Why it works for groups

“The lounge seats 20 and so does the dining table, so nobody gets split up. Add a cellar cinema, a private hot tub and a bar in the hallway. White Moss is next door if you need room for 26.”

Number One: common questions

Details specific to this property, answered before you enquire.

How many people does Number One sleep?

Number One sleeps 7 to 14 guests across 6 bedrooms. Your booking is for your group only — the listing confirms exactly what is included, and whole-property exclusive use can be confirmed with the owner when you enquire.

Where is Number One?

Number One is in Windermere, Cumbria. You can see the surrounding area, and what there is to do nearby, further down this page.

How many bedrooms and bathrooms does Number One have?

There are 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. Ask the owner for the room-by-room configuration when you enquire so you know exactly how the sleeping arrangements work for your group.

Can everyone eat together at Number One?

Yes — the dining area seats 20, so a full group can sit down together. That matters for a group booking, because a house that sleeps a large party but cannot seat it together tends to split the group at mealtimes.

What are the check-in and check-out times at Number One?

Check-in is from 16:00 and check-out is by 10:00. If you need flexibility — particularly with a large group arriving at different times — ask the owner directly, as many are able to accommodate it.

Does Number One have a hot tub?

Number One offers a hot tub — check the listing details or confirm with the owner whether it is included in your stay. It is also worth asking how it is prepared between stays and any rules on use, as these vary from property to property.

Is Number One dog friendly?

Yes, Number One welcomes dogs. Confirm numbers and any additional cleaning charge with the owner when you enquire.

Is there parking at Number One?

Yes — there is parking for approximately 6 cars on site. Worth knowing for a large group, where several cars usually arrive separately.

How do I book Number One?

Send an enquiry through this page and it goes straight to the property owner — Group Escape Houses does not sit in the middle or add booking fees. The owner confirms availability, price for your dates and any deposit terms directly with you.
