Visit England 4 Star.. Bracken Howe enjoys the most glorious views from Grisedale Pike to the Skiddaw range, with glimpses of Bassenthwaite Lake from its elevated position in the village of Portinscale. This semi detached house has views from most rooms and was completely renovated and refurbished to an extremely high standard. The level of facilities and equipment and the quality of furnishings will appeal to the most discerning guests. Portinscale lies on the northern edge of Derwentwater. It has a pub, restaurant, tea rooms and two marinas and is within walking distance of Keswick, which has a wealth of amenities and tourist attractions. There are fabulous walks on the fells around Portinscale, mountain bike trails in Whinlatter forest and sailing on Derwentwater and Bassenthwaite Lakes. The more adventurous may try lake swimming, paddle boarding or rock climbing. The view point for the famous Bassenthwaite Ospreys is within three miles of Bracken Howe (currently closed for Covid reasons) although the Dodd Wood walking trails, with fabulous views, and Old Sawmill Tearoom are open.

Unlike the weather ,Bracken Howe was a warm cosy time which promised a lot and delivered on it all ! All the family enjoyed their stay and want to return so (they hope)they can enjoy the garden and the stunning views .Lots of wonderful walks from the door even if they were all done in the pouring rain. We hope next time we can all be together to enjoy this wonderful place. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Everything at Bracken Howe was perfect and we really appreciated the extra care shown to deal with Covid-19. (Some of us were in a higher risk category but this was not known to the owners.) It was so reassuring to know the property was empty for a week before we arrived. Some may not see this as important but we really appreciated the one week on one week off policy which means a substantial loss of income for the owners in the name of safety. The property was also spotlessly clean with cleaning materials and sanitizers provided. Everything we could have wanted (pre-covid) was laid on too including a goody bowl and milk in the fridge. The weather was wet much of our stay (not that we complained as we love the Lakes all weathers) and the owners kindly offered us a free extra night as the day we were due to leave was fine. Unfortunately we were not able to take up the very generous offer. Other customers may not benefit in the same way, of course, but it does show the mind-set of the owners is to ensure their customers have a good holiday at Bracken Howe.
