Amazing stay!

Such a brilliant weekend away with friends at Boston House. The location is perfect, right next to the station with lots of parking. House was clean and rooms were lovely with plenty of space. The hosts provided lots of information in advance and the stay was very smooth! Even had some sun for the hot tub! Would absolutely stay here again - thank you!

Another Fantastic Stay

Another stay at Boston House and another bunch of great family memories! My family use this place as a meeting place coming from Warrington (my wife & I), Scotland, Dubai & Hong Kong, and every visit is special. We love Boston House (& Number One) and of course - Windermere itself. Consistently great venue, really nice people (owners & housekeepers) - highly recommended.

Break at Boston

Our party of 12 very much enjoyed their stay in this lovely old house. It would have been a squeeze for original group of 14 though. Cleanliness good superficially, but significant amounts of thick dust and cobwebs in the less obvious areas, and strong dog smell in the living room. Loved the hot tub and cinema. Hosts very communicative and booking all ran smoothly. Great base for walking, buses and shops. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic girls weekend at Boston House

Andy and Barbara were fantastic hosts and a pleasure to deal with. Communication was excellent throughout – they checked in with me before our stay and shared plenty of useful information and tips ahead of our visit. Check-in was seamless thanks to the key box at the front door, which made arrival really easy. The house itself was immaculate and fully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The hot tub was a real highlight – perfectly heated and ready to enjoy. We also loved the cinema room downstairs; it was so easy to settle in and stream a film on Netflix. The location couldn’t have been better. It’s an easy walk into Windermere and only around 25 minutes to Bowness. A few of us travelled by train, and the house is just a two-minute walk from the station, which was incredibly convenient. Having a Booths supermarket nearby was also a big plus. We had a wonderful stay and will definitely be back. Thank you again!

A great family base for exploring Windermere and surroundings

The house is exactly what it says on the tin. The whole family enjoyed being there and we didn't even get into the cinema or play darts!! If there was one thing that would have made it better it would have been to turn the whole terrace through 180 degrees so that the afternoon and evening sun was on the back areas which were obviously more private.

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.

Great house, great location

For a large family gathering, this house is perfect. It’s extremely well situated in the heart of Windermere, right by the station, the bus depot and Booths supermarket. The hot tub is a great addition. 5 of the 7 bedrooms are en-suite and 4 are doubles. There is plenty of parking so it’s very convenient for large groups. If anything, the bedding is feather so may not suit everyone, otherwise, the house is extremely well provided for, especially the kitchen and cooking facilities. We would definitely re-book.

Another great stay!

This would have been our 4th or 5th stay at Boston House. The location is perfect couple of minutes walk to Booth supermarket for a top up shop although we did arrange a Tesco home delivery for the necessary items for our stay. Rooms are decorated well and beds are comfortable (although the shower in room 2 isn’t the best. This was reported the last time we stayed and nothing has been done to fix or change it) Living area is starting to look a little tired . Kitchen is perfect for our family group as it’s the ideal place to socialise due to the size and good use of the island . Kitchen has nearly everything you could need apart from baking/pizza trays. Considering the large group we found the wooden picnic benches not great considering there used to be good quality garden furniture previously

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
