Peaceful and comfortable
What a wonderful place. My husband and son loved how we had an entire area to ourselves. The views from the living and dining rooms were gorgeous and very comfortable. We really felt like we had the entire hall to ourselves.

Serene location
Super few days in Orton, it's a lovely spot and we enjoyed the hall especially the beautiful grounds with the rabbits hopping around. It's a peaceful spot to come back to after a busy day. We particularly enjoyed Ullswater and its nearby walks as well as Ambleside, both around 30mins away and crossing the moors to Crosby Ravensworth. The Orton village shop has breakfast and picnic lunches covered and there are lots of good restaurants a short drive away. I noticed a supermarket maybe 15 mins away, on the way to Windermere. We didn't make it to the spa as there was too much else to do and the excellent whirlpool bath in the apartment was a great alternative. Our boys (14 and 11) especially enjoyed unlimited time on the pool table. There are a number of apartments in the hall, a mix of residents and holiday lets but all extremely friendly and very quiet.

What an incredible place, cosy and stunning
The place was spacious and had most things we needed. Only downside...it was extremely cold, took an evening to warm one room. Would recommend for it to be pre- heated before checking (in the winter seasons). Was able to enjoy the bath as the water wasn’t hot enough and would need recommend to tell guests to bring more teas and coffees as they’re wasn’t enough for a wkend stay

An amazing character stay
Stayed with my 3 kids (teenagers) they loved it. Lovely house and gardens and very quiet. All enjoyed some pool and chess and access to the spa in Penrith. The Rochester suite was very comfortable and clean. Access to the lake District was good. Only 30 mins to the north or south. I would recommend and would stay again.

La maison a beaucoup de caractère et est parfaitement entretenue.
Nous avons été enchantés par notre séjour dans cette demeure ancienne mais entretenue avec grand soin et parfaitement agencée. Nos enfants ont adoré jouer aux échecs et au billard. Merci à notre hôte pour sa serviabilité lorsque nous lui avons demandé de l’aide. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir.

Fantastic Accomodation & Location
We have recently returned from a week staying at Orton Hall & do not have a bad word to say. Our children absolutely loved it and felt like a Prince & Princess especially in the 4 poster bed. It was very clean to an extremely high standard and the grounds were beautiful, especially watching the rabbits in the morning. If we are ever in the area again we will be returning.

regal house
We loved staying in Orton Hall. The Rochester wing was plenty large enough for our family of 6. The house is so interesting with all the wood paneling and decorations. Very quiet and peaceful and we loved walking around in the little wooded area and also in the village of Orton.

Tranquil stay in a beautiful house.
Very smooth booking process and property lived up to its description and pictures. Quality furnishings and bedding. Set on the edge of a small village which had a pub and a cafe/chocolate factory both within easy walking distance. Highly recommended.

Good location in a charming village
The village of Upton is wonderful and charming and an easy walk from Upton Hall. The specific accommodation, the Rochester Wing, is up three flights of stairs within the 14 units at Upton Hall. The unit is well furnished and has good accommodations, but the public spaces at Upton Hall are in poor condition with lots of odor of mustiness, and very dark - needs lots of refurbishment. Not a good location for children. Overall, we loved the village, liked our specific unit, but very disappointed by the shared public spaces of Upton Hall.
