Howtown Hotel is a hotel in Howtown, Cumbria, England, located near the southern shore of the Ullswater lake.[1] Although it won the César Award for Best Hotel in 1991 by The Good Hotel Guide,[2] Lonely Planet describes the hotel as "bewitchingly backwards" with early 20th century decor.[3] As of 2001, the hotel contained 10 double rooms, 2 single rooms and 4 self-catering cottages. It has been run by four generations of the Baldry family since it opened in 1903.
