About Howe Keld

Howe Keld sits on Heads Road, overlooking the open green space of Hope Park and within a flat, five-minute walk of both Keswick's town centre and the shore of Derwentwater. It has built a strong reputation over the years for combining a genuinely warm, family-run welcome with a standard of decor and finish that outpaces many small hotels, let alone other bed and breakfasts in the area.

The twelve bedrooms are bright and contemporary, with good bathrooms and thoughtful extra touches, and breakfast is taken seriously here, with a menu that goes well beyond the standard cooked option to include local and homemade choices. The owners are also a reliable source of walking advice, having clearly spent plenty of time on the surrounding fells themselves.

Its position makes it equally suited to a car-free stay, given the level walk into town, or as a base for driving out to the wider national park, with off-road parking available for guests who do bring a car.
