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!

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!
