Welcome to Crow How Country Guest House

Nestling in a stunning rural setting in the historic Rydal Valley amidst the fells, this grand Victorian building was built as a farm house in 1848 from the stones of ancient Rydal Hall, before being converted into a Country Guest House in the early 1930's. Today it has been sympathetically renovated to provide you with a perfect base to explore the beautiful Lake District, providing Ambleside Bed & Breakfast and evening meals by arrangement.

There are few better sited country houses in the area, located in two acres of private woodland gardens we are surrounded by the magnificent Fairfield Horseshoe and Loughrigg Fell, with splendid views out towards the fields of Rydal Valley to the front of the house. Set peacefully away from the road we are half a mile from Ambleside and ten minutes drive from Grasmere.

Located in the heart of the Lake District, we are in a peaceful and secluded position, surrounded by mountains and fells but only 10 minutes walk away from Ambleside with its shops, cafes and restaurants. Grasmere is only 10 minutes drive away, with Keswick a further 10 minutes away. Windermere, Kendal , Coniston and Hawkshead are also easily accessed within half an hour. Waterhead is only 20 minutes walk away where you can catch frequent boat trips to Bowness and Lakeside, where the Aquarium is situated. We have complete timetables for both the boats and for buses.

Surrounded by fells and mountains and with three beautiful lakes virtually on your doorstep you are spoilt for choice with walks and hikes to suit all abilities.

We are ideally located for all the major mountains and walks with good walking books and leaflets to help you in your choice of walk and we have good undercover storage facilities for Mountain Bikes. There are five golf courses within half an hour drive, from the long and demanding Keswick Golf Course to the tight and tricky Windermere Golf Course.

Unfortunately we are not blessed with sunshine all the time, but we have excellent drying facilities to make sure that your clothes and boots are fully dried for the next day's activities.
