There is always a warm welcome at Howe View, and Linda will provide you with whatever you require for breakfast, full English or continental. Packed lunches may be provided on request. Also while you are here feel free to take advantage of the proprietors' extensive local knowledge of the surrounding area. Both have always lived in the Keswick area and have their finger on the pulse for whatever you might want to do.

Howe View provides real luxury accommodation, in the heart of the English Lakes. It has two double bedrooms, both are beautifully decorated with real quality and style. The layout of the rooms is superb and they are of course both en-suites. They have tremendous view across the valley, looking towards Keswick and beyond, where you can can see the sun rise from behind Latrigg which lies on the north-east edge of Keswick and is part of the Skiddaw massif range, the summit of which is “Skiddaw” the third highest peak in the Lake District at 3,200ft. The Breakfast Room at Howe View has brilliant views across the valley with the exterior of the breakfast room being nearly all glass.

Braithwaite has a wonderful setting amidst the Lake District fells. There a plenty of short walks around the village and surrounding area. On the quiet country roads you can walk through Braithwaite towards Newlands and take the road to the Swinside Inn and follow the road round into the Newlands Valley and back to Braithwaite. This is a walk with no serious climbs and plenty of scenery and will take about an hour.

It it also possible to walk one of the local fell running courses the “Coledale Horseshoe” this involves a fair amount of climbing and takes in Grisedale Pike, Eel Crags, and Barrow before returning back to Braithwaite approx distance 6 miles.

Whinlatter Forest Centre is also close by and contains many trails through the woodland and also has an adventure centre for the kids. There is also the Osprey Centre here. The Whinlatter Forest is well worth the visit. There are also some spectacular views to be had from Lords Seat over Bassenthwaite Lake to the Solway beyond.
