About the host

Hosted by Helen Metcalfe

Host profile image
Boden Howe was purchased by my parents in 1961 and where I lived until 1977; my parents continued to live there until 2007 and the property has subsequently proved to be a popular choice for holidaymakers ever since. Boden Howe is one of four terraced houses originally built and occupied by my forebears.

Why they chose this property

Rather than relinquish Boden Howe in 2010 we lovingly refurbished the property and are passionate about providing guests with everything they require for a memorable holiday in Ambleside.

What makes this property unique

Boden Howe is located in an unrivalled location overhanging the village and boasting exceptional views of the surrounding fells. There is no vehicular access to the property but this adds to the unique tranquility of the house. Private parking is provided for three vehicles (two may be garaged) a matter of yards away with adequate additional space for bikes, etc.
A well maintained sloping garden includes an attractive patio area with a glorious westerly aspect.
Perhaps the jewel in the crown is the complimentary leisure pass membership to The Salutation Hotel and Spa which is a cherished facility for many returning families.
