Orrest Howe is a beautiful property in an excellent location. We had a wonderful family holiday, filling all the rooms to celebrate my 70th birthday.Fantastic walks from the door, and great pubs and Greek restaurant close by. The bedrooms were a delight and the beds and bedding very comfortable.The hot tub was well used by the youngsters.If I had to criticise it would be the lack of crockery. Only 10 of everything and there were 10 of us, so lots of washing up. Also limited pans compatible with the induction hot plates. All in all, just brilliant
