Orrest Head is home to two lovely properties. Whilst designed to be enjoyed independently, the Cottage and House can also be booked together; accommodating large groups of families and friends of up to 18 guests. If booked alone, the cosy and contemporary Cottage sleeps six guests in three calm and spacious bedrooms, with a family bathroom and a ground floor toilet and shower room – great for post-watersport or muddy walk showers. The master bedroom has amazing views over Windermere to the lake beyond. Whilst the twin and single bedrooms are great options for children. Downstairs, a fabulous, light-filled lounge with large windows offers extensive views over the stunning surroundings.
If you’re looking for buckets of character and history, Orrest Head House, built in 1672, sleeps up to 12 guests in five en-suite bedrooms, comprising three kingsize doubles, and two triple rooms which can be made into superking doubles. Two of the rooms also boast in-bedroom baths with excellent views over the gardens – there’s no better way to relax after a long countryside walk. The lounge has huge leather Chesterfields and a Smart TV where kids can slump out in front of a film. A wood burning stove keeps winter visitors warm. The large, sociable kitchen provides extra dining space and the snug, tucked away, is ideal for smaller groups of older kids wanting some time and space of their own. Built for partying, a private bar with a TV room is a great spot for games nights, watching films or simply partying the night away. In addition to the ensuite shower rooms, there are a further two downstairs toilets, as well as a utility/welly room where you can kick off mucky walking boots. Both properties share a three acre garden with lots of space for socialising and play.
