At Powter Howe, guests consistently praise the welcoming host, characterful Tudor-era house, peaceful setting near Bassenthwaite Lake, and hearty homemade breakfasts, with many noting clean, comfortable rooms, charming gardens, and convenient access to Keswick and local walks.
A few mention its quiet, slightly remote location and that the building’s age brings creaky or uneven floors; one review reported issues like a squeaky bed or missing amenities. On-site parking, a cosy guest sitting room with an open fire, reliable Wi-Fi, and wide views of the lake and fells are frequently appreciated. Expect a warm, homely stay with historic charm and tranquility.

Rooms are comfortable and full of historic character, with some spacious layouts, scenic views, and generally reliable Wi-Fi; the age of the building brings quirks like creaky or uneven floors and, in places, no TVs.
