"This is our 5th stay at the pheasant Inn and will be our last! Previous visits have always drawn us back but this time, rude greeting, continued throughout dinner. Won’t go back"

"Clean nicely proportioned room, comfy bed, nice cotton bedding, soft towels. Good shower with lovely hot water. We had a delicious evening meal. Breakfast was really good too. Good service. All cooked to order. Our dog was made very welcome. We recommend without hesitation. "

"Rooms require some repainting and stairwell is very dull and dark with most windows needing repair and repainting. The cocktails were fantastic though. As the restaurant closes early it would be nice to have cheese and biscuits available in the bar area in the evening "

"The breakfast menu was really good , The staff were all amazing apart from one in the last couple of mornings at breakfast. Plenty of lovely sitting areas throughout the hotel The room we had was lovely and comfortable, due to the revamping of the hotel its not as clean at it could be. But we had an amazing four days We will be going back. "

"This is a wonderful property with lots of historic charm and stunning scenery right on the doorstep! I stayed 4 nights and Karen really looked after me; delicious cooked breakfast each morning and a newly lit fire in the evenings to sit beside. She gave me a tour of her gorgeous garden and introduced me to her feathered friends; the chickens, cockerel and pheasant as well as her lovely dogs. Her knowledge of the house and area is really insightful and Karen was more than happy to advise where needed. Powter Howe is easy to find, has plenty of space for parking, and offers fantastic views facing the Skiddaws and Barf behind it. There is also a lovely short walk from the house and through woodland to Bassenthwaite Lake. Although the A66 can be heard it doesn’t detract from the beauty of the place. I would definitely recommend a relaxing stay at Powter Howe and hope to return again very soon myself. Thank you Karen, for making me feel so welcome and at home."

"Loved the shower and bath combo. The lady on reception was very nice and knew the area well. Thank you for the flower petals on the bed! Saturday morning breakfast staff were great. "

"Beautiful spot well situated for Keswick and Cockermouth. Near a busy road which makes access convenient but still feels quiet. Our room was spacious and well appointed with a comfortable bed. Felt like a lovely cosy retreat to come back to after a day out walking in the wind and rain. Breakfast was well organised, very tasty and there was a good amount of choice on offer. Service was very quick but never felt hurried or rushed. Peter and Katie were great hosts and had lots of tips and recommendations. Got in contact with us quickly when we left an item behind after checking out. "

"Great location wonderful host excellent breakfast "
