About this house rental
Orrest Head House, a majestic Lakeland property a moment's walk from Windermere village.
Orrest Head House is the perfect party house with its own bar and a private location. This 5-star house has direct access to the Orrest Head walk and large grounds for the kids to run wild in, yet is within a short walk of Windermere village, where you'll find cafes, shops and bars galore.
The property features 6 ensuite bedrooms, 2 with in-bedroom baths that overlook the extensive gardens. The lounge seats 16 and dining room seats 18 — and if you rent Orrest Head Cottage too, everyone can eat and socialise together.
The kitchen is where everyone gathers. It's the perfect place for lazy breakfasts and relaxed evening meals. Step outside onto the verandah — sheltered seating right on the front patio, whatever the weather's doing — before heading out into the beautiful gardens, a great playground for the kids.
We have parking for a fleet of cars and a fast EV charger for those with electric vehicles. We welcome up to 4 dogs at the property, with an additional charge per dog added at check-out.

We spent a weekend at Orrest Head House and it was the perfect setting for us to get together after many years. The house is finished beautifully with wonderful details and everything you need to relax and catch up with friends. We enjoyed the outdoor space especially, with the BBQ and external dining along with the spacious garden. We walked up to Orrest Head View directly from the back of the house and walked down to Windermere and Bowness with a great mix of shops, restaurants and pubs.
We would love to come back!

We had a wonderful stay at Orrest Head House. The house is amazing and we were very privileged to be the first to stay in ‘The Loft’. This bedroom is a great addition to the house. It’s a super location for exploring the Lakes, and we can’t wait to return!

Second stay here. Beautiful house and location. All facilities provided, well equipped house. A few minor issues with repairs but owner responsive and friendly. The house has builders atm and they kept leaving the gate open to a busy road. Beds a little firm for our family. Other than that an excellent experience, one we hope to repeat.
