Near Howe
Near Howe is a collection of wonderful holiday cottages set in the scenic Mungrisdale area of The Lake District National Park, just outside of Troutbeck. Near Howe was once a working farm dating back to the 1800's, perfectly placed with spectacular scenery from every angle. The panoramic views are a sight to behold, offering the perfect viewpoint of the surrounding mountains, including Saddleback, Sharp Edge and beyond. The old farm buildings surrounding the charming open courtyard have been expertly transformed into seven generously sized, individually designed self-catering holiday cottages, preserving much of their original appeal and character. Each cottage on the grounds offers guests fully-fitted kitchens and bathrooms, access to the shared gardens, shared laundry facilities and free parking for 15 vehicles, along with EV charge points. Furry friends can enjoy the free to use fenced field, ideal for fun and games in the sunshine. Mungrisdale village is 1.5 miles away, with a pub and weather dependent tea shop. Keswick, Penrith, Pooley Bridge all within a 20-minute drive. The cottages overlook Blencathra and Souther Fell, which are walkable from the cottages and on the Coast to Coast Cycle route. Troutbeck, near Penrith in Cumbria, boasts a long history deeply connected to its Lake District setting. The village's origins trace back to Norse times, evident in its name, which derives from Old Norse—"Trout" for the fish and "Beck" for stream, reflecting the area's abundant trout-filled waterways. Historically, Troutbeck was a rural farming village, with its economy heavily dependent on sheep farming and agriculture. Its rugged landscape and proximity to key mountain passes made it a vital stop for traders and travellers throughout the centuries. The village’s location in the Lake District turned it into a favoured destination for walkers and tourists, exploring the surrounding fells and lakes. Over time, Troutbeck evolved from an agricultural centre to a tourist haven, renowned for its scenic beauty. Historic inns, like the Troutbeck Inn, have long been central to the village’s tradition of hospitality, offering rest to travellers visiting local peaks such as Blencathra and Helvellyn. Despite its growth, Troutbeck retains its peaceful, picturesque charm, blending its agricultural heritage with its role as a serene retreat in the Lakes.
Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.
