Irton House Farm

Liked: 🤩 Warm & friendly welcome ⛰️ Amazing views ☀️ Weather 💚 Peace and quiet 🧼 Clean facilities We have been visiting Irton Farm for the last 6 years and it gets better every time! Lin, Nic and their lovely family are perfect hosts and nothing is too much trouble. The site has the most AMAZING view of Lake Bassenthwaite and because there are just a few pitches the views are unspoilt 🥰 WE LOVE IT!

Disliked: Having to come home

Liked: The location was perfect. Gorgeous views around the whole site, quiet spacious pitches and the amenities are so clean and fresh. The porches we had were surrounded by trees/ planting on 3 sides and felt very safe and enclosed.

Disliked: Nothing! I would suggest some low down solar floor lights near to the toilets and around the field/pitches as it was really dark walking back from the toilet at night. (It was ok walking there as the toilets had some lights but then very dark going back)

From the manager: Thanks for your feedback. As you mentioned we do have mains-powered lighting at the toilet/shower block throughout the night and we do have a number of solar lights on the steps and around the campsite, between each of the pitches, so I will be checking if these are still operating tonight and effective. Thanks for the great review and your review scores.

Liked: The best campsite I’ve ever stayed at. The views from the paddock were stunning. Big pitch space with plenty of space between pitches. Facilities were pristine. Even though it rained quite a bit, it didn’t spoil due to the excellent location and views. The pitch came with its own fire pit too which was a lovely surprise!

Disliked: The only thing I would say is there is just 2 showers which meant we had to queue but honestly, not a major issue and the view while you waited was just perfect.

From the manager: Thanks for the great review scores. Unfortunately, we have conceded to having a quiet time this year, following noisy groups and individuals spoiling the very nice, peaceful and quiet site that you and everyone else enjoy. While we do have a quiet time, we do provide the wilderness campfire area, by the Stone Circle away from the camping pitches, for those wanting to enjoy themselves after quiet time. There is also the option of booking the entire 12 camping site pitches for your group, so you can have the site to yourselves. Thanks for the feedback and review.

Liked: The most clean, tidy and organised farm we have had the pleasure to stay in. Individual toilet cubicles amazingly clean and up to date, showers spacious and warm with plenty of places to set your kit down without it getting wet. View from the pitch was postcard quality. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again next time passing through. For those with kids there is also a play area and a socialising area thoughtfully placed away from the pitches so people can chat and laugh without disturbing those who head to bed early.

Liked: Very peaceful location, lots of hikes close by. Facilities were very clean and looked after, staff friendly and very helpful. We stayed for a week and have no doubt we will be back to tick off a few more wainwrights 😁

From the manager: Nice to see the sun breaking through the clouds, with hopes for more sun to come over the summer months. Thanks for your comments and review scores. hope to see you back again soon.

Liked: Stayed in the Paddock field for 7 nights. People have different requirements in what they look for in a good site. This site hit the spot perfectly for us. The views, the lovely welcome from Nic, the size of pitch, the cleanliness of the facilities, a games room and so quiet. No road noise, just nature. Love the cars being parked away from the pitches, never had that before and it worked well. We will return, it was so relaxing, even in the rain 😊Thank you

From the manager: It's not only our site and location that makes Irton House a great place to visit, it's all our great Pitchup customers, who make it a peaceful and enjoyable place to stay, so thanks for the review and for choosing our site. Look forward to welcoming you back.

Liked: The views were gorgeous. Quiet spot that wasn’t crowded. Loads of space for you. Really friendly and accommodating hosts! Easy to find and easy access. I will be back ❤️

From the manager: Some great photos thanks, shows how much you enjoyed your time in the lake district. Thanks for your comments and review scores.

Liked: Excellent site. A friendly welcome and tour of the site from Nic, who also provided a longer hook up cable, because ours wouldn’t reach👍. Very good views of the surrounding scenery and lake. Nic is in the middle of building a viewing lounge for campers to take in the views. There is a games room and play area for the children. Being on a working farm we were greeted every morning with free roaming chickens. Great toilet/shower facilities, plenty of room and clean. Looking forward to visiting again with the lounge finished and be able to take in the views once again.

Disliked: None

From the manager: I think these chickens need their own review site, they get more press than the Prime Minister :) Thanks for the great review and look forward to seeing you back again soon.
