About this property
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.

About the host
Hosted by Andy and Barbara Cheetham
Andrew and Barbara Cheetham purchased Orrest Head House in 2011 with a vision to create a luxury rental property on the famous Orrest Head walk. Over a decade later Orrest Head has delivered that experience for 1000s of guests with rave reviews.
Why they chose this property
The house was purchased with the heart. We fell in love with the Story of Orrest Head House and Cottage and wanted to add our chapter to it.
What makes this property unique
Orrest Head House has its own bar. It's a great place to host a milestone bithday. Our sweet spots are 40th, 50th, 60th and 70th birthday parties and beyond!
