Communal rooms are welcoming and fascinating! The grounds and location are stunning and the house full of charm and character. My room had all the facilities you would expect from a modern B&B, while maintaining the character of the rest of the house. The view of Skiddaw from the bed is an excellent way to start the day, while the bath was a great way to relax (and cool off in a heatwave!) after a day out walking. 😀

Powe House location was ideal, a short drive away from Whinlatter forest and 20 mins walk to Keswick with easy access to hiking trails such as Catbells. The place has only a few rooms which means it is quiet. The room was comfortable and had a bath. On site parking is a nice plus. Breakfast was included and was filling. Andrew, the owner, has also good tips about the area.

It would be nice to have a minifridge in the room. To be fair there is a shared one in the corridor, but I had packed a lot of snack and drinks. I think the price was fair since it included breakfast but I am always surprised how the Lake District prices are on the higher end especially on weekdays outside of school holidays.

We really enjoyed it there and would happily stay again.

Breakfast was lovely. A choice of different cereals and fruit and yogurt. A cooked breakfast was also available. The guest house was about a mile from Keswick. The bedroom was spotlessly clean and very spacious. Thankfully, it was quiet at night. The hosts were lovely. Very charming. There is a nice pub called the Farmer’s Arms a couple of minutes walk from Powe House which is worth visiting. It is best to book in advance.

The only thing I didn’t like was the high water pressure in the shower. This couldn’t be adjusted and the water almost stung when you stood under it. I had no other issues.
