Girls get together
Fabulous house perfect for a group of women to get together for a few days of winter walking cooking and laughing. We used the hot tub which was lovely. The house was perfect for us. All the equipment we needed was there. Help came when we inadvertently turned off the wifi! We will be back

Warm, welcoming house
We were delighted to be welcomed into Alice Howe, a spacious and beautifully presented house. We stayed for two nights and had a great time enjoying the hot tub, cinema room and wonderful kitchen space. Every guest slept well and the en-suites were very clean. A great house which we hope to visit again soon.

About the host

Hosted by Andy and Barbara Cheetham

Host profile image
Alice Howe was the first house Andrew and Barbara purchased on The Terrace. They fell in love with the property and soon developed an appetite for more. 17 years later they own the whole street. The Terrace is a unique offering of 5 large houses catering for 12 to 69 guests.

Why they chose this property

We purchased Alice Howe as a family holiday home in The Lake District. We soon realised we wanted to upgrade and share it. The property booked up really quickly, giving us the confidence to dream of buying the whole Terrace. 17 years later we own every property on the row. The Terrace Windermere is an amazing group of big houses in Windermere village all for rent. People come here to create amazing memories, we love helping them make that happen.

What makes this property unique

Alice Howe features 7 bedrooms with 7 bathrooms. The property also has a covered 7-seat hot tub in the rear courtyard and a 15-seat cinema in the cellar. It's a great space for a rainy day. Simply login to your Netflix or Amazon Prime account and go to the movies in the comfort of your own holiday home.
