What a fantastic cottage! We loved it and would definitely return. It has a really cosy feel to it, whilst also being big enough for a large group. We were on a family weekend and the separate snug and lounge were great for the grandparents to get a bit of peace and quiet! Great location as well, lovely and peaceful but close enough to attractions/Read morewalks etc. Hide

Howgate Foot is an exceptional home away from home, and the photos do not do the property justice. It is magnificent. The open-plan kitchen/dining area makes for an excellent entertaining space and the lounge and snug provide a comfortable place to relax. The bedrooms are spacious and dressed in high quality linens. It might be hard to beleive thatRead more the bathrooms are sublime and maybe even the highlight for us. The house is well located for peaceful walks and close enough to local ameneties. Hide

High-specification holiday cottage in a remote but beautiful part of the Lake District. Plenty of nearby walks and a short drive to Haweswater. Nearest pub is the community run Mardale Inn at Bampton, which though tiny, served excellent beer and food ( just over a mile walk but vertically challenging! )

Eight friends stayed at Howgate Foot in Askham from 15th June for one week. It was an absolutely stunning holiday home and surrounding area.
