Fantastic property in a great location

A beautiful property, a group of 14 stayed at the property for a Hen Party. It is a great location, an easy walk into Windermere with Booths supermarket, shops, restaurants and pubs near by. The property is very well equipped, it’s decorated tastefully and feels really homely. Lots of space and the number of bedrooms and bathrooms meant no waiting to get ready. Many of our party said they would definitely stay again. Highly recommended!

Weekend break

Good house for a large family gathering, loads of parking (5 spaces) useful. Large lounge that all can fit in and sit down. Comfortable bedrooms and spacious. We had glorious weather so our only ask would have been better outdoor furniture and more out front as thats where the sun is (south facing) only 3 chairs out front, 3 more pulled in from garden but there was 11 of us.

Perfect

This was our 4th stay here. Andy & Barbara (owners) were super efficient in any queries I had from booking process etc. Boston House has everything you need for a short (or long stay). Perfect for our families , spacious, comfortable in quiet surroundings. Enough parking outside for large groups. Location is perfect for Booths supermarket and Windermere cafes, shops and restaurants. The only issue was pillows could have been comfier. Shower in room 2 needs attention (maybe a new shower head) as power was poor. Noise from floor above when showers were in use . Putting those little issues to one side though and We will definitely be back!

Fabulous stay!

We had a wonderful stay at Boston House for a hen party. We've stayed at The Terrace many times before and this time was just a fantastic. Such lovely accommodation, cosy and elegant. Amazing facilities with everything you could possibly need. The location is great for exploring the lakes and for cafe trips. Excellent all round.

What a fantastic place

This is the second time we have stayed at the Terrace, This time we stayed at Boston House. The houses are well equipped, the rooms are nicely decorated and comfortable, many of the rooms with en suite, which is always helpful when you have fourteen people. From the time of booking to leaving the property we found the owners very approachable, we arrived a little early as you can park and go for a wander and where allowed to pop some of our food into the fridge before we had access to the house which was really helpful. The Terrace is central to Windermere, and the bus and train station, making access very easy into the rest of the lakes. We would definitely book again, we had a fabulous family time.

Corporate Get together and meetings

8 Adults, all work colleagues, staying together which the property is ideal for as it has effectively 1 bathroom per bedroom (some ensuite, some not) so no need to share. Property was perfect that we could eat communally, host meetings for the whole group in the living room or dining space, and get down to the lake or up into the hills to enjoy some downtime. Great house, would highly recommend. .

Great house for family getaway

The house is very spacious and clean, though a little careworn in some parts, e.g. the lounge sofa and the bathrooms which are a bit dated. Having said this our family group of 14 loved our stay. It was great value for money and the customer service was fantastic. We called Liz with a couple of questions regarding the hot tub and she had someone on-site within minutes to help us. All in all our stay was excellent and we would book again.

Family birthday celebration at Boston House

We had an excellent stay at Boston House to celebrate my husbands 70th birthday 15 people from 9years to 93years old ( 4 generations) The house lived up to all expectations - would recommend to anyone looking for accommodation for large groups The Cinema Room & Hot Tub were used throughout the visit - quality extras There was plenty of kitchen equipment & utensils for our large group with 2 dish washers making washing up easy ! Location was excellent for the energetic members of our group & Booths so close by to top up food shopping if needed Once again we all had a fantastic stay - Thanks you

Welcoming but tired.

We enjoyed a wonderful celebratory weekend at Boston House. We would book one of The Terrace properties again, as they are ideally positioned and perfect for large parties. However, this property is tired and is in needs of some tlc. Having stayed at No 1 last year there is a notable difference and it’s a shame. The hosts are marvellous, the property is clean and we had a superb time, but it’s time for a ‘freshen up’.

An excellent choice!

It can't be easy to cater for the needs of 16 people aged from 3 months to 80 but Boston House came up trumps. The house is large, comfortable and well equipped, and not too grand to restrict the wee (well behaved mostly!) ones. The hot tub and cinema room were great attractions. We will definitely return.

FANTASTIC!!

Stayed in Boston House for 4 nights, 10 adults, one baby and three dogs!! Had a wonderful time, the beds were very comfortable and the house itself was brilliant, plenty of room for us all. It is well equipped for large parties and perfectly placed to stroll into Windermere - 3 min walk to bus stops and trains. A big thank you to property manager Liz Watson for returning clothes I had inadvertently left in the wardrobe … returned within the week. Great property, fab weekend. Highly recommend, hoping to return soon.
