We stayed over Christmas 2011 and received a warm welcome from Judy, the cottage is very easy to find and very nicely appointed. Our room on the first floor was modern and catered for all our requirements. Breakfast had to be on of best I have eaten in a B&B, good choice of fruit and excellent quality cooked English platter,... More

Yet another lovely stay in a small, very friendly B&B. The rooms are very clean and beautifully furnished, lots of unexpected extras. Judy and Steve are very welcoming hosts, with lots of tips for places to visit and info on walks. Breakfast was outstanding and the bed REALLY comfortable. Avery comfortable, value for money B&B, we will be back!! More

This is a lovely little B&B with lovely owners. Its located on the main road just round the corner from the village shops. I couldn't tell you if there was noise from the main road as we had the back room. The rooms were lovely and clean and provided everything you would require for a few nights away from home.... More

Stayed 2 nights Aug 2011. Good points - location, cleanliness, modern bedroom presentation, affable lady host, good breakfast and wi fi. Worth comment - main road position for smallish front bedroom (noise), thin internal walls (more noise), small breakfast room a little austere. However good value for money, great base for exploring the Southern Lakes, and not too far from... More

We stayed here for one night (a fleeting visit for my boyfriends birthday.) The cottage is about a few minutes walk from Windermere train start and really easy to find. Judy was so welcoming and made us feel welcome from the start. She gave us ideas of what we could do with the short time we had, including walks and... More

Finding the B&B was so simple, the directions given by the owner prior to travelling we're useful but not needed. Located by the train station on the main road of Windermere the free on street parking was not a problem. I was able to park outside the door to the B&B throughout my weekend stay. Upon my late arrival I... More

We stayed here for 2 nights in April and found it great value. We were in a room at the front of the building, but there was no traffic noise to bother us. The room was very comfortable, and I liked the fact that Judy left wine glasses and a bottle opener in the breakfast room for guests who like... More

My fiance and I have just returned from 5 days in the Lake District. We stayed at Orrest Cottage for 2 nights. Judy was the perfect hostess. The room (room 2) was very clean with all mod cons (TV and DVD player) and additional homely touches such as complimentary toiletries. There are only 3 rooms at the bed and breakfast... More
