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 over 3 floors including the ground. 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 all 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.
Most of the superior and Bay window rooms have a front aspect looking towards the Western fells. The luxury and two other superior rooms look back towards Keswick - most of those look up towards Latrigg and even Blencathra in the distance.
Howe Keld occupies a great town location. The quieter side is the front but unless you are particularly sensitive to noise, night time disturbance is minimal whichever room you occupy.
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, 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 flat screens 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!
All bedrooms have tea and coffee making facilities, filtered water, electric towel rails, thermostatically controlled central heating radiators, boot trays, large mirrors, hair driers and radio alarm clocks.
An iron and ironing board can be set up downstairs for the use of our guests should they wish (regretfully not in the bedrooms).
Should you wish we can change the bedding to non allergenic Hollowfibre, blankets or different duvets.

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.
