Stable Barn - Sleeps 5 - Superb quality barn conversion with all modern amenities, furnished and decorated to a very high standard with exposed beams and stone walls. Stunning views down to Mungrisdale and Caldbeck Fells, large open plan lounge kitchen, boiler/store room ideal for drying out walking clothes etc. Master bedroom with king size bed and en-suite bathroom with shower over bath, toilet and basin, plus a family room with double and single bed, also shower room with toilet and basin. Services, oil fired central heating, all fuel and power included in rent. WiFi internet access, flat screen digital TV/DVD, video player, dishwasher, microwave, fridge freezer. You will have the run of the large gardens at Near Howe with many secluded seating areas.
Near Howe offers an ideal, quiet and tranquil self-catering cottage retreat located in the heart of the Cumbrian countryside. Our seven tastefully converted high-quality self-catering cottages, provide the ideal answer if you are looking for that quiet, away from it all self-catering cottage holiday in the Lake District. There are great views in every direction and lots of spectacular walks to savour. A True Oasis of Peace and Tranquillity. Pets and children welcome.
Stable Barn occupies a stunning elevated position on a tree lined hill, giving it glorious 360 degree views out over arguably some of the most delightful countryside in the Lake District National Park. Near Howe enjoys a secluded location, but is within very easy reach of the A66, midway between the lovely Cumbrian market towns of Penrith and Keswick. 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. 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.
