Howe Keld Accommodation Information
Howe Keld offers a variety of en suite bedrooms, all designed, decorated and equipped to the highest of standards. Single, double, twin or family rooms are available. All have 2000 pocket-sprung beds and flat screen TVs, many of which are Freesat and broadcast HD pictures. Most bedrooms are spacious enough to have a seating area and have a delightful contemporary feel. Some have particularly fine views. A beautiful Junior Suite is the latest addition and a ground floor room is now wheelchair accessible.
Televisions - of course we know that you don't come to the Lake District to watch TV! However how many times have you been away and decided to switch on only to be disappointed by the picture quality and screen size?
In mountainous areas like the Lake District the terrestrial Freeview signal is often compromised. We have invested heavily to deliver a satellite signal to all double rooms. This means you can listen to and watch well over 160 TV and radio channels ( if you feel so inclined!) including High Definition programmes - all broadcast by Freesat. Every double bedroom has a 32" LCD Panasonic as a minimum. Many have 37" LED flatscreens and we have just installed a whopping 42" Panasonic Plasma screen in the Junior Suite. So no need to view TV through a magnifying glass!

The bedrooms are over three floors. Two ground floor rooms are very popular with one adapted for wheelchair use. Much of the furniture is the creation of local craftsman Danny Frost, using local, naturally felled hardwoods. Most bathrooms have been completely renewed with constant pressure showers, halogen lighting and green slate floors.
The 4 chalet bedrooms have been given a Cumbrian dialect name to complement the Howe Keld name and its Norse origins. Many of the place names around Keswick are derived from the Norse language. The name of your room could serve as a useful introduction to a local dialect that goes back to its Norse beginnings after settlers arrived from the north many centuries ago.
