Great House for Large Groups
We had both properties for a 40th birthday celebration from work. They obviously attract and cater to large groups such as Hen Dos and birthdays and so I was worried the house might reflect this and be worn or shabby but it was beautiful and really clean. The location was great, near enough to walk to pubs and shops but far away enough that I didn't have to shout at my young colleagues to turn the music down. We found the 2 house set up great as 5 of us older ones or ones who need a break from large groups could go back to chill out or sleep. The large house was great for the main events with a pub room and a large kitchen for kitchen disco. All our interactions with the owners made us feel welcome. Would love to go back.

A Little Gem tucked away yet 5 minutes walk and everything at your fingertips
Orrest house was everything and more we could have wished for. Location & condition fab and the bar topped it off. Great family room for the evening, the beds were so comphy …. The kitchen is very well equipped with two large larders. We got wet and there were dryers to use … the grounds were absolutely gorgeous and we had great family time playing rounders and cricket. Didn’t want to leave …. Thank you

Fab stay at this historical house
Wonderful stay at Orrest Head House. The house is spacious enough and well equipped for a large group, and in a perfect location for exploring the lake district. Would recommend this lovely house to anyone visiting the lake district and can't wait to go back.
