"We could not have asked for more. Rooms immaculate. Food superb. Service fantastic. We have enjoyed a wonderful and relaxing weekend. Will recommend to friends and family. Thanks to everyone."

Welcome to The Howbeck guest house, one of Windermere's top luxury boutique places to stay. Our AA 5 star rating is recognition of our excellent customer service, as well as our superb levels of comfort. We pride ourselves on providing a delightful retreat where the warmth and friendliness of the Howbeck team are always apparent. Our aim is to provide the kind of service you would only expect in some of the top luxury Windermere & Lake District hotels. From the moment you arrive you will be made to feel welcome, to feel at home, leading one delighted guest to describe the Howbeck as "once discovered, never forgotten".

Our aim is to ensure that your visit to the Lake District, Cumbria is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible; after all, we want you to come back. Each of the eleven spacious rooms & suites has been designed with comfort and style in mind, leaving you feeling calm and relaxed and ready to explore Windermere and the surrounding area. Bowness on Windermere and the shores of Lake Windermere, with its breathtaking scenery, are just a five minute stroll from the Howbeck, while the lakes and mountains of the Lake District National Park are also easily accessible.

Graded a 5 Star Guest House by the AA and listed in their Top 500 places to stay, the Howbeck's most recent award is the AA Breakfast Award, recognition of the quality of the local ingredients used to give you the perfect start to each day. Each room has superb en-suite facilities, including cosy towelling bathrobes and hairdryers. There is also a DVD/CD player in every room, 8 channel satellite TV & wireless broadband, so you don't even have to go out! Although being in the heart of the Lake District, it would be a travesty to miss its dramatic scenery and beautiful landscapes, despite the temptation of the luxury and comfort of the Howbeck.
