From the minute we arrived we were made to feel so welcome, we were shown to our room which was spacious and spotlessly clean, we were given our own front door key which was great. Over the road from the Howes is the waterfalls and park which came in so handy as we had taken the dog. After a great... More

Weve just come back from an excellent 3 nights at The Howes. It was the 1st time weve gone away with the dog and she loved it. Really enjoyed having breakfast in our own room, that was a nice touch. Bed was really comfortable and we both slept like logs. Went on a couple of walks and always somewhere to... More

Like most of the other reviewers Mike and Gill were lovely. The room itself is what you would expect for the price,clean,tidy and a bit old fashioned. We stayed in room 3 which has an shower en suite which I think we could of done with a bath after all the walking. The breakfast was served actually in your room,the... More

When we arrived Mike was there to welcome us, give us our keys, told us how to order breakfast and... More

We were recommended by friends several years ago and have found Mike and Gill nothing but friendly and very accommodating. They always ask for an arrival time so they can be there to... More

I booked with The Howes weeks before and sent £70 as deposit, but I should have taken warning from the telephone conversation with the lady. She asked me for my phone number, after I had arranged when we were going to stay, which I gave her. She said they would send me confirmation via email (and not by post as... More

We booked accomodation at the Howes in July this year mainly because the web site said that dogs were welcome. We checked with the owners before arrival that we could bring our dog and his travel cage. When we arrived we were told that the dog could not be left in the room when we went out for dinner -... More
