Better than expected
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.

Lovely Stay
Lovely stay in a lovely house. Area was beautiful, good proximity to Lake District and Yorkshire Dales. Just off Motorway but far enough away to not notice it. Really quaint property, loved the bookcase hidden doorway. Lots of books, dvds etc for use. Milk, cookies, tea, coffee etc provided. Handy location to charge our electric vehicle at Tebay services.

Beautiful
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 👍

A little slice of paradise
A completely gorgeous flat, full of character, in a beautiful historic hall - after wonderful days out in the Lake District and Westmorland Dales, this was the perfect retreat to come home to. Thank you!

Great Historical Home
Lovely environment, and beautiful gardens. Very well located for travel to surrounding areas of interest. Had everything we needed and enjoyed walking the bridle paths. The George Hotel great for dinner. Just make sure you have change for the washer and dryer if you need them!

Beautiful manor house
Our second time here, and even more lovely to be back after a few years of not being able to make it. Orton is a lovely little village, with a great pub (The George), and other amenities. We had a great time.

NOT QUITE WHAT WE EXPECTED
If you'relooking for a smaller version of Downton Abbey, this is not it. While quite comfortable, there are a number of drawbacks. The smell of mould in the bathroom is very unpleasant. This was the most expensive place we've stayed in this holiday, and to find we were expected to pay to use the washing machine and dryer was notacceptable, particularly as the washing machine smelled of mould.

Lovely, quiet accommodation. Set in mature parkland gardens. Close to village and Tebay Farm shop.
Quite unique apartment with panelled walls and ceiling in living room and secret bookcase door to the rest of the apartment. Close to Kendal and the Lake District. Nicely equipped and very quiet. Just what was needed for an Autumn break.
