We had a fantastic weekend at Alice Howe. Andy and Barbara were incredibly helpful on the run up by answering all of the questions we had as we were booking for a large group (26) across two houses. The house had everything we could have needed and the outdoor space was perfect for enjoying the sun. The location was perfect and was only a short walk away from shops, restaurants and the lake. We would definitely return and would recommend this property to anyone looking to host a family gathering or weekend away with friends.

Alice Howe is a lovely large house with everything & more you could need for your holiday. We are a party of 4 couples, the bedrooms with en-suites worked well for us all. The house was spotless, all the rooms are really tastefully decorated. After a day exploring the many attractions we spent a lot of time relaxing in the garden & the lovely hot tub. We even watched a movie in the cinema room which is brilliant! Location of the house couldn’t be better. There’s a supermarket shops cafes bars & restaurants just a short walk away in Windermere & Bowness. Communication with the owners was excellent from start to finish. We had such a great time we’ve already booked to return next year! Thankyou for a lovely holiday.

The rooms were clean and well maintained. When we arrived one cot was faulty, and the manager quickly replaced it, which was appreciated. Niggles were first that the tumble dryer never worked. I contacted the owner on the Wednesday only to be told that it would be dealt with when we left on Friday. Second the hot tub was supposed to be maintained daily. On the Wednesday I reported that the water was cloudy, and no one had seen the maintenance team. The next day they turned up and immedistely drained the water and put in fresh. This would not have been necessary had they visited daily. The state of the water meant we were not inclined to use the hot tub by mid week. The bedrooms are set up for parties of single people which didnt lend itself to families. These points aside we enjoyed the stay despite a very rainy week.

We would 100% stay again, thank you for making a great weekend perfect!! The weather we had the weekend we stayed was amazing, so we had the benefit of the back garden an the front both of which were used by all.

Alice Howe is a wonderful property. We stayed as a group of 12 and had a fantastic time. The location was superb, a short walk into Windermere and Bowness and we also included a walk up Orrest Head. Accomodation was clean and had all of the equipment required. Very homely, the cinema room is a great touch and the hot tub is wonderful. Hosts were very responsive to all queries and extremely helpful. Also loved the picture hooks to hang banners on! Fantastic property, highly recommend. I hope to return in the future.

We stayed as an extended family group for one week to celebrate a big birthday. The property was spacious enough for us all. The location was close to all amenities. Walk up Orest Head, railway and buses were excellent ideal for exploring the area without using your car..The property was well fitted out with comfy beds and en-suites ideal for us and our dogs. Good local restaurants.

What a fabulous house and great location! Alice Howe had everything we needed and was spotless. The hot tub and cinema room were excellent additions and there was plenty of seating in the living room, dining room and kitchen for the 12 of us. Great communication from the owner and plenty of information provided prior to our stay. We didn’t want to leave! Thank you.

I was looking for a cottage to rent for my Daughters Hen party in Windermere with easy access to motorways and Railway and what a perfect location this was. Communication prior to arrival was excellent advising on checkin details and safety info. The cottage is absolutely beautiful stunning location, spotlessly clean and tidy. Love the furnishings and the character of this cottage , two large kitchens with everything we needed for the stay and our private chef to cook for 13 of us , which a lot of places do not cater for this. Every bedroom was spacious and we loved the 2 bedrooms with the four poster beds. There is a lovely seating area outside and hot tub which is undercover, again catering for the weather and lovely seating area at the front of the house. Plenty of parking again ideal for larger groups Loved every minute of this few days break and can 100% recommend Alice Howe Cottage..

Alice Howe is a fantastic house for a large group. Lots of space, a brilliant hot tub and the cinema room is amazing! Would definitely recommend.

10.0 / 10.0

Great cottage in an ideal location. It's spacious and has all the facilities and amenities, including WiFi, TVs, and a cinema theatre. The hot tub is included in the price. All the facilities mentioned in the booking description were available. More importantly, a lady from customer service called a few hours before check-in to ensure our comfort. Will definitely book again. It would have been better if there hadn't been a smell in the kitchen when we first opened it. After opening the window for a few hours, the smell went away.

We stayed in July 2024 as a group of 13 (age range was teenagers to adults) + 2 dogs. Location is great with a good range of shops, restaurants and bars within walking distance from the house and main attractions of Windermere a short drive away. 5 en-suite bathrooms were much appreciated given we were 4 separate families. Also a table we could all sit at at the same time also fab! Hot tub also appreciated!

Delightful large cottage in a perfect location for Windermere village and lake

10.0 / 10.0

The property is a superb choice for a large group, with ample space and facilities. The condition of the property and the furniture, equipment, cooking and crockery etc. is all excellent with everything needed to cater for a large group. All members of our group loved the stay at the property, and location wise it is perfect with excellent parking arrangements. The only thing I would recommend is to ensure you take washing-up items i.e. washing-up liquid, a dishcloth, pan scrubber etc. as these are not provided and a trip to the supermarket will be required to ensure you are able to keep all of the crockery etc. clean.

We had a great stay in a great location.The lake is a 35 minute walk downhill but you can catch the bus from the station just below the house.

Fabulous house perfect for a group of women to get together for a few days of winter walking cooking and laughing. We used the hot tub which was lovely. The house was perfect for us. All the equipment we needed was there. Help came when we inadvertently turned off the wifi! We will be back

My family have been to the Terrace at Windermere for an annual get together for some years. The accommodation is 1st class, very well maintained and a short distance away from the bus and train station All of the terrace houses have a cinema and hot tub with a wide range of pubs and restaurants a short walk away

My family and I stayed here for my 30th birthday weekend. Check in and preparing for our stay before hand was made very easy by Andy. When we arrived at the property there was more than enough space to park all 4 of our cars, the property itself was as it was in the pictures and more! The building is gorgeous and the location is ideal, less than a 5 minute walk into nearby pubs / shops / walks. The house was cleaned immaculately, the beds were lovely and comfy, and all rooms were spacious and cosy, perfect either for dinner, chilling, watching movies or playing games. We also enjoyed watching a long classic movie at the end of our stay downstairs in the fantastic cinema room. We loved our stay and would definitely recommend / come again!

the accomodation was first class. As we have used it before we expected nothing less and was proved right and more. We found that the cottage was well equipped and provided ample facilities for a party of ten.

We had a wonderful time at 3 Alice Howe. The house is very spacious, plenty of space for a family of 12. Cooking facilities and kitchenware were brilliant even though we had some takeaways. Family enjoyed the hot tub it was clean when we arrived. Bedding was nice, clean and comfortable. Amenities were nearby, good public transport too. A 30 minute walk to Bowness-on-Windermere where you can catch a cruise liner and visit other places nearby. Luckily it was warm as some of the windows do not shut. We did use the central heating as some of our family members were elders. Great cinema room but felt musty which made asthma sufferers uncomfortable. Overall all good.!!!

We were delighted to be welcomed into Alice Howe, a spacious and beautifully presented house. We stayed for two nights and had a great time enjoying the hot tub, cinema room and wonderful kitchen space. Every guest slept well and the en-suites were very clean. A great house which we hope to visit again soon.
