From a gentle countryside ramble to a challenging hike up Skiddaw, there really is something for everyone. Visit Mirehouse, a grand house and gardens on the shores of the lake with an open-air theatre, or take a trip around the lake.
Reviews
"We recently returned from an idyllic family weekend at How End. The house is superb; spacious, comfortable, and furnished to a very high standard. Equipped with everything you would need for the perfect family break. It is set in stunning countryside, with amazing views of Braithwaite lake and surrounding hills. We were there in April and were delighted by the new born lambs, playing in the fields in the front of the house. Braithwaite is a picturesque village, with great places to eat and drink. It is very close to Keswick, and ideally located to explore the rest of the lake district. We cannot recommend it highly enough. We will definitely be returning!!"
"really enjoyed our stay at How End over New Year. The house is well maintained, has plenty of space and is really warm and comfortable. The views are absolutely superb, and the walking is great and there are also some wonderful pubs and restaurants within easy walking distance."
"great space, had and amazing 5 days enjoying the area and the house. perfect kitching cook/chill and dine in, no oven which was a shame. Sitting room is fab and the whole place is nice and spacious. totally recommend it, we were a group of guys 28-40 for few days with the wives just hanging out and enjoy the area etc."
"When we picked up the keys for the house the staff was not very friendly. But we were very pleased when we arrived at the very nice house. We liked the space and the fantastic view from the living room. We would suggest to add a tumble dryer to the house because it is always a bit wet in the Lake District and the humidity I the house is quite high. Some of the showers in the house should be made more flexible."
"A splendid setting looking out eastwards across the valley towards Skiddaw. The very neat gardens with outside furniture were a pleasure to sit in and relax after a day's sight-seeing. The rooms are very pleasant and well equipped; the Wi-Fi was an extra bonus. There was plenty of crockery, cutlery and kitchen kit for eight adults. A maintenance man came very promptly and dealt with two minor plumbing issues. The access gate into the lane is a little tricky, and the damaged cattle grid doesn't help also. Mt only real negative is the provision of 13.5 tog duvets in the middle of June did not make for comfortable sleeping. I know enough about Lake District weather and climate to appreciate the temperature regime in winter is very much colder, but some lighter weight bedding would have been much appreciated"
"Great week weather was kind to us for a change,house was lovely, everything it says in the brochure. Our only criticism would be not enough fridge space for 7 people and as we cook proper meals every evening felt the dishes were not larger enough. Will be booking again though."
"how end is a lovely, well furnished extremely well equipped house with lots of space . it is in a perfect location for exploring this area of the lake district and the views from the first floor sitting room are fantastic. my only criticism would be that it is not tat far from a busy road and so road noise would be very intrusive if sitting out in the summer. luckily, or unluckily, in our week in may half term, it was not warm enough to sit out for a cuppa and there is no road noise audible form inside."
"Very comfortable & warm. Recommend the following additions:- toilet brushes, a few more coat hangers, mirror and bedside lamps in upper bedroom. Also found the plastic kitchen utensils rather feeble; metal ones would be an improvement Hardly needed cars all the week;walks and pubs within easy reach. A good log supplier at the nearby farm. Keswick good for Christmas shopping when the mist is down!"
