This is a delightful property with a lovely host.It isn’t anything flash but if you’re looking for quaint and original then this is perfect.  It is an older house so has the creaky floor boards and matching decor. Bathroom is clean and newer. Slices were provided on arrival and a beautiful English breakfast included the next morning.Was able to go for walk down to the nearby lake and take in the surrounding beauty.  Would be a great place to base yourself for exploring the lakes district further.

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

Beautiful, warm, clean, friendly - this place is packed full of charm and original features couldn't have asked for a better place to stay - thank you.

Cracking location and friendly host who couldn’t do enough to help you. A great place to get away from it all, yet only a short cycle to Keswick

I have really enjoyed my stay here, it's a wonderful home in beautiful surroundings. The owner could not be more be welcoming and helpful. Had a great sleep and first class breakfast. Thank you

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 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 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.

Beautiful location. A very informal and friendly atmosphere.

Another lovely stay at Powter Howe

Wonderfully charming

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.

Home from home

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.

Outstanding views, warm welcome, well looked after

It was one of the most comfortable stays I’ve ever had. From the cozy cottage to the home cooked breakfast with the stunning views of the Lake District from the garden. There were baby chickens running around and cows just over the fence. The room was comfortable and the house was very nice and warm. I could not recommend enough.

Best BnB ever

Stayed for a week, wish it could have been longer! Host was faultlessly polite and helpful. Wonderful accommodation, fantastic location and stunning scenery. Breakfast was so tasty, I bought some eggs to take him with me. On site dogs were well behaved and friendly. Great base for exploring the Lake District, with quick access to Keswick and surrounding area. Room was comfy, en suite was clean, and the gardens were beautiful. Will come back.

Thoroughly recommended

I wanted somewhere peaceful away from tourists and crowds and I got it. I also wanted a place that wasn't as commercialized as most other places in The Lakes, and I got it. I found, to my great delight, something largely unchanged by commercial pressure and time. Sunlit oak floors and furniture and deep plush furnishings that echoed the sounds of birds and hens running free in the sumptuous gardens that tumbled down to the view of the lake. Two old rescue dogs that minded their own business unless engaged, each seemingly unconscious of their great fortune in having been rescued by the owner, Mrs. Lockwood, who is as diligent with her visitors as she is with her beloved canines. A breakfast room that wouldn't look out of place in a period English drama, to complement the rest of the immaculately-maintained ramshackle long house that weaves and curves around entwining stairs, whose delicate scents preserve in some places the woodsmoke tang of generations of family winters around elegant fire grates. The house is unblemished and unencumbered by tasteless tat and modernity; no TV's to annoy other guests, but with quality Wi-Fi that keeps visitors connected, if they must be, in such a space of peace and quiet. It's perfect for combing quiet relaxation with the frenetic pace of Lakeside tourism.
