We stayed in Sharp Edge, the upstairs apartment which was very modern and comfortable and had everything you could want, including a lovely shower and a very comfortable bed! The Lakeland weather was typically changeable but when the clouds disappear, the views from Near Howe are spectacular. Steve and Jill have made sure you have everything you need, but Tia... More

We booked a short notice, two night stay, after the weather reports put a stop to our plans to go camping. And for once we were grateful of the poor weather, otherwise we would not have found this gem of a place!!!! We stayed in 'Sharp Edge' a first floor apartment attached to the main house, which was breath taking.... More

My husband, myself & two good friends spent 4 nights in the Bannerdale Apartment. The accommodation was superb. The welcome from Steve, Jill & Tia(the dog), was so friendly and helpful. This was my first visit to the Lake District (the other three members of the group had previosly visited)and as long as we can stay at Near Howe, we... More

Thoroughly relaxed after our much needed short break at Near Howe. We stayed in Sharp Edge, a luxurious upstair appartment, with the most stunning views. The flat was immaculate and well maintained, as was the beautiful gardens. The bed was so comfortable and the bed linen was clean, crisp and beautifully laundered. Bathtime was a huge treat looking out on... More

We escaped to Near Howe during April to avoid London and the Royal Wedding mayhem. We stayed in the Bannerdale cottage - full of mod cons, spacious and very clean. The bathrooms were fabulous; the views breathtaking. Jill and Steve (and Tia the dog) were gracious hosts. Close to Keswick and the motorway for a day trip to Hadrian's Wall.... More

We stayed in this cottage for a week in last Aagust and we absolutely loved the place and the owner's family not forgetting the loveliest dog, Tia who became the best friend of my son. We were so warmly welcomed and throughout the stay, we were treated as part of the whole family. The owner couple were very kind to... More

You could tell that the landlords Steve and Jill re-invest a good part of their earnings into the cottages as everything looks new and well kept. They were always avaialable for any assistance. Very comforatable cottage, with brilliant panorama. Would like to go again when our one year old is older. Keep it up Steve and Jill.

Excellent place to stay on vacation. Wifi available. Close to Keswick. Stunning views. Quiet and clean place to stay.

This was our forth stay at Near Howe and it just gets better each time we go. The accommodation is first class, the views are fantstic and the tranquility of the location tops it off.
