Three self-catering properties owned by the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway and standing on the station itself: two restored Pullman coaches, the Elmira and the Maid of Kent, each sleeping four, and Hilton Cottage on platform one, the old railway manager's house, sleeping six. All three take dogs, up to two, at twenty-five pounds a dog for a short stay or forty pounds for a week or more. Staying here does not include travel, so a dog still needs its own five-pound ticket to ride up the valley. The estuary, the Roman bath house and Muncaster woods are all within a mile on foot.
These are the parts only the business can add. We check the dog policy and stamp the date — photos, prices and their own words are theirs to put in, and this listing is waiting for them.
The rooms that take dogs, and where they sleep.
Can the dog actually sleep here, and what does it cost.
What a night actually costs, so nobody has to ring to find out.
How many dog-friendly rooms, whether they are ground floor, where the dog sleeps.
Claiming fills every box above, and lets you reply to reviews when they open. £15 a month, no contract, and it never changes the verdict — the stamp stays ours.
The railway's cafe on platform one at Ravenglass, doing light meals, snacks, ice cream and hot drinks between trains. The Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway's own visitor information permits dogs on the lower floor of its station cafes, which here is the whole seating area, and there are water bowls marked "paws for a drink" around the station. Dogs must be on a short lead. It is the obvious first or last stop of a day on the line, and the estuary and the Roman bath house are five minutes' walk away.
A small glamping site of five-metre canvas bell tents pitched in a wooded corner of the seventy-seven acre Muncaster gardens, each sleeping up to four. Two well-behaved dogs are welcome for an additional charge, but the estate is surrounded by working farmland and asks for dogs on a lead at all times on site. Staying here puts the whole garden and the terrace walk on the doorstep, though dogs are still barred from the castle state rooms and the Hawk and Owl Centre. Ravenglass, the estuary and the railway terminus are a mile down the hill.
Self-catering accommodation in the old stable block at Muncaster Castle, a mile above Ravenglass: nine en-suite bedrooms, a bunk room and bell tents sharing a communal kitchen, dining room and lounge. Dogs cost ten pounds each per night, up to two per room, and must be on a lead in all the public areas and never left alone in the bedroom. Staying here does not by itself get a dog into the gardens, which need a dog ticket bought on arrival, and dogs are not allowed in the castle state rooms or the Hawk and Owl Centre at all. The seventy acres of woodland garden and the Esk estuary path are on the doorstep.
Nobody has written one for Ravenglass Railway Carriages and Hilton Cottage. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
