Is Bracken Howe Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families

The snug functions as a dedicated entertainment space with PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Wii consoles plus extensive game collections. Every bedroom has a 32-inch Smart TV with Netflix. The hot tub proved popular with younger guests. The garden provides outdoor space. Toys and games are provided throughout. The property works well for ages 11 upwards based on guest feedback. Younger children would need close supervision around the decking steps.

For Couples

Bracken Howe offers too much space for couples alone. The property sleeps ten and works best for larger groups. Two four-poster king-size beds with en-suites provide romantic sleeping arrangements within a group booking. The hot tub and quiet location suit relaxation. However, couples would find smaller Lake District properties more appropriate and better value. This house really needs a full group to justify the space and facilities available.

Pet Friendly

Bracken Howe does not accept pets. The property operates a strict no-pets policy for all bookings. If you're travelling with dogs, you'll need to find alternative Lake District accommodation. Many other properties in Ambleside welcome pets. The owners maintain this policy consistently. No exceptions are made regardless of pet size or behaviour. Consider this carefully before enquiring about availability for your group.
