New to our website is the FAQ page. We have put together what we feel are the most common general questions that we are asked. Though many of these questions can be answered from the website, this page brings them together for easier access. For questions about cancellations and deposits please see the Terms & Conditions page.

Are there any walks we can do from the hotel? Yes, we have walking guides in the bedroom folders detailing walks from the hotel front door. There are other numerous walks available from books from our lounge or from local book and climbing shops.

What time is breakfast? Breakfast is served between 8:30 and 9:00am. Please sit at the table with your room number displayed. Please see our Dining section for more detailed information.

Can I bring my dog? I am afraid that we no longer accept dogs in the hotel. You are quite welcome to bring your dog as long as it stays in the car when you are in the hotel.

Do you accept Children? We do not accept Children under the age of 12.

What does 'How' mean? How simply means a small hill or hummock. When Crow How was first built it was spelt 'howe', but somewhere along the line the 'e' was knocked off. There is a small hummock opposite the house which used to be called Crow Wood, this being what the house was named after.

Do you have Internet access? Along with our guest lounges we have wifi access in both our Premier Rooms and Rooms 2, 3 & 9. Currently there is no computer available for guest use.

Do you have storage for Push Bikes or Motorbikes? We have a secure garage which we will happily store bikes and motorbikes in. Simply ask at reception to gain access.
