10/10 Excellent

Wonderful place 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.

10/10 Excellent

Lovely stay in the cottage
We used the cottage along with the main house and it was perfect for providing the extra space we required for our party size. The cottage is set back from the main house so could be used as a separate booking. The cottage felt very peaceful providing gorgeous views of the lakes and fells. The bedrooms were perfectly set up to provide more than enough room for 6 guests. The only negative to note is that the kitchen felt very dated and did not seem to fit in with the rest of the house, but we did not need to use it as we had the main house and it was purely a decorative issue, all facilities were perfect. Thank you for a great stay!

A lovely stay with friends
We had a really nice stay at Orrest head cottage, the location was really good, the only downside was trying to get out with the car, due to having 2 blind corners & a very busy road. The cottage had everything we needed, a dishwasher would definitely have come in handy.
