New for 2022, Cherry How is the beautiful self-contained cottage in the grounds of Broad How that was previously the home of the caretakers of Broad How, which from Easter 2022 will be available to book either alongside the main house or separately

Broad How has been providing unforgettable getaways for large groups for 20 years with a high percentage of returning customers. Special occasions, family get-togethers, friends re-uniting, groups of fell-walkers... whatever the make-up of your party or reason for your holiday, we feel confident that we can accommodate you in style.

The house has 7 bedrooms, 3 bath/shower rooms, 3 sitting rooms (with 8 sofas), and a huge kitchen with a 16-seater table. It's surprisingly cosy for such a large house - centrally heated and part double-glazed, there's an amazing open fire (with a window over the mantelpiece) and an unlimited supply of wood and coal.

If your party is even bigger, you can book Cherry How too, with its own modernised kitchen, living room with open fire, and two bedrooms (1 double and 1 twin). This cottage can also be booked separately.

It has all the facilities you would expect from a 4-star property, plus a few you might not. Luxurious Egyptian cotton sheets, FreeSat, Blu-Ray, PS3, a range of toys and games for all ages, hundreds of books, maps and guides, a full-sized pool table and 2 pianos, one of which plays itself! Free full fibre WiFi internet access and phone calls to other landlines are also included. Cherry How has a beautiful new OLED TV too, as well as a separate WiFi system, and its own supply of games.

The garden's not bad either! There is an acre of garden with lawns, shrubs, chairs, benches, swings and a play area for younger children. So, if you’re looking for somewhere special, somewhere you can enjoy with family and friends, a place where you can kick back, unwind and relax, in a picture perfect setting, then this superbly equipped, charming Lakeland house might just be your ideal location. Cherry How has its own surprisingly extensive garden too.
