We had a great stay as a family celebrating a big birthday, plenty of room, well equipped thought of everything and a lovely touch with named dog bowls. We would definitely stay again and would recommend. Thanks for a lovely stay.

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.

Orrest Head house is an excellent property. Not only is it a lovely house, but many details have been thoughtfully prepared, likely through long experience of providing homes for visitors. It is these ‘extra touches’ that turn a good house into a comfortable home, in which each member of our extended family could find both private space and gather together as well. We highly recommend Orrest Head House both as a place to stay and from which to explore this beautiful region!
