Howtown Hotel
Howtown Hotel is a hotel in Howtown, Cumbria, England, located near the southern shore of the Ullswater lake.

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.

Howtown
Howtown is a hamlet in Cumbria, England, situated at a small harbour on the east shore of Ullswater in the Lake District. It lies within the civil parish of Martindale.
Howtown is about three and a half miles from Pooley Bridge and is best reached by water. The Ullswater 'Steamers' regularly stop there on their way from Glenridding at the southern end of Ullswater to Pooley Bridge at the northern end of the lake.
The name Howtown means "farmstead on the hill". The place name is from the Old Norse word haugr, meaning "hill" or "mound", and the Old English word tūn, meaning "town". It contains the Howtown Hotel, Outward Bound Centre and Waternook Lakeside Accommodation. Howtown was founded by the How (or Howe) family.
In June 2024, Howtown also became the name of a popular YouTube Channel.
