The property is beautiful inside and out. I love how the old building has been incorporated in to a modern hotel. My room was spacious, comfortable and well appointed with everything I needed. The pub/bar/restaurant is cozy, with a lovely relaxed atmosphere. (I’d strongly recommend softer lighting in the dining room, it would pull a vast space together help the cozy feel, flow through from from the bar when it’s time to move for dinner).

The gym area is tiny, exposed for all to see and not appealing. The pillars around the pool were all rusty at the base which really lets down the otherwise beautiful pool area and is relatively quick, cheap and easy to remedy. The changing rooms need much stronger ventilation, to prevent the black mould around the lockers and the strong, unpleasant smell of damp. These items are important to me as a guest and desperately need to be looked at as a matter if urgency.

We had a lovely located room and the bed was very comfortable had 2 nights good sleep, all of the compliments of tea, coffee, cookies and toiletries. Staff all helpful and assisted when asked, the spa facilities and pool were just what was needed to help unwind. We had the breakfast buffet and the selection was excellent, I also asked for porridge which was not on menu but were happy to gladly cook and serve. The location of the Hotel is a little gem in The Village and there is a truely wonderful Redwood tree walk to stroll through whilst there. Finally if you wish to eat out and appreciate good cooking then don't hesitate a visit to the Gurkha Lounge, we found and experienced their amazing authentic Nepalese dishes.

Minor issues, Cosmetics really, parts of decor and repairs, fitting for shower head. Probably not easy running hotels in current economic climate but with everything on offer at Orton Hall a quality pro active Hotel / catering manager would really add something extra positive for owners and guests.

I have stayed in different rooms and always had a good night's sleep. The breakfast, both staff and food, are excellent. The same can be said for the Ramblewood Inn. The leisure facilities meet my needs and I like the fact that the sauna reaches a proper temperature and that guests don't seem to throw too much water on the stones so the humidity is low.

Sorry to say this but the Reception and Spa staff could learn a lot from the Ramblewood Inn and Breakfast staff. The latter are definitely more happy and make you feel welcome. Secondly, it would be nice if the floor in the Spa changing rooms (or at least the men's) could be wiped down more regularly using a floor shower squeegee or similar.

Very relaxing stay. Lovely staff, good swimming pool, lovely food, excellent service in the Ramblewood bar from Andy H and the team.

Would really rather not have had breakfast in lounge on low down settee. We couldn’t go in the restaurant because we had a dog with us. It would have been simple to let us eat in a separate space to others and let us sit at a table!

The house is an old manor house with rambling corridors and old rooms. Its been tastefully restored and turned into a rather nice hotel. Breakfast is buffet style and lovely. The staff were pleasant to deal with, we had no issues. The spa, pool, sauna and hot tub are great. Not gold star, but for the money they all worked and were clean and accessible. Beds were really comfortable and the rooms large, with free toiletries, kettle, hair drier and bath/ shower. Wifi was free and the TV had freeview.

Didn't like the Ramblewood pub next door. The staff were nice but it was a little soulless and the beer wasn't up to much. The food was expensive for what you got, but nice. We didn't hang around long.

Love the history & detail in the hotel, it oozes, character, atmosphere and soul. The grounds are beautiful. The decor is tired, but it somehow adds to the charm. The swimming pool is a great size, as is the sauna & steam room. Plenty of seating around the pool & refreshments on tap when required. the lockers are clever, no pound coin required. Afternoon tea was lovely, although really needed something else savoury. The sweet treats were tasty but basic, would have been more eye-catching if they had a garnish of fruit or something colourful added, as they were all beige/pale Cream in colour. The bedrooms were very well equipped, although lacking the usual welcome pack & details. Breakfast was excellent, good quality produce & great variety, definitely value for money. The Ramblewood Inn was good, served nice food, and was value for money.

The building is beautifully historic, making it the perfect romantic getaway. The staff at reception, spa, bar and restaurant were all incredibly welcoming and friendly. We loved the size of the four poster bedroom, it was very special and made us feel like we had gone back in time. You have to look past the creaky floorboards, old single glazed windows and dated bathroom as guests should realise it’s an old building and we certainly never see this negatively. I woke up early and watched the sunrise from our bedroom window, and I wished I could stay forever.

The only single grumble is that the spa changing rooms were rather unclean and this is a shame considering how beautiful the reception area is as your first impression.

Room was good, nice and clean. I'm on a special diet and was only there for the weekend for a meeting, so took my own breakfast and dinner. Lunch was provided by the hotel and it was very good! shame I couldn't have their breakfast and dinner!!. The staff were lovely and provided us with different meals and drink at the last minute without complaint and it was provided at every break there after. All the areas were clean and tidy and the people there for the Spar side also seemed relaxed and happy, did not hear any complaints from my colleagues either. The hotels atmosphere was welcoming, relaxing and friendly. All staff were approachable. Look forward to more meetings there in the future. Although it was a damp weekend the grounds looked lovely.

Nothing to complain about.

Great to have a triple room option with 3 single beds, good size, including a sofa and table/ seating. Good breakfast buffet. Pub n3xt door does good food at reasonable prices Beds are comfortable We were all very happy with the Spa treatments and service, these are great value.

Rooms and bathrooms are a little tired. General loo facilities in the public areas are in short supply and also not as well appointed as you might expect in a spa hotel. The swimming pool is good, a few more loungers would be nice. The general Spa facilities are pretty basic. A fridge in the room would be nice!

Spa facilities - everything was working and in good order. We enjoyed spending time in the spa. It gets quieter after 5pm. Hotel staff - everyone was helpful (especially the maintenance guy). It makes a big difference when the staff are friendly and helpful. Even some more expensive hotels don't have to staff like this. Breakfast - everything was well prepared and stocked up without needing to be prompted. The team was very efficient and cleared tables quickly so that other guests didn't have to wait long for a table. Location - 10 minutes away from the town centre.

Spa changing room - got very dirty as people came in with muddy shoes. Probably could do with an hourly clean. Spa treatment booking - I wanted to book a massage for my wife and and there was only one 30-minute slot available for the duration of our 2 day stay! Book early to avoid disappointment. Some rooms need updating - the hotel is being renovated so some rooms are a bit tired. Our initial room's ensuite smelt mouldy, and the extractor was very noisy. The maintenance guy turned up and did his best, but it couldn't be fixed. We were moved to another room without any issue. The second room was wonderful and what we expected.
