I have just returned from an absolutely fabulous week in the Groovy Honeymoon Cottage at Monkhouse Hill near Penrith. I say just, it was actually a few hours ago, but I had 998 posts to catch up on here!
To Claire W (who has already asked about it) and Cupid (and anyone else who booked a week there) you are going to have fantastic honeymoons! Ours was kind of a second honeymoon thanks to my having booked it via MGW and Jennifer the owner thinking that it was my honeymoon
but hey, I plan to make all of my holidays honeymoons from now on.
Anyway, the owners are lovely (and hello if you are reading this!) and the property amazing. Everything was beautifully developed to the highest standard. We had champagne, flowers and chocolates awaiting us. Everything was new, as we were the first people to use the cottage (although Claire and Clare needn't worry, we looked after everything!)
I highly recommend having a sauna and steam bath en suite to your bedroom! It was fantastic, although Mark says that we are not going to be building a sauna in our garden shed
We were sat in there one evening and I could hear a clicking noise, we decided that it was the electricity meter spinning around though!
Apart from having a wonderful time in the cottage there was loads to do in the surrounding area. From walking and view admiring at Ullswater; cultural museum type things at Rheged, and shopping in Carlisle, we weren't stuck for things to do at all.
We had a fantastic week and I want to go back again now. Perhaps for our wedding anniversary. Oh, and seeing that everyone wanted to join Claire W on her honeymoon, we had a look at Great Calva that sleeps a dozen or so people. If she had booked that one, we could have all gone together!
Anyway, a few pictures now. This is the Super King Size bed that we felt a little lonely in the first night as we kept losing each other!
