Friendly Host and great location. Cracking location and friendly host who couldn’t do enough to help you. A great place to get away from it all, yet only a short cycle to Keswick

Another lovely stay at Powter Howe A peaceful location, a welcoming and attentive host, beautiful surroundings, and great food. A nice escape from the noise of Keswick town centre. I had a very comfortable bedroom and the bathroom was everything I needed after a hard day running up the fells. It's nice to sit in the garden and watch the hens.

Wonderfully charming Wonderfully charming quaint b&b. Greeted on arrival by the very welcoming host who immediately set the fire away and brought me cake and biscuits, she was very helpful and informative regarding local walks. The property and grounds are superbly maintained and it was so peaceful watching the chickens roaming freely from my bedroom window and listening to the birds.

Powter Howe is a wonderful place to stay. So welcoming and homely for a B&B. A beautiful old house and garden, plenty of space, very peaceful, a lovely breakfast and open fire in the evening. Mrs Lockwood is an excellent host, and the other guests who stayed during my 9-night visit were very pleasant as well. There are lovely short walks nearby to the lake and in the woods, and only 10 minutes drive to Keswick. I hope to be back soon.

A great place to stay A beautiful location, very peaceful and a welcoming host who was very attentive. A lovely spacious bedroom, great bathroom. Breakfast was substantial and I enjoyed the short walk down to the lake, along with the gardens which added to the vibe, along with the hens! Thanks again for a wonderful stay.
