I stayed at Powter Howe for a single night while doing some hiking.
The location is blissfully quiet and away from it all even though the A66 is close by (but no sound from it). The house is a beautiful 15th century cottage with many original features including slightly uneven floors and little reading nooks. The garden is delightful.
Mrs Lockwood is a wonderful host, welcoming guests personally and with great old-school hospitality and warm humour. She also makes a marvellous breakfast.
There is a lovely short walk around Powter How woods from the doorstep, including a little path down to the shore of Bassenthwaite Lake, which was lovely and serene. (Ideal for a morning or evening dip!)
For more challenging walks, it’s easy to access the Beckstones Gill path up to Lord’s Seat and Barf, or the forest trails of Whinlatter.
There are evening meal options a short drive away in Braithwaite, including the Coledale Inn, the Royal Oak and the Ruddings.
I have stayed in many venues across the Lake District over many years but I think this may be my favourite.
