Fantastic Stay
Our stay at No.1 The Terrace in Windermere was absolutely perfect. The house is beautifully spacious, easily accommodating our group of six, yet it still felt incredibly cosy and welcoming. Every detail has been thought through, making it a truly luxurious place to stay. The extra touches really made the experience special – the jacuzzi was perfect for unwinding after a day exploring, the private bar area made evenings feel extra fun, and the cinema room was an amazing addition for cosy nights in. The location couldn’t have been better, just a short walk into Windermere and close to everything we needed. The house was also spotlessly clean, which made our stay even more comfortable. From the moment we booked, the communication was fantastic – clear, helpful, and responsive, which made everything so easy. If you’re looking for a stunning house with fantastic amenities in a perfect location, I can’t recommend No.1 The Terrace highly enough. We will definitely be back!

A great house for a gathering
The house was really large and had everything we needed for a birthday weekend away. It was warm and comfortable, with easy parking, and with very easy access to Windermere and Orrest Head. The only negative was that the room 6 bed wasn’t as comfortable as the others. Unfortunately the immediate neighbours decided not to finish their hot tub partying until 5am which was far beyond our staying power, but we wouldn’t have noticed their nighttime noise had they moved indoors. All in all, a great house for a get-together.

Just perfect
We couldn’t have asked for a better place for stay for our reunion of friends. Comfortable, warm, clean, great location. Definitely a return visit will be in order. Congratulations to the owners who have put a lot of effort and thought into making Number One, The Terrace, a home from home.

Wonderful family retreat
We had an amazing time celebrating our parents golden wedding anniversary. The house is spacious and ideal for entertaining. The location is brilliant and in close proximity to some amazing restaurants. Andy, the owner was incredibly responsive to any queries we had. We will be back!

Great place to stay in Windermere
Number one The Terrace is an excellent property for a large group of people looking to stay in the lakes. It has everything you need for self catered accommodation; plenty of space to relax, nice big kitchen and utility, comfy and spacious bedrooms, bathrooms with everything you’d expect, and a hot tub and cinema room for good measure. Everything at the property worked as expected, with the exception of the WiFi in the cinema room in the basement. We just weren’t able to get a consistent connection to stream a film. But don’t let this put you off, if you’re anything like us you’ll be out enjoying everything the lakes have to offer anyway!

The perfect place for big groups
We had a lovely stay at Number One. The house is amazing - has everything you need for a big group stay. All the rooms are massive and beautifully decorated too. Especially appreciated the spare hooks on the walls meaning you could hang up any party decor without using blue tac

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.

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!

The Terrace Windermere
Andy was excellent providing a lot of information about check in process and places to visit at Lake District. Wonderful large house. Amazing kitchen and cinema room! Kitchen was fully equipped. Comfortable beds. Hot-tub was a bonus! Less than 2 minutes walk from the Windermere station and supermarkets, less than 5 minutes walk to town and 20 minutes walk to marina, 30 minutes tourist bus ride to Ambleside etc at £2 a journey. Very convenient location with lots of hikes. Quiet corner plot although next to the station and main road. Will definitely stay again. T group, July 2023

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!

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.

60th birthday celebration
We hired the house for a family get together to celebrate my 60th birthday, 8 adults and 3 children . The house was perfect in size and had plenty of space for everyone. The hot tub and cinema room went down a treat with the Children. The adults loved the bar in the hallway. The only negatives we had was were the house was situated.it side faced onto the main road into Windermere which is extremely busy and noisy, especially when sitting out on the front patio. However when in the house the noise was much less (until you opened the windows) The internal fire doors were very creaky and could not be propped open. On the first floor this disturbed everyone at night as there is only 1 en-suite bedroom.

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.
