There’s a better way to do a work away-day. And it doesn’t involve a dated hotel function room, bad coffee, and a projector that takes 20 minutes to connect.
Number One, The Terrace is a Grade II listed property in the heart of Windermere. It sleeps 14. It has a 15-seat cinema room with a 75-inch Smart TV. And from Monday to Thursday, it starts from just £1,000 for up to four nights.
That’s your away-day sorted.
Why Number One works for business groups
The cinema room is your meeting room
Fifteen seats. A 75-inch screen. Hook up your laptop, run your presentations, do your planning sessions, review your strategy. It’s a proper space — and one that people will actually enjoy sitting in.
The dining room becomes your boardroom
No hotel corridor. No other guests wandering past. No ears at the door. Just your team, your agenda, and everyone’s full attention. That’s worth more than any corporate venue.
Room to think — and room to breathe
A large lounge with Chesterfield sofas. A dining room that seats 14. A private bar in the hallway. You’re not crammed into one room all day. Breakout sessions. One-to-ones. A proper team dinner in the evening. The house accommodates all of it.
Nine individual beds in 6 bedrooms
Everyone gets their own space at the end of the day. That matters when you’re working intensively. Nobody wants to share after a long day in sessions.
Bring your caterers in
We’re set up for it. There’s a 4-oven AGA, a full electric range cooker, and an American fridge-freezer with ice machine. Working lunches, evening meals, breakfast briefings — hand it all off to a caterer and focus on the work.
Easy to get to. Easy to park.
Teams coming from across the country? No problem. There’s ample private parking on site, and Windermere train station is a two-minute walk away. Getting everyone in one place is straightforward.
But it’s not just a work trip
That’s the point.
After the sessions are done, there’s a 7-seat hot tub. There’s a cinema for the evening. There’s Homeground in Windermere village for a proper breakfast to start the day right. There’s the Lake District on your doorstep — the UK’s adventure playground — if you want a team walk or a bit of fresh air between sessions.
People do better work when they’re not stuck in a business park. Give them somewhere they’ll actually talk to each other.
Give them somewhere they’ll leave with memories worth having.

Whether it’s a sales team kick-off, a leadership away-day, a planning sprint, or just a long-overdue chance for your team to properly connect — Number One, The Terrace is the place.
The Lake District sharpens thinking. The property does the rest.
