Just come back from a lovely week in Little Howe and we have already booked for next New Year. The property is really cozy. There was ample parking- the entrance from the street is tight but easier from the back. Beds comfy. Good outdoor space. Nice touches like Christmas Trees.

This property was perfect, one of the nicest cottages we have stayed in and the photos on the site don't do it justice. It doesn't look that big from the outside but it was huge inside, with 3 bedrooms.

This property has recently been updated. So the decor is better. The internal doors nicer. A new dining suite. The new pictures show lovely views of the lake district. The bed in the master room is now larger and more comfortable. Outside the gardens have had a makeover and there is now better parking.

Absolutely brilliant place . Close to the shops , the park and the lake . Inside had all the facilities you would expect (and more) and was spotless . The parking is a huge bonus. We booked again for next year while we were there. Couldn't recommend it enough.
