Three properties set in the heart of Orroland Estate, which enjoys panoramic views over the Isle of Man and the Cumberland hills. Each is set in its own landscaped grounds around a 5-minute walk from any other property. They share a wild flower meadow and private loch and a choice of paths wind down to the rocky sea shore with rock pools to explore and waterfalls to discover. Open fires are a treat after a day of exploration. Children and dogs are welcome. Large parties can accommodate 14 people in Orroland Lodge and many of our guests are couples who enjoy plenty of space in the two cottages. A holiday at Orroland is good for the soul, peaceful and private with a touch of Famous Five adventure!

We would (and already have) recommended Orroland to our frie...more

The stuff provided for the dog was excellent and the welcome basket was much appreciated. We have a 3 bed 2 bath property in The Lake District and we felt that Abbotsway was quite expensive in comparison. We had a gr...more
Beautiful gardens and setting. Owners helpful and attentive. Very grateful to them for driving my mum to the new Beach house and picking her up as the path was long, steep and stoney. Loved feeding the red squirrels and birds. Beach was made up of pebbles and rocks. We were able to take the paddle boards out and swim around high tide.
The kitchen was big and warm due to the arga. Pans, oven wear, casserole dishes etc were kept in the kitchen. Across the hall, another room housed the cutlery, plates, glasses etc. Would be nice to have space in the kitchen with some cutlery, mugs etc to fac...more
