It is approached via an automatic gate along a tree lined drive in seven acres of private grounds. It is a couple of minutes from the village and is conveniently located for holiday activities in the Lakes, the Dales and the Eden Valley, whilst also being easy of access via the M6 motoway or the trans Pennine A66 route. Nell Gwyn has been renovated to a high specification and enlarged to form a well proportioned dwelling in which the charm of an old cottage blends with modern facilities. It has two large bedrooms, one upstairs and one on the ground floor off the dining hall. Both have dedicated bathrooms. There is a comfortable and spacious lounge with TV, VCR, DVD and CD Stereo System, a dining hall and a fully fitted traditional kitchen with oak units, dishwasher, refrigerator, oven, ceramic hob and microwave oven. The cottage offers a secluded holiday location which is nevertheless close to village amenities and convenient of access being just minutes from the M6 motorway. Whether you are looking for an active holiday or just a quiet place to unwind, Nell Gwyn is the perfect base, offering easy access to the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales and the Eden Valley. Orton Hall is a grade II listed mansion dating from the 1660's with additions made in the late 19th century. It is approached along a private drive through well established grounds of about seven acres, in which there are mature trees, extensive lawns and plenty of space to relax. Facilities for communal use include an elegant oak panelled great hall with pool table and piano, a coin op laundry and storage space suitable for bicycles. Described by A W Wainwright as "one of Westmorland's loveliest villages" Orton gained the Cumbria Best of Countryside Award in 2002 and Cumbria Village of the Year 2004\. There is a shop cum post office, a pub which serves meals, and two tearooms, one listed in the Les Routiers guide. For those with a sweet tooth, a further attraction will be Kennedy's hand made chocolate factory, with its associated shop. Orton is also a popular stop off point for Coast to Coast walkers.

This is a regular sell out event, taking place on the second Saturday of each month. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required -

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. ##### Julie G. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Nadine B.

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. ##### Nadine B. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lydia-Ann J.

It provided what we needed for a comfortable relaxing base from which to walk the lovely surrounding countryside or visit NT houses. The rooms were spotless but perhaps in need of updating and there is no WiFi. but everything else you needed provided with clear instructions.

The key is very difficult to operate, I had to find a neighbour twice to get in! The instructions for hot water should be available inside, as the internet doesn't work for consulting on a phone. Frustrating details but the cottage itself is very homely. ##### Margaret P. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth C.

It’s an easy walking distance to a good pub, cafe, shop and chocolate factory. Within easy driving distance to so many beautiful places. The bedrooms and living room were a good size. The kitchen was small but as we were only using it to prepare breakfast it was adequate. The lack of WiFi was a plus point for us. A break from technology was welcome. ##### Elizabeth C.
