Howbeck Cottage

Caldbeck Fells, North West England

Howbeck Cottage
Tucked into the Caldbeck Fells, Howbeck Cottage is a peaceful base for exploring this quieter corner of Cumbria. It sleeps four, making it a good fit for a small family or two couples wanting fell walks and wide-open views on the doorstep.

Wildlife and heritage fans are well catered for, with Threlkeld Quarry & Mining Museum, Knox Wood Wildlife Centre and Lake District Wildlife Park all within around nine miles. Dalston railway station is roughly 7.7 miles off if you're arriving by train, and EV charging is available nearby for those driving up in an electric car. It's a proper rural retreat, ideal for anyone keen to slow down and make the most of the fells.
