House holiday rentals in Orrest Head

We had a lovely stay at Francesca's home to celebrate my wife's 40th birthday. 6 adults and 3 children were easily accommodated, and the space allowed us to have a fun catch-up. Fran's printed information sheets were great, and allowed us to make the most of our time there. Friendly, responsive host. We hope to be back!

Fabulous lodge, beautifully decorated for Christmas with a lovely festive welcome pack waiting for us on arrival. The beds were comfy and a good size unlike other lodges we've stayed in. Peaceful site which is close to plenty of restaurants and other amenities. Good communication from the host. We had a perfect family Christmas staying here and enjoyed it so much, we've already booked another stay.

Lovely house exactly as described. Wonderful place to spend a few days with family. Quality of the finish is great and the house has everything you could need. Hamper on arrival was a lovely surprise. Communication from R&H excellent. Overall, I really couldn’t recommend the house enough for a trip to the Lakes

We loved our stay at School House over the holiday period. It was beautifully decorated with a Christmas tree and other decorations. Felt very homely. We cooked Christmas dinner at the Airbnb which went perfectly. We walked into town everyday which was only a 5-10 min stroll and there is also a good softplay for the kids a 5 min walk away by Lidl. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Family of 4 stayed 3 nights in October 2024 and it was just what we needed. Had some beautiful long walks along the beach. The caravan was home from home, clean and cosy. It had everything you could want for cooking a simple breakfast to Sunday Roast. Clean and respectful surroundings around the park. I would definitely recommend to family and friends.

The house is in a superb position overlooking Ambleside with all shops and amenities close by. Beds were very comfortable and everywhere was warm despite some chilly weather. Kitchen has just about all the pots, pans and utensils that you could ever need so cooking meals in was made a lot easier. Having said that, the delights of Ambleside's pubs and restaurants are an easy walk DOWN into town. Don't forget the hill back home after a big meal with a couple of drinks! We wouldn't hesitate to book again.

Our family had a lovely stay at Burrowbank at the end of the summer holiday. The house is fantastic with all the facilities you could ask for. The kids loved the swings and most of all the pool, while the covered (heated) BBQ area meant evening meals outside watching the sunset. Great location and setting, very private and we would definitely come again and recommend to others. Martyn and Christine were very helpful and went the extra mile (even posting my daughter’s disposable camera that she left behind). Can’t think of any negatives and we made some great/happy memories.

The pictures do not do it justice! Me and my family had a lovely stay in Mark's cottage. The facilities were amazing and it made for a wholesome weekend away - would definitely recommended for a lake district retreat!

What a beautiful place to stay! Everything about this house was fantastic. The location was perfect right in the heart of Bowness with easy access to the lake, shops, bars and restaurants. Parking available for several cars (We had 4 but you could easily fit more). The house itself is just amazing with everything catered for all of our party which ranged from 21 to 80 year olds. The kitchen and dining areas are great and well stocked with absolutely everything you need. Plenty of space in the main living room for our party of 9 to all gather together. Bedrooms were all ensuite, well decorated and very comfortable. The games room with Pool table and hot tub was a great place to relax and have some fun, and the cinema room was fantastic. Great views from the balcony, up and down the Windermere valley. Communication with host David, was 1st class with immediate responses to any questions and a very flexible approach to requests. Would highly recommend and we will hopefully return.

Would 100% recommend staying at the Riverain Coach House. We recently stayed with some friends and enjoyed local walks close to the house, a good selection of local pubs nearby but would recommend pre-booking to avoid disappointment. However with Penrith and shops being only 10 minutes away, it wasn't a problem. The house has been done up beautifully and is really well equipped. Christine was great, providing lots of helpful information before our stay and the welcome hamper went down a treat. Thank you so much, we would 100% stay again.

I booked on behalf of some gentlemen we had working in Barrow, Kelly was fantastic, she was on hand, fast replies, patient and very helpful. She met our needs fantastically and quickly, Managed to get cleaners out to the house asap for us. I cannot fault her. Amazing.

The house was as described. Very quiet on an evening. Great location for walking in the lakes following our walk up Scarfell Pike and Ennerdale. It’s not particularly a tourist location but a great base! All locals really friendly and Everything was expected and described.

An absolutely lovely little house. Extremely comfortable and clean and like being at a second home. It’s a quick walk to lots of pubs, restaurants and the lake. We Managed to get a free parking space outside the house, which was so handy to unload our bags. Liam was great with messages and offering any advice. All the details for the home were helpful and easy to follow. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to stay in the Lake District, as it’s an amazing base to the rest of the beautiful villages and scenery.

We had a lovely short family break at Old Spout Barn. The accommodation was spotless (inc. the kitchen, bathroom, bedding, etc.) and had everything that we needed. The barn is situated in a very peaceful setting and the views from the barn are beautiful! We thoroughly enjoyed cosying up in front of the log burner in the evenings and looking out for the stars! Directions and instructions about the house were very clear and Sue, the owner was always very responsive and helpful. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Great cottage , second time we’ve stayed , all u could want from for a family vacation with well behaved dogs . Thankyou again

a really interesting and quirky Airbnb! the hosts were really responsive and helpful to all queries and questions and the property was exactly as described

Extremely clean and catered home. It was perfect for our stay.

An absolutely amazing place. We found ourselves at home and with all the convenient amenities required for a great holiday. Very spacious and situated in a perfect location. Above all, Brenda was simply amazing, taking time to explain everything and giving us excellent recommendations. She was so helpful and always contactable. We will certainly be returning to this beautiful cottage.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this property and was thoroughly impressed. The space is impeccably clean, generously spacious, and exudes a warm, homely ambiance. It comes equipped with all the necessary amenities, ensuring a comfortable and convenient stay. I highly recommend this property to anyone seeking a delightful and hassle-free experience.

Beautiful home. Very cosy with everything you could want or need. Very spacious and very quirky which we loved. Comfy beds, warm home and lots of comforts. Thank you for a lovely stay

A beautifully appointed and spacious house with very comfortable beds in a location walkable to buses and amenities of Windermere and right next to the park. Hot tub and tasteful back garden enhanced the experience.

Amazing 300+ years old Grade-2 listed house with fantastic feel still retained. On top Joyce and Lucy are amazing hosts. My 6 year old even struck up a great conversation with Lucy and they started playing a board game of sorts :-) They always kept us informed, and ensured the house is kept warm all time. Easily accessible to some local villages, the beach and also just half an hour away from the Lake districts. Only point I will make is if they can offer a small kitchen facility that will be great for families. Having said that -it wasn't a problem at all as beverage, cutlery and crockeries were all provided. Plus free milk, juice etc. And we actually enjoyed some wonderful takeaways who deliver within 30 mins. Jasmine Palace - the chinese was great.

The photos don’t do the cottage justice to be honest, it’s a very well provisioned little cottage and perfect for our night’s stopover. Well stocked kitchen, close to the shops, beautiful garden, and warm and cosy for our arrival despite our short notice booking! Our kids loved re-filling the bird feeders too, as an optional part of our checkout process.

This is a great location, quite area! Hot tub was lovely, space is great and we had a great time. Very local to town centre, however there is a hill so be good with hills. Plenty of parking and the games room is great!! Highly recommended.
