Orton Hall, Royalist Suite

Orton Hall is a 17th Century Jacobean Manor House carefully converted into self-catering suites sharing a Great Hall and six acres of gardens with lawns, fountain and woodlands.

The one-bedroom Royalist Suite on the ground floor is full of period charm with a fully oak-panelled living room, imposing fireplace and a "secret door" through the bookcase to the rest of the apartment.

The Royalist Suite can accommodate two in the bedroom in a king-size bed with space for a cot to sleep a baby or toddler. Comfortable folding beds are available for up to 2 extra guests in the living room.
The bathroom is separate to the bedroom with WC, bath with shower over & sink. The kitchen has a cooker with hob, grill and oven, fridge with ice compartment, microwave, dishwasher, toaster, kettle and full complement of cooking equipment and utensils. In the living room there is a large TV with BT Vision and DVD player together with an extensive library of books & DVDs, sofa seating for 4 and a dining table in the bay window.

The Royalist Suite is fully self-catering apartment but you will find a complimentary starter supply of coffee, tea, milk, sugar & biscuits. The suite is also stocked with consumables including washing up liquid, hand wash, dishwasher tablets, kitchen roll, tinfoil, toilet rolls, salt & pepper & cooking oil.

There is a washing machine & tumble dryer in the communal laundry room. Both are coin-operated and accept £1 per load.

Towels & linen are included, as is complimentary membership to the North Lakes Spa in Penrith for the duration of your holiday where you can use the gym and heated indoor pool or relax in the sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi. You can also book treatments or massages at extra cost.

The communal Great Hall has a large fireplace, pool table & baby grand piano and is a great space for relaxing. If you don't feel like cooking, the local village pub, only 300 metres away, serves food and many good restaurants are in easy reach of Orton Hall by car.

The Royalist Suite at Orton Hall offers a period getaway for your short break in atmospheric surroundings in one of the most beautiful parts of the country. Located in the Eden Valley within the Yorkshire Dales National Park but on the doorstep of the Lake District and all its charms, it offers a perfect base for exploring this beautiful part of England on foot, by car or by bicycle.

Stunning accommodation in a beautiful setting. We had an amazing, relaxing time at the Royalist suite. Great location to explore nearby towns. Access to the spa is a great bonus, though very busy in the afternoon. Wish we could have stayed longer, will be back for sure! Stephanie was a great host.

A walk back in history

Amazing property . Loved the carved wood ceilings and wood panelled walls not to mention the secret door. Never seen so many books outside a library. unfortunately didn’t stay long enough to read any. Also a vast selection of DVDs. The communal lounge was magnificent, we didn’t use it but were very impressed. The rest of our accommodation housed everything we needed and was clean and functional. The bathroom maybe needed updating but maybe I am nit picking, plenty of hot water and at a good pressure. The grounds both to the front and rear of the property were well tended with several benches to sit on and admire the views. Stephanie was extremely informative both before our arrival and on arrival. We did several walks in the area using the information booklet provided.

Nice stay but NO hot water.

The property was quite old fashioned and had its own charm. The cleanliness was spot on and the whole process of check in was great. Unfortunately we had no hot water at all during our stay and whilst the property manager attempted to get this rectified she was unable to due to a fault on the water system. After a 20 mile hike the need for hot soak was high but we had to travel 30mins to get a shower! We asked for a partial refund due to having no basic amenities however received no response from this and all communications ceased. I would not recommend this property or would stop here myself again due to unreliability of the water system and the inability to communicate with the property manager after the fact.

Amazing

Stayed in the Royalist Suite for a short break with our daughter and found the place just totally amazing. Stephanie was friendly and provided accurate local and check in information. Orton Hall, and the Royalist Suite are stunning and just next level opulence. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need, but we hardly used it, as the George pub is literally 5 minutes walk and the food fab, with a very friendly landlors and staff. The grounds of the Hall are great, and, despite the damp weather had a couple of strolls and spotted a couple of cheeky red squirrels and a multitude of birdlife. The village is quiet, but not so remote that you are cut off, and in addition to the pub has a shop and fcafe in the chocolate factory (an absolute MUST!!). You are within a 10 minute drive of the M6 with easy access to the lake district. We wouild absolutely stay here again.

Lovely

The property was very much as described. The lounge, with it's oak panelling and bay window was a delight to spend time in, the addition of the bookcase door was a real novelty. The kitchen was very well appointed, the bed was soft, with a heavy (possibly down) duvet. Not exactly my preference, but still comfortable and definitely warm. The bathroom was fine, although the hot water was occasionally short lived, it was easily managed. Overall, my only gripe was that it was a touch chilly, not what I was expecting when booking, although it was clearly pointed out in the detailed information we received after booking. Thankfully it was a warmer than average February weekend so again was manageable. We would definitely consider a return visit and recommend Orton Hall to others.

This property is quirky in all the right ways and it's everything you need. The hidden rooms behind the bookcase is such a unique touch and it's somewhere I will definitely be looking to stay again. I will say this though.. take extra clothing because the description is right....it's certainly nippy in winter.. take extra

Brilliant mini honeymoon

My husband and I got married in January and as our baby was 10 months old at the time, we decided to go for a relaxed, UK based honeymoon. We love the Lake District so quickly settled on Cumbria, and then we discovered the accommodation at Orton Hall. We booked the Royalist Suite and absolutely loved our stay. What a cosy, characterful apartment, equipped with everything you need, including shelves of DVDs and games and a very well-equipped kitchen, which was so handy with an infant. The location was also great as Orton is close to main A roads and motorways but also only a short drive into the National Park for walks or meals in towns such as Keswick. There is also a great hall / common area with sofas, a pool table and a grand piano.The landlady was very lovely, helpful and responsive. On the last day of our stay there was a bad storm that led to temporary power outages. She made it possible for us to stay an extra night at short notice and checked in with us throughout the day to make sure we and the little one were ok, which was very kind.I'm sure we will stay here again for wedding anniversaries and I cannot recommend this place enough for anyone looking for somewhere to stay in comfort and with period charm!

The place is absolutely stunning and we loved the secret door in particular. The fact there was some basic provisions when we arrived was super. The size of the apartment was much bigger than expected, and the decor, although a bit dated was in keeping with the property. The local village was quaint and we enjoyed a meal and drinks at the local pub one night.

Was blown away by the beauty of the building. Our apartment was lovely. Would benefit from a bathroom refit to bring it in line with the rest of the apartment but it was decent enough. Kitchen has everything you need (needs a bulb in the fridge though) Nice and clean, bit of dust but I didn't mind and think it adds to the look! Nice comfy bed :) Lovely and cosy in the evenings, would definitely come back! Right up my street 👍
