Grisdale View, Howe Top and Howe End - Three cottages beautifully converted from an old Stable Block with views over the fells. The cottages have also all been completely refurbished and are furnished to a very high standard. Accommodation: Comfortable living room with dining area and fully equipped kitchen with WiFi internet access, flat screen digital TV/DVD, and video player, cooker, microwave, fridge/freezer, toaster. Bathroom - bath with electric shower over, W.C., wash basin and shaver socket, heater, fully carpeted throughout. Two bedrooms; one double and one with two single 2'6" beds which make into a double if need be. All beds have duvets. You will have the run of the large gardens at Near Howe with many secluded seating areas.
Near Howe offers an ideal, quiet and tranquil self catering cottage retreat located in the heart of the Cumbrian countryside. Our seven tastefully converted high quality self catering cottages, provide the ideal answer if you are looking for that quiet, away from it all self catering cottage holiday in the Lake District. There are great views in every direction and lots of spectacular walks to savour. A True Oasis of Peace and Tranquillity in the Lake District. Pets and children welcome.
Grisdale View occupies a stunning elevated position on a tree lined hill, giving it glorious 360 degree views out over arguably some of the most delightful countryside in the Lake District National Park. Near Howe lies at the end of a delightful driveway across rolling Cumbrian farm land, but is within very easy reach of the A66, midway between the lovely Cumbrian market towns of Penrith and Keswick. Equally close at hand is Ullswater, topped and tailed by Pooley Bridge at the North and Glenridding to the South while in the opposite direction lies the picturesque village of Mungrisdale and further at 'Back o'Skidda' is Caldbeck, the former home of famous huntsman John Peel. All of this delightful countryside helps bring tourists to the area over an ever increasing season. The surrounding area can provide many activities and pastimes, including golf, fishing, pony trekking, boating and walking, from the gentlest of rambles to the most strenuous of fell walks. For the not so energetic, Near Howe is the ideal base from which to tour the magnificent Cumbrian countryside and enjoy the scenic beauty of our lovely Lakeland.
