Howe Keld

In 2008 Howe Keld was given a Gold award at 4 star guest accommodation level by Visit Britain. So far it is the only one in Keswick to have achieved this status and follows a refurbishment and extension that resulted in contemporary style bed and breakfast accommodation in a great location halfway between the town of Keswick and the shores of Lake Derwentwater-both are within a few minutes walk so once the car is parked all facilities are easily accessible by foot. Most of the bedrooms and public rooms have been enlarged and modernised. Although one or two bedrooms remain smaller in size the others are spacious with stunning curtains and locally made wooden furniture, great beds and fine egyptian 300 count sheets and duvet covers. Duvets and top pillows are goosedown. Many rooms have views of the fells either directly or above the picturesque northern town of Keswick. The breakfast choice far surpasses most people 's expectations and is regularly complimented! Much use is made of local, organic and fair trade produce. Cars can be parked either in the limited hotel car park, on the quiet road in front ( there is free parking in The Heads) or in the town car park opposite (free overnight parking) .
