It is a beautiful house. We enjoyed our stay. 5 min walk to Windermere town. Even when it rains Lake District makes one feel good. Thank you for having us.

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’.

This was a family holiday and we enjoyed our stay at Boston House.
The property was well equipped for a large party although some of the furnishings looked well worn.
We thought Boston House would benefit from a larger seating area at the front of the property like the property next door.
Also, in view of the fact that dogs are welcome in all of the properties, a communal outside dog shower would be useful.
The cinema room was a great idea but sadly we didn’t make use of it as it felt cold and damp as you might expect from a cellar.
The hot tub was well maintained with daily checks and was a big hit with members of our party.
The host was very responsive to any issues we had and was quick to sort them out.
On the whole, a comfortable holiday property for large parties with dogs.

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. .

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.

My extended family have an annual get together at The Terrace booking 2 of the 5 large houses available.
Boston House is - like all of the houses - well equipped,maintained with a cinema and hot tub.
Close to Windermere bus and train stations and a short walk to a wide choice of restaurants, shops and pubs.

What a lovely house, very clean, has everything you could wish to have for a stay in an accommodation. We loved the Cinema room, this gave our family an opportunity to choose what and where they wanted to watch films or programs etc. The house is in an amazing location right at the top of Windermere with a shopping centre, train and bus station literally round the corner. We were able to get to so many places from here.
Lots of bars, restaurants, cafes, shops etc to visit in the Windermere area 10 minutes away and through bus or walking can easily get down to Bowness to do boat rides on the lake to other areas.
We loved the fact it had a hot tub which we were very grateful for after a busy day. We love to recycle and were pleased to see that all our waste could be recycled by placing them in separate bins which were clearly marked.
Plenty of space for our family of 11 which was great. Bedrooms were lovely and spacious and handwash provided in all of them. There were plenty of dishwasher tablets and cleaning products for us to use if we hadn't brought our own.
Just a thought for the owners, as we were a family of 11 and lots of shoes/boots, maybe a couple of shoe racks would have been useful in the porch as we just piled ours up in the porch before going into the house.
An amazing house, thank you for a lovely stay and we would love to come back again in the future.

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

It is not very often there is the opportunity to gather all of the close family together. Work commitments, schooling and other arrangements have always got in the way. This time the plan came together for a special 70th) birthday and we were not disappointed with our choice of venue.
Boston House is very deceptive and to the unsuspecting eye it is merely a large terraced house. Once inside you are treated to plenty of space. Numerous surprises such as an already heated hot tub from minute one. A large cinema room that provided family fun and perhaps a few tears with a family video capturing times gone by.
Back to the house. Ample parking space. The kitchen has all the appliances one would ever need. We hired a chef for the evening and he and his assistant found the kitchen perfect for cooking in. Heating is exceptional with 'boost' facilities on each floor. TV's are abundant and there were no complaints from 5 energetic grandchildren. The location provides 'around the corner' access to a very decent supermarket (E H Booths), a little further on and you are in Windermere with plenty of independent shops. Not a Starbucks, Costa or McDonalds in sight, although if that is what you want then perhaps a holiday in the Lake District is not for you.... Exiting onto the A591 can be a small challenge, but then again this road take you along the lake towards Ambleside and onwards.
I would highly recommend Boston House and remember that it is a holiday with friends and family and not an episode of '4 in a bed' where you are seeking faults and point scoring, we can all do this and not one of us are perfect or faultless.

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.

It was a perfect experience and Andy was fantastic to organise things with. We were a group of 20 and we all really enjoyed our experience. Thanks for hosting us and letting us stay in your amazing cottages, it was perfect!
Sadly I think cottages.com their booking system is absolutely dreadful, unprofessional and honestly can't believe they charged us £60 per cottage as a booking fee when they only didn't do anything but what they did was a mess.

Thanks, Maria, I'm so glad you and your team had a great stay. It's great to be able to host corporate gatherings. With regard to the cottages.com fees, we are now offering direct bookings, which saves the £70 (inc VAT) booking fee and allows us to give guests a much more personal service. I'm only sorry we didn't have that set up in time for your visit. We look forward to welcoming you to The Terrace again soon, Andy and Barbara (owners)

Perfect venue for gathering of family and friends, including family dog.

Boston House was the perfect venue for a gathering of family and friends for our big wedding anniversary. The owner and manager are very thoughtful and friendly. The location, layout of the house and facilities are excellent. Wouldn't hesitate to book again or recommend to others.

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.
