About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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

Orrest Head is the perfect party house with it's own bar and 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 5 ensuite bedrooms, 2 with in-bedroom baths that over look the extensive gardens. The lounge and dining room both seat 18, if you rent Orrest Head Cottage (to the rear) everyone can eat and socialise together. The kitchen in Orrest Head House is where everyone gathers, it's the perfect place for lazy breakfasts and relaxed evening meals. The beautiful gardens at Orrest Head House make a great playground. 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. There is an additional charge per dog, which can be added at check-out.

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.
