About this property

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.

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.

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

Amazing property!

Absolutely loved our stay at Orton Hall. It had everything we wanted and more. Having already stayed before 8 years ago it was lovely to go back. Situated in a beautiful place with easy access to the lake district. Suite had everything we needed. Beds were comfortable and everywhere was spotlessly clean. Would highly recommend.
