An enchanting self-catering property “Just for Two”
This is a unique opportunity to stay in a perfect little cottage for two which is completely separate from the main house. The two properties stand in an acre of ground with a beck and small bridge at the entrance in idyllic countryside boasting peace and tranquility. The holiday cottage was once a former workshop for Oak Swill Basket Making, which has been a traditional Lake District craft for hundreds of years. It has now been fully restored and has made a delightful holiday home with oak beams, slate floors with rugs and a Woodburning stove. Howe Foot cottage really is a charming hidden gem and just perfect for a special break.

After spending the winter extending our cottage to include a kitchen we are now open and ready to invite new and existing guests to stay in our cottage. The kitchen has a brand new Rayburn and a free standing mini oven for times when it is too hot for the Rayburn (if you can bear to be without the comfort!!!) There is also a washing machine and fridge all housed in a beautiful beamed room with lots of interesting features and great views out of the windows over the garden and surrounding fields. We feel that the kitchen has transformed this cottage and really has made Howe Foot an even more “Special Place to Stay”
