Orton Hall

Myself, my sister & niece took a 5 day break to the Lake District staying at Orton Hall as our base. We stayed in the Nell Gwynn cottage. The accommodation was spacious with a well stocked kitchen of crockery/utensils etc, beds were super comfy and in the lounge were books, dvds etc. The owner had thought of everything you may need during your stay. Beautiful accommodation, we would definitely stay again.

Week at Nell Gwyn Cottage at Orton Hall

We had a week’s stay at Orton Hall in Nell Gwyn Cottage. The front room and bedroom were comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped, but it all felt a bit dated. The grounds were lovely, but unfortunately it rained every day we stayed there, so we couldn’t really explore them. However, we did discover a chocolate factory in the village which we very much enjoyed, as well as a very tasty cafe for a full English breakfast nearby. It’s centrally located for visits to both the Yorkshire Dales and the lakes, and we visited both while we stayed here. We enjoyed our stay, but a little bit of modernisation would make all the difference.

Great wee cottage

We were very impressed with the instructions and ease of getting to and finding the location and keys. The bed rooms were large and spacious. The kitchen well stocked with utensils. The location peaceful and quiet. The amenities adequate and the location perfect to both the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales.

Double bed the springs where sticking into us Sofas very uncomfortable also only seats for 3 people but it’s a 4 person rental home. CD player does not work If all the above were rectified this would be a fantastic break,shame it was a little uncomfortable as we did love the area and the local pub

Impractical

Although the cottage has nice finishes, it was inconvenient at almost every turn. Initially numerous power up actions were required. 4 steps up, 1 down from living room to kitchen was a bit tiring. Bathroom 2 shower was unusable; main bathroom shower ran out of hot water.. Washer was in a distant laundry and was coin operated. Dryer not working.

Inadequate heating system.

Although the property and position are lovely, apart from the ground floor bedroom which was nice and warm the rest of the accommodation was very cold. Even with the blankets from the bedroom round us we were so cold that we had to go home a day early.

Had a Wonderful stay

We spent 2 nights at Neil Gwyn Cottage at Orton Hall. It's a lovely quiet spot with beautiful grounds. The cottage was very clean and comfortable. We toured the Lake District during our days and enjoyed returning to the cottage to relax in the evenings. Looking forward to visiting again. Thank you Peter!

We are a family of four. Had a three night stay but wish we could have stayed longer. The property was very clean and well equipped. The hall with the piano was a cherry on the top as we all play and had a fantastic evening playing chess, billiards and the piano.

Comfortable and relaxing

Excellent value for money. It provided what we needed for a comfortable relaxing base from which to walk the lovely surrounding countryside or visit NT houses. The rooms were spotless but perhaps in need of updating and there is no WiFi. but everything else you needed provided with clear instructions. Walking distance to a village shop and its setting in lovely grounds were a bonus. We hope to visit again in spring

Details to change.

The property is not clearly identified on arrival, it needs a sign with the name on it at the door. The key is very difficult to operate, I had to find a neighbour twice to get in! The instructions for hot water should be available inside, as the internet doesn't work for consulting on a phone. Frustrating details but the cottage itself is very homely.

A good base for reaching the lakes

The property was a in a really good, quiet location set in gorgeous grounds. It’s an easy walking distance to a good pub, cafe, shop and chocolate factory. Within easy driving distance to so many beautiful places. The bedrooms and living room were a good size. The kitchen was small but as we were only using it to prepare breakfast it was adequate. The lack of WiFi was a plus point for us. A break from technology was welcome.
