Stayed Jun 9, 2025We 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.

Stayed Oct 28, 2024Although 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.

Stayed Aug 3, 2024We 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.

Stayed Aug 17, 2024Myself, 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.

Stayed Dec 23, 2022Although 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.
