Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Orrest Howe. It is a beautiful house in an amazing quiet location with easy access to many nearby beauty spots not least of which are Orrest Head and of course Lake Windermere. Loved the gardens of the house and so did the bunny rabbits and occasional deer which wandered through! Appreciated the communication from the house owner Stephen who answered any questions we had. Would highly recommend a stay at Orrest Howe!
