Orrest Head House, a majestic Lakeland property a moments walk from Windermere village.

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!

The property was in a superb location ,with Booths supermarket & pubs 5. minutes away.The property was exceptionally well maintained and was ideal for a family retirement .Would highly recommend this property & we will be back again next year.

We absolutely loved our stay. 8 adults and 8 young children. Great space, great comfort, great facilities!

Great place to stay, we had six adults and five grandkids there. The double room all with bathrooms and king size beds. The kitchen facilities are very good and the downstairs WC were excellent. The main living room is huge with lots of comfortable seating. The outdoor space is fantastic with a massive table and seating. The kids enjoyed playing in the large garden and everyone left happy

We booked following recommendation from a friend of our family. We were a family group of 15 staying in both the house and the cottage. The standard and quality of the accommodation is first class. We were staying for our wedding at Kendal Town Hall and had booked outside caterers for our post wedding celebrations as well as the following day. We had our wedding breakfast using both the dining room and the covered terrace. Both were spectacular. The kitchen facilities were excellent and greatly appreciated by our caterers. The grounds surrounding the house were a wonderful addition to our stay. The location was ideal being 15 minutes by car from Kendal and a 5 minute walk from the centre of Windermere. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Orrest Head House and Cottage to both friends and others.

A beautiful house for a special gathering. Plenty of room inside and out. We'll equipped throughout. Only a short walk into the town or take the bus from the raikway station which is only 5 minutes away.

Great location, good size of venue for all the family. Plenty of rooms to use. Plenty of parking spaces

Stunning property with lots of space inside and out. Very close walk to Windermere (watch the busy road). Perfect for reunion catch ups (such as ours), multi party groups or just you.

We really loved this house. Very good size rooms and lovely ensuite showers. Had some great evenings in the bar. Great location. Would not hesitate to recommend this house to anyone.

A stunning house in a fabulous location. Ten of us stayed for a long weekend. All of our requirements were met without having to get in a car all weekend. We definitely be booking again.

Excellent facilities, house well equipped, comfortable, and plenty of space within the house. Shops, cafes pubs and restaurants close by. Close to bus station to travel throughout the Lakes without using the car.

We had a family party of 15 , so we hired the cottage as well as the house., The house was very spacious , we were celebrating our Golden Wedding . The bar was great, we did stock it up well too ! All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend ,as did my two little doggies .

I gave 4 for cleanliness as not sure floors were washed as my bare feet feet were quickly black . . We all took our shoes off at the door .always.

Perfect location for visiting the lake district. The house had everything you need and was very comfortable. All the family loved it. Great touch having a little bar room. Rooms were really nice and spacious. Beds were comfortable. Would definitely stay again

Great place for children who enjoyed the garden and the many rooms in the house. The house is very central within walking distance of Windermere.

It was the ideal place for the whole family to gather to celebrate a big Birthday The catering for a Dinner Party on Saturday was a great success and the Company suggested by the owner could not have been better The location of the House was perfect for us to enjoy a boat trip on the Lake and the surrounding area for walking the dogs. We also enjoyed the Garden for a BBQ and playing lawn games that the whole family could join in

Lovely house maybe some door stops safer for heavy doors for kids and lighter summer quilts for beds

A beautiful property with fantastic gardens. It was a delight to spend a week there, sat in the garden amongst the mature trees watching the wildlife go by. Out of the town but with regular, easy bus commutes from the train station a short walk away. I would recommend it to any large party.

From start to finish this was the perfect stay! The owners were more than happy to help with queries before our stay, replying to emails quickly. The house had absolutely everything- including champagne glasses to make our stay super comfortable. So much space and lovely rooms, brilliant en suites and a fabulous outdoor space meant we could use it all to make our hen party weekend perfect. We had 12 guests and there was plenty of room. Would highly recommend - we are now thinking of an excuse to return!

The house was perfect for my best friends hen do. It blew her away with the size, location and the luxury elements. Each room has its own bathroom, there’s multiple communal spaces and the driveway is huge. Would highly recommend to anyone.
