About the host
Hosted by Andy and Barbara Cheetham

Orrest Head Cottage was purchased with Orrest Head House by Andrew and Barbara Cheetham. They view themselves as custodians of both properties adding their mark on the story of this historic site.
Why they chose this property
We purchased Orrest Head Cottage due to it's amazing position on the Orrest Head Walk in Windermere.
What makes this property unique
This house has lake views across Windermere and is located on the back route to the famous Orrest Head walk. It takes about 20 minutes to the top where you'll find spectacular views. Views which changed the life of the famous Lake District author Alfred Wainwright.
