BrackenHowe is a fantastic family holiday home, the owner was very welcoming and explained everything we needed to know regarding the property. After all the times we have booked via cottages.com this was the most welcome we have felt. The rooms are ample sized to accommodate families, the kitchen is well equipped. The location is excellent, very quiet and relaxed, Keswick is close by within easy walking distance as are the fells for exploring. Overall I would highly recommended BrackenHowe for your holiday.
