Accommodation and Facilities for Grisedale View, Howe Top, Howe End in Cumbria - Lake District, England

History of Near Howe

Near Howe occupies a stunning elevated position on a tree lined knoll, giving it glorious views out over arguably some of the most delightful countryside in the Lake District National Park. Originally built as a farmstead about 180 years ago, Near Howe remained the farmhouse to the surrounding farm land until the end of the 1960s when it was converted to a guest house. Over the ensuing years, the former farm buildings which surrounded the delightful open courtyard, have been skilfully converted to form five spacious and uniquely appointed self catering holiday cottages, which retain much of their original charm and character. Set amid carefully landscaped, yet easily maintained gardens and grounds, there is ample car parking and space for visitors to relax in a setting second to none for its peace and tranquillity.

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 town of Penrith and Keswick-on-Derwentwater - The Queen of The Lakes. 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. Near Howe was rescued from possible terminal decline by the previous owners in 1969 and immediately set about the refurbishment of the guest house, providing the en suite facilities and forming delightful family accommodation. They also installed the present driveway and over the ensuing years steadily converted the farm buildings into individual self catering cottages.

The Present Owners

The present owners Jill and Steve Woolley have recently taken over, and are already providing that special friendly atmosphere that guests at Near Howe have been used to for so many years. The complex consists of 5 self-catering properties, Saddleback Barn is the largest - sleeping up to 7, Stable Barn sleeps up to 5 and Howe, Top, Howe Enad and Grisedale View all sleep up to 4. There is also 4 Star B&B guest accommodation in the main house comprising of two family rooms sleeping 4 and 3 people, a twin and two double bedrooms. 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.
