Big houses at the heart of The Lake District

Retirement didn't mean the good times stopped. Alice Howe. Four nights. £143 a head. Your own room. Your own bathroom.

Here's a thought.
Seven friends. Seven bedrooms. Seven bathrooms. One brilliant house in Windermere.
Alice Howe sleeps 14, but here's the maths that matters — split it seven ways and a four-night mid-week break starts from around £143 each.
Your own bedroom. Your own bathroom. No sharing. No compromises. No awkward conversation about who's taking the sofa.

What do you get for that?
A Grade II listed house on The Terrace in Windermere village. Designed by AWN Pugin — the man who did the interiors at the Houses of Parliament. Two king-size four-posters. Leather Chesterfield sofas. Two open fires. A kitchen with a range cooker, two fridge-freezers and two dishwashers.
A 15-seat cinema in the cellar. Netflix, Prime Video, a proper soundbar.
And a private covered hot tub for seven in the courtyard. Because this is Cumbria and we're realists. ☔

Mid-week means the Lakes on your terms.
Quiet roads. Tables at restaurants. Booths supermarket without the weekend scrum. The fells practically to yourselves.
Windermere village is on the doorstep. The train station is 400 metres away — nobody even needs to drive. And if you fancy breakfast out, Homeground in the village is outstanding. Order the coffee first.

Mid-week breaks run Monday to Friday. Four nights from £1,000 for the whole house.
Book direct — no booking fees, best price guaranteed.

The team were so excited and delighted to welcome Hugh Jackman to Zeffirellis and Fellinis last night. He kindly made the time for a quick picture.

Sometimes the little things we do in life mean the most. One of our lovely guests left 2 teddies in Boston House last week. We packed them up carefully and posted them back (as we do with any lost property we find). We received the most lovely hand made thank you card a few days later. It made our hearts sing, thank you for making our job even more special. The team at The Terrace
