My second visit but this time I stayed with my wife in one of the three self-catering cottages available. Excellent location for access to walking and hill climbing.

We had a room with shared facilities, but the whole place was spotlessly... more

Stayed at Near Howe in Feb 2008. Located in a commanding position away from everything. Rooms clean and well presented. Welcome was genuine. Good breakfast. Website does it justice. Overall, excellent location to explore this part of the Lakes. The Mill Inn in Mungrisdale does super meals. more

Having stayed at many different Self Catering properties around the UK, this was the best. Saddleback barn was spacious, nicely furnished and clean. Everything worked, even the bulb that blew prior to our arrival was changed by the owner, despite it being a Sunday afternoon. more
