Girls weekend

This house is just amazing, we felt like extras in Bridgerton! It was clean, comfortable everything we wanted was there, hot tub area really cute and private, easy to find with good parking for our party of 13. Just around the corner from train/buses/taxis. We ate at a beautiful greek restaurant but the facilities in the house were also of a standard we prepared a beautiful morning brunch! Communication from the owners was superb, quick helpful replies, we would definitely recommend staying here and look forward to booking it again in the future,

80th birthday family get together

all the family loved the house and it was the best and a good time was had by all. The location was perfect for Windermere shops and bars and Bowness was only a short drive or a 20 minute walk which suited us all. It was the best holiday house/cottage we have stayed at.

Terrific Terrace

Thirteen of us had a fantastic time here to celebrate Mum and Dad’s Diamond Wedding Anniversary. The house is amazing… so much space, beautifully decorated…. Lots of equipment. Everything we needed. The location couldn’t be better for Windermere. So close to Booths, the train station, Crafty Baa, great pubs, lovely walks. Also, the weather was kind to us. Thank you for having us. X

Great location and house

We stayed at 1 The Terrace to host a hen do and it was the perfect house for a wholesome hen do for 14 people. The rooms were all a great size and this was matched by the living space too. The hot tub and the cinema room were a great bonus as well!

Blown away by this property!

We booked Number 1 The Terrace for our companies team building weekend and we were blown away by the property. The standard of decor blended with the original features made it one of the nicest places any of our staff had stayed in before. The layout of the rooms and furniture made it perfect for large groups. The sofa in the front room I think was the largest I've ever seen! The huge dining table made for a great dinner party in the evening. The hot tub and cinema room were also a big hit with our staff. The owners have done an amazing job with the property and you can see that much thought has gone into every little detail. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the property for any group or occasion.

Fantastic weekend away in a fabulous house

I stayed here in 2023 for my friends birthday and as soon as I got back I knew I wanted to go again this time with my partner and a group of couples. Got it booked again and it didn’t disappoint. As the organiser I was hoping my group would love the house just as much as me and it’s safe to say everyone did from the facilities to the location. I couldn’t recommend it enough and we will be back!

Fantastic House

A really comfortable, well equipped house, big but really cosy. We comfortably sat 12 for dinner, loved the very well equipped kitchen and even mastered the Aga. The enclosed garden was really safe for our dogs and very handy location for local walks or as a base to explore further. Owners responded really quickly to any questions. We would definitely book again.

Cousins last minute trip

Stayed at the other end terrace house the first time with family and we loved it. Thrilled that we were offered a bargain rate for the last availability for Number One for a last minute cousins trip. Great location. It’s a perfect sized, well equipped home for large groups who want to do various daytime activities and then convene in the evening for dinner and chilling. Large, clean, spacious rooms. Beds were a bit too soft for me personally and the curtains were a little dusty. Other than these minor details, I can’t fault the place. Thank you for having us!

Great House, great holiday

My family meet in Windermere every year and come in from all over the world. We usually stay at Boston House, but this year we had to try Number One. Even though some of the family had to cancel due to illness, everyone still had a wonderful time. They actually preferred Number One to Boston House (just) which I never thought I'd hear them say. Great house, great hosts and an amazing location. See you next year!

Family Birthday Gathering No1

No1 met all our expectations, it is a lovely house for a family celebration. The garden was safe for our family dog. The location is perfect for bus and train stations but if you wanted a quiet countryside location this is not the property for you as it is situated on a busy main road. We did however enjoy the outside space for dining. Would recommend to all.

About the host

Hosted by Andy and Barbara Cheetham

Host profile image
Andrew and Barbara Cheetham 'collected' all 5 houses on The Terrace over a period of 10 years. The properties were built for the owners of The Windermere-Kendal railway. This is the first time all 5 have been under one ownership since they were built in the 1850s.

Why they chose this property

We purchased all of the properties on The Terrace to create luxury party houses in the aazing village of Windermere. Every weekend the houses buzz with the joy of people celebrating something. We love playing our part in generating special memories for all of our guests.

What makes this property unique

Number One has a 7-seat hot tub, a 15-seat cinema in the cellar and a bar in the hallway. The house is set up for entertaining up to 20 guests.
