Summary: Always a great stay for us as we love the area and the Hall and close to where we like to go

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: Excellent place to stay in its own grounds with a pub serving good food nearby.Well maintained and like a home from home.
KATE A. Dec 30, 2022 08:31:52 PM
Summary: 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.

Summary: 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!
