The space

Number One, The Terrace is a stylish Grade II listed holiday house in Windermere, made for hen groups who want character, comfort and plenty of room to celebrate together. Sleeping up to 14 guests across 6 bedrooms, it blends original period features with boutique interiors, sociable living areas and fun extras that make the whole weekend feel easy from the moment you arrive.

Step through the grand entrance and the house immediately sets the tone: elegant, relaxed and a little bit playful. There is space for everyone to gather without feeling cramped, whether you are planning a prosecco welcome, a dressed-up dinner, a cosy film night or a morning debrief over coffee. The location in the Lake District National Park also gives the weekend a gorgeous Cumbria backdrop, with Windermere village close enough for food, drinks, shopping and exploring on foot.

This is a great choice for hens who want more than just somewhere to sleep. You have a 7-seat hot tub for relaxed chats under the stars, a cinema room for matching-pyjama movie moments, a shuffle-board in the hallway to get the games started, and a large patio with outdoor seating and barbecue space for laid-back celebrations when the weather is kind.

Inside the house

The main lounge is a real crowd-pleaser, with one of the biggest Chesterfield sofas you are likely to find, seating for up to 20 people, a living flame fire and a large flat-screen TV. It is an ideal spot for welcome drinks, gift giving, party games or a slower Sunday morning after a night out. Next door, the cinema room gives the group a second cosy space, ideal for a bride’s favourite film, a chilled night in or a bit of downtime between activities.

The dining room doubles beautifully as a bar and party room. The tables can be pushed back to create more space, so you can set up grazing boards, cocktail making, decorations or a private dining-style evening. The handmade kitchen is centred around a bright red four-oven AGA and includes the usual built-in appliances, plus a small breakfast table for early risers, snack chats and pre-walk planning. There is also a downstairs toilet and a large utility room, handy for storing extra drinks, supplies, muddy boots or outdoor kit after a day exploring the Lakes.

Across the first floor, there are four bedrooms. Bedroom 1 has a super king-size bed that can be split into twins with prior notice, plus a modern en suite shower room with WC. Bedroom 2 is a spacious, light-filled room with a super king-size sleigh bed, sofa and flat-screen TV, giving guests a quiet retreat when they want a breather. Bedroom 3 is a double with a stylish wrought iron bed, while Bedroom 4, the French room, features elegant white furniture, a sofa and TV. This floor also has a large bathroom with a walk-in wet shower area and a freestanding bath.

On the second floor, Bedroom 5 is the dormitory-style room with four single beds and a flat-screen TV, brilliant for close friends who want to stay together. Bedroom 6 is a further double room. There is both a shower room and a bathroom on this floor, each with WCs, helping the whole group get ready without too much queuing before dinner or drinks.

Hen weekend highlights

The 7-seat hot tub is a standout for hen weekends. Set on a raised patio area, it is made for fizz, catch-ups and winding down after a day in Cumbria. It works just as well for a relaxed Friday arrival as it does for a Sunday soak before heading home.

For entertainment, the house gives you plenty without needing to leave. Start the weekend with a shuffle-board tournament in the hallway, turn the lounge into a games and cocktails hub, or settle into the cinema room for a cosy film night with snacks. The generous social layout means different parts of the group can do their own thing while still feeling connected.

Outside, the large patio area offers outdoor seating and barbecue space, giving you the option of an easy al fresco meal, a pre-dinner drink spot or a relaxed afternoon in the fresh Lake District air. If you are planning pampering, the house has the space and calm atmosphere for spa-style treatments to come to you, from facials to massages or make-up before a night out.

Practical touches make a big difference for group stays too. Parking for up to 5 cars helps with arrivals from different parts of the UK, while the mix of doubles, super kings, twin flexibility and shared singles makes bedroom planning much easier for a hen group of up to 14.

Set in Windermere, Cumbria, this house places your hen weekend in the heart of the Lake District National Park, with village life just a short walk away.
