We had a wonderful weekend at Orrest Head House and Cottage. The properties were really well appointed, clean, comfortable and the management was excellent. We were well informed about what to expect which enabled us to plan an easy stay. There was plenty of space inside and outside and the location was perfect. None of our guests had a bad word to say.

We had a wonderful family New Year’s break at Orrest Head House and could not recommend it highly enough. The property is ideal for a group stay, with ample off-road parking and plenty of space to relax and enjoy time together.
The location is a real highlight. Although the house feels wonderfully secluded and peaceful, it is only around five minutes from the hustle and bustle of Windermere. There are excellent walks straight from the front door, which made it perfect for exploring the area without needing to drive.
We also travelled with dogs, and the setting was ideal. They were able to roam in and out freely without any concern about traffic or nearby roads, which made the stay far more relaxing for everyone.
The owner was extremely helpful both before and during our stay, providing thoughtful suggestions on local walks, attractions, and great places to eat. This personal touch made a real difference and helped us make the most of our time in the Lake District.
Overall, Orrest Head House exceeded our expectations and was the perfect base for a memorable family New Year’s break. We would happily return and recommend it to anyone looking for a well-located, comfortable property for a group getaway.

Lovely house, great experience from Liz the manager who was very helpful too.
We had a wonderful stay at this house rental. The home was very clean, comfortable, and well maintained, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The location was excellent and quiet, and the house matched the description perfectly. The host was friendly, responsive, and made check-in and communication very easy. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to others. This was the 2nd time booking, love the location too. Thank you
