My wife and I were on a six-day walking tour of the Lake Country. Contours Walking Holidays arranged our tour and made reservations at Orrest Cottage for us. We stayed there two nights one week apart. Orrest Cottage is in easy walking distance from the Windermere train station. We comfortably dragged our rolling bags. The rooms were small, as expected,...

Just stayed at this B and B for one night, rooms were lovely, yummy breakfast and also the location was ideal. Owners were also brilliant, my partner left his Tag watch in one of the rooms and they brought it 10mins away from the hotel to where we were so that we got it back, lovely people. Highly recommended.

I knew I had discovered a lucky find even before we arrived as David was so helpful with advice of the area and making sure we arrived okay. The amazing flapjacks on arrival in the room made the long journey from... More

What a lovely stay we had at Orrest Cottage. A warm welcome on arrival after arriving by train it was nice to find it was only a short 3 min walk from Windermere station which is very helpful when loaded with cases and bags. The room was light and comfortable with a spacious en suite and the host had thoughtfully... More

We stayed four nights and could have stayed longer. Right from the moment of booking on the very clear and informative website, our emails were answered promptly and we felt welcomed. David and Laura are great hosts, friendly and helpful without being intrusive. It's a small place but felt like home the moment we arrived. The rooms have been decorated... More

Exactly the kind of place you want to come back to after a long days activities. Homely, welcoming and warm. The room was clean, well presented and comfy. The breakfast provided was fantastic, everything tasted incredibly fresh. The home baked bread was a welcomed personal touch, not to mention the best scrambled eggs I have ever had!

We stayed at the Orrest for two nights and the level of service and attention to detail were brilliant. The Penthouse was perfect with the lounge being a great place to relax. Even the M & M's in the egg cups were a lovely simple but effective touch. The bed was very comfortable and good views from both rooms. David... More
