Howbeck Cottage is a delightful, Grade II listed Cumbrian cottage which has been beautifully renovated in 2022 and is a truly cosy and comfortable cottage, perfect for that relaxing break away in the stunning Lake District National Park. The lovely open-plan living/dining room at Howbeck Cottage is furnished with comfy sofas, whilst the galley-style modern kitchen boasts great appliances (including a dishwasher), and that all-important coffee machine! The stylishly furnished bedrooms ensure a good night’s sleep in the sumptuous beds with crisp white linen. Outside, the enclosed garden and large patio is a sun trap, which is the perfect place to sit and relax, perhaps with a glass of wine or two, taking in the evening sun and star-filled dark skies, reminiscing over your day’s activities.
Howbeck Cottage is set quietly on the fringes of a small Cumbrian village, nestling in the Caldbeck Fells on the northern edge of the Lake District National Park. The village is home to a micro-brewery and community-owned shop and a post office. Nestled in a tranquil and peaceful location, Howbeck Cottage is perfect for couples or friends who like to get out and explore. The nearby village of Caldbeck offers a variety of attractions including a village shop, a farm dairy shop with fresh milk on ’tap’, two tea rooms, and craft shops, making it a great spot for a circular walk from the cottage on a quiet, relaxing day in the Lake District.
With beautiful walks right from your door, you can head to some of the quieter falls of the Lake District National Park (Northern Fells). Surrounded by a maze of quiet country lanes, you may prefer two wheels! (the cottage is located on the Reivers cycling route.)
The Lake District National Park is renowned for its stunning scenery, and from Howbeck Cottage, you can explore it all. Keswick, surrounded by lakes and mountains, is a 30-minute drive away where you can enjoy a stroll through the lovely market town with its many outdoor and independent shops, friendly cafés, and a variety of dining options, or take in a show at the local theatre.
The market town of Penrith, just 25 minutes away, offers supermarkets and several takeaways, as well as a local swimming pool and gym. Outdoor pools are located close by for the summer months. Of course, no visit to the Lake District National Park is complete without a boat cruise on one of its famous lakes, where you can discover the stunning natural landscapes on a cruise along Lake Windermere, Derwentwater, or, our favourite, Ullswater, all within a short drive of Howbeck Cottage.
