Had a wonderful week in Windermere at Orrest Howe house and thanks to Stephen for meeting and greeting us was a lovely touch and nice to meet you and run through a few bits on arrival. House was beautiful sat back in a private location with very generous gardens and a lovely walk up to Orrest Howe head. Plenty of shops and lovely pubs and restaurants all around within 4/5 min walk. Certainly will be back again. Thanks again
