had great fun exploring. The bedrooms were comfy and spacious.
The property is in need of some improvements. Its tired in places and some of the appliences and funishings were broke. The living room and kitchen was snug for 11 people, but managable and is as pictured.
We couldn't get the WiFi to work and was unable to use the front door as it stuck. Overall the property is priced to reflect the offering, but you do get what you pay for.
