Best Western Plus Peterborough Orton Hall Hotel & Spa

The pool area felt a bit dated and there is not much in the way of spa facilities just sauna and steam room and jacuzzi. Felt like a hotel pool rather than a spa. Treatment rooms and treatments were great however and excellent value with a discount for hotel guests. Hotel is a beautiful building but decor again a bit dated. Loved the staircases and carpets though! This place could be amazing. Had a four posted bed in an enormous room, the canopy needed a clean (not nice to sleep under a dusty canopy) but generally room was great. Staff were all excellent and very accommodating. Ate in the restaurant which was lovely food but totally empty as the rest of the hotel was booked for a wedding and 50th wedding party so no atmosphere. Can’t be helped though. Drinks in the pub were good. Had a wander in the small grounds, some great trees. I probably won’t return but it was a memorable stay. less

Afternoon tea exceptional not all are perfect but today very close. Sandwiches were soft fresh tasty tea plentiful cakes home made and delicious scons home made service could not fault price best in Peterborough staff welcoming and attentive mention to Kay who served us thanks made a memory less

I booked the Orton Hall Hotel as a birthday break for my partner! On arrival our first impression was WOW!! It has an unenviable location and set in the most beautiful grounds! We checked in quickly and found our room ! No problems with it at all very clean, lovely ensuite with a very large walk in shower big flat. Screen TV and a well stocked hospitality tray!! Yes if you really want to be nit picking some of the decor is a bit tried but it a beautiful old building full of rustic charm, if you want pristine modern decor go to a souless boutique hotel ! We had a drink at the delightful Ramblewood Inn and some lovely cheesy chips!! We also ate here in the evening no problems great service food was delicious hot and plentyful! We also used the leisure facilities again no problems! Yes the gym is very small but I knew this when I booked and my partner had no issues with it! The staff were all very helpful and accomodating especially the young waitress (sorry can't remember her name) in the Ramblewood Inn! Generally very clean everywhere not spotless but again it's a very large old building so had no issues with this! Our room was serviced everyday with clean towels etc! Breakfast is a buffet affair, not my favourite to be honest, generally because the hot food always tends to be lukewarm (unless you strike lucky and get there just as it's being replenished) and this was the case on all 3 mornings, I generally go for a fresh cooked omlette for this reason, but not at £3.50 extra I don't think so Why??? And £2.75 for speciality coffee !! But that aside nice choice of both hotish and cold food! Had a lovely treatment in the Imagine spa really good value for money! So to sum up would we stay here again Most definately yes!! It had everything we needed for a relaxing short break! less

I booked to stay here for a few nights whilst working in the area. It’s a stunning location particularly when lit up by the outrageously sunny weather we were having at the time. I wish I’d have had time to explore the building and grounds more. As a hotel, it’s quite tired and dated. A throwback, internally, to the 80’s. This is at odds with the charming and original features and quirks of the building. However it was all very clean and comfortable. I likened it to my favourite pair of slippers. Old, well worn, and a bit tatty in places but really warm, homely and comfortable. The floor creaks a bit on some levels, and my window (original leaded window) wouldn’t shut fully, but that’s all part of the charm right? I just accepted it because it was part of the experience! The bed was comfy and the television absolutely huge. Staff were all friendly and helpful. For a work trip, this was a surprisingly pleasant and chilled out stay! less
