Excellent location, perfect for our trip into Grasmere. Owners were super helpful and really helped us out on check out and with a great restaurant recommendation on Friday night. Breakfast was hearty, our room felt like it had just been renovated so was smart and clean. We really liked the working farm next door and of course it comes with breathtaking views!

Crowe Howe is a beautiful, traditional property in a quite location but close enough to Ambleside to walk and enjoy the shops and restaurants there.
