Great b and b near K

A very pleasant establishment just outside Keswick. Free parking and local bus stop. Room is in a really old terrace cottage full of character. The proprietor had a roaring fire going and she offered some homemade cafe to have with a brew. Breakfast was great - the eggs were fresh and provided by the hens in the garden. Can't wait to go back

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.

Home from home

Very traditional 500 year old Tudor house. It’s beautiful. Has its quirks - sloping squeaky floors, uneven walls, nooks & crannies & so much history! The landlady is a fabulous baker, serving up all homemade mince pies, millionaires shortbread & a homemade bread as part of breakfast! She even makes her own jams & chutneys - I bought 2 to bring home. It’s like staying in a home from home. It’s warm, welcoming, cosy & so homely. Plenty of parking space outside, lots of wildlife roaming in the gardens & beautiful dogs in the house. Would absolutely stay again.

Outstanding views, warm welcome, well looked after

From the moment I arrived I was made to feel at home. Fresh biscuits and cake greeted me, and the room was made up every day. Breakfast was really tasty, particularly nice sausage - and an abundance of fresh juice and fresh bread. It felt like home from home, and by the end of the third night I felt I'd made a new friend. And the views of Skiddaw are amazing.

It was the most beautiful place to stay. Old worldly charm, delicious cooked breakfast and a little plate with cakes when we got back from a day out. There was a cozy open fire to sit and read by and our hostess was friendly and helpful. Would love to return one day.
