We had an excellent stay at Middle Howe. The flat is very well equipped and comfortable. It is far more spacious than it seems on the photos and the parking is very easy. The panoramic views are incredible and the balcony is a lovely addition. Great walks from the doorstep and a handy five minute drive into Keswick. Would 100% stay again.

We loved our stay at The Howe very much, beautiful views, beautifully furnished & decorated, very comfortable. Only one small comment i would make , there was no coffee, tea or sugar provided, as there has been at other places we have stayed.
