Orrest Head Cottage. (Sleeps 5.)

Orrest Head Cottage is our smallest house and is a great way to accomodate a few extra guests if you’re staying at any of our houses on The Terrace or Orrest Head House.

Orrest Head Cottage sits behind Orrest Head House. Both houses are located just above Windermere, a 5 minute stroll from the village. Orrest Head Cottage backs straight onto the National Trust path which leads through Common Woods and up to Orrest Head. One of the classic short walks of the Lake District National Park. The house has 3 bedrooms sleeping 5 in total. The master bedroom has views over our vegetable garden to Lake Windermere beyond. There is also a single room (with views over the fields) and a twin. On the first floor there is a shared family bathroom. Downstairs the lounge is bright and airy having windows on two sides. There is also a downstairs shower room and a dining kitchen.

Orrest Head Cottage is a detached house located in the grounds of Orrest Head House just above Windermere Village. The house is surrounded by National Trust fields and looks out over a delightful vegetable garden to Lake Windermere beyond. For the keen walkers (or even an after dinner stroller) the house backs straight onto the path through Common Woods and up to Orrest Head, one of the finest short walks in the Lake District (according to Alfred Wainwright). Even though the house is in such a rural location it is within a couple of minutes walk into Windermere Village, with all the restaurants, bars you’d expect and of course Booths Supermarket.
