Howgills House: common questions

Details specific to this property, answered before you enquire.

How many people does Howgills House sleep?

Howgills House sleeps 14 to 28 guests across 12 bedrooms. Your booking is for your group only — the listing confirms exactly what is included, and whole-property exclusive use can be confirmed with the owner when you enquire.
