Take a Walk to Orrest Head 🥾

You don’t need an all-day hike to enjoy incredible Lake District views.

Orrest Head is a shorter walk from Windermere, taking you through countryside before opening out to views across the lake and surrounding fells.

Ideal for a morning wander before heading back into town.

We know just the place.

The clocks go back tonight, giving you the perfect excuse for a slower morning, a leisurely breakfast and another autumn day exploring Windermere.

Make that extra hour count.

What Our Guests Say ⭐

“Fantastic B&B, comfortable rooms. Great location with it being a 5 min walk along to Windermere and 10 mins down the hill into Bowness. And a big plus is that it has spacious parking to the rear.” Ged K - Tripadvisor.

Thank you for the lovely review.

A Rainy Day in Windermere ☔

Sometimes, the best response to a rainy Lake District day is to simply get cosy.

Settle into the bar at The Howbeck, help yourself to a drink from our honesty bar and enjoy a slower afternoon while the rain does its thing outside.

No plans. No rushing. Just somewhere warm to unwind.
