About Us at Howe Keld Bed and Breakfast Guest House
Howe Keld is a top rated Guest House close to the centre of Keswick located in the picturesque Lake District National Park. We have been given many performance awards including "AA National Breakfast" (read more HERE), 4 Star accomodation awards from Enjoy England and AA, we are also highly listed in Alistair Sawdays "Special Places to Stay" which requires an exeptional standard throughout the accomodation to become included.
Run by David and Valerie Fisher, they and their family know what they like when it comes to choosing a place to stay when on holiday. They bring that concept fully into the running and presentation of Howe Keld.
In a previous life, David worked for two ‘hotels of the year’ – Sharrow Bay on Ullswater and Gravetye Manor. He then spent many years managing restaurants for ‘Cranks’, the leading vegetarian chain in London. Valerie trained as a home economist, taught food and nutrition and co-authored two of ‘Cranks’ vegetarian cookery books.
"We are both outdoor types and love fell walking and cycling. . . when we have the time!"
“At one stage two years after we got married we packed in our jobs and took six months to cycle round France. We then backpacked from Lake Geneva through the French Alps to Nice,” says Valerie. “It was a fantastic experience.”
"Our love of the mountains (and happy memories of childhood holidays in the Lakes) brought us to the Lake District 15 years ago and we bought Howe Keld three years later. Unfortunately (or fortunately from the guests’ point of view!) our ongoing commitment to Howe Keld and to ensuring that our guests have a wonderful stay means that we don’t take to the fells as often as we would like!"
"Still, there is the consolation we do get tremendous satisfaction from our work."
Howe Keld is proud to incorporate an environment policy which can be read HERE. You can also Read our Access Statement HERE
