Orton hotel guide. Macdonald Hotels hotel in Orton, Penrith

"Great room, excellent bed & bedding. Bathroom well equipped with plenty of hot water. Parking was included & close by. Staff very welcoming & accommodating. Lovely evening meal in the restaurant. Our steaks were cooked to perfection & the whole meal delicious. Only thing to let the hotel down was breakfast. Breakfast buffet was dry; the bacon was hard & fried eggs rubbery. The pot of tea was awful, which was a surprise at tea bags in bedroom were delicious. It was bad tea & doesn’t seem to have been made with boiling water. We would gladly return despite the tea ! "

"Very relaxed atmosphere and staff always polite and helpful - brilliant location for an overnight stay being actually on the motorway but once at the hotel you wouldn’t know it. "

"Beautiful Hotel, lovely staff and the spa is a must to visit as well as Mizumi for wonderful food and atmosphere. We will certainly return again - hopefully soon. "

"Room was very clean and comfortable, you can hear pretty much every noise the other rooms make but the quiet hours help. the wifi doesn’t work and the signal is touchy. Food is lovely and quick. staff are all very kind and accommodating "

"Had a lovely stay here in March for a long weekend. We were welcomed so warmly and the room was beautiful, with everything we needed. Would definitely return! Thank you ☺️"

"The hotel provided a fab stay for us in the Lakes. The staff were very helpful, particularly the lady on the afternoon/evening reception desk! She went above and beyond to be kind! The hotel was 10 mins walk to the shores of Windermere. The pool was great and the breakfast was lovely! Highly recommended!"

"Hotel was fab and great location "

"The reception staff were so friendly and always happy to help. Lovely to have access to a small spa after a day of walking, nice hydrotherapy pool, sauna and steam room. Good range of drinks at the bar. Free parking is a bonus and location was great only a 10min walk from Grasmere and a bus stop close to the hotel to reach Ambleside, Keswick and Kendall. Only thing that really lets the place down is the stained carpets!"

"The park was nearby, the lakeside setting was fabulous and the staff lovely. The food was good, especially the breakfast was sensational. The dining room/ restaurant was a bit institutional and soulless. It was strange that the bar could have run out of plain crisps, indeed all crisps but the most exotic of flavours by Saturday lunchtime of a busy weekend. Someone with a bit of initiative could have run across to the Aquarium cafe and scooped up their's. But that is a minor detail. The cosy room was of a good size with a bath. ."
