Best Western Plus Peterborough Orton Hall Hotel & Spa

The room we were given was lovely, with a great view of the courtyard. The breakfast was a buffet and offered items from either an English breakfast or European hams, croissants etc. The attached pub is quite nice too. less

Recently stayed at this hotel as a birthday treat for my hubby. On arrival, the building and ground looked amazing! Sadly, the same can’t be said for the interior. The general feel inside is that a refurb is much needed; our ‘executive’ room had grubby, worn carpets and curtains and the paintwork was discoloured and flaking. That said, all staff were great- very helpful and friendly and breakfast was good. With a little TLC, this hotel could be five star. less

I attended an afternoon tea private party at Orton Hall, and was disappointed from the start. My wife didn't know which room to go to and got no help from the two women on reception, who just chatted to each other and ignored her. Eventually, after one failed attempt to find the party on her own, she got some help. Then there was the food content of the afternoon tea; some opretty average sandwiches, some with a tasteless cheese, some with a smidge of tuna, all on commercial sliced bread and a bit bland. The cakes were average, too, especially the chocolate cake, which was a bit dry and had a chocolate-flavoured icing. But the cardinal sin was the scones. The scones weren't bad, but they came with sweetened whipped cream, which may well have come out of a can. Made me wonder whether the cook had ever eaten a cream tea. The tea element wasn't exactly done with much applomb, either. The tea was weak, and served from a vacuum jug straight into the cups. The young lady serving was pretty sullen throughout. less

I’d Always been curious to see inside this hotel as remember seeing it back in the 80’s before it was a hotel. We stayed in a superior room which was very spacious and had a lovely view of the grounds. The room itself was very clean and the bed super comfy. The only drawback was one of the sash windows couldn’t be opened and it was a warm night, luckily a fan was supplied. The breakfast was lovely and well cooked. The hotel staff were very professional and friendly , as it was our anniversary they had left a bottle of wine in our room which was very thoughtful (thankyou). I would most certainly recommend this hotel and would like to return again. (I’m even Trying to talk my daughter into having her wedding here when she’s older 😀) less

We had a canopy bed suit and it was lovely. Really big and a nice bathroom. The staff were friendly and helpful and we enjoyed our stay. Breakfast was ok but nothing more. Had dinner in the hotel pub and it was pretty average. Enjoyed walking around the grounds. less
