Orchard powered grass tent campsite (medium, two person)
Liked: Lovely, relaxing, small campsite with beautifuly clean facilities. Amazing views over the lake and fells. We had an amazing weekend in the north lakes, hiking and exploring. It was lovely to come back to Irton House Farm to relax and unwind. Close to everything and yet felt secluded and tranquil. Will definitely be back!

From the manager: What a great week for camping in a tent, and with those views from your tent shown in your photos, it's probably the best camping spot in the lakes. Thanks for sharing your photos and review.
Great site deserving of all the good reviews.

Liked: Great location with a fabulous view. The facilities were clean and some of the best we have seen. The pitches in the Orchard field were separated and secluded.
Disliked: Nothing
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: The views from the site are especially beautiful this time of year, with all the colour changes and abundant greenery on the northern fells. Please you enjoyed the more secluded Orchard Pitches and all the facilities. Thanks for sharing your review.

Paddock powered grass tent or campervan campsite (large)
Liked: Site was fantastic location was ideal for travelling into Keswick etc. the pitches were nice and large and well spaced out, site was just the right size for the amount of pitches so you don’t feel crammed in. Toilets and shower facilities were immaculate. The views were amazing and there was little chickens just wandering around the place which the kids loved. Already looking for availability to go back in July. Possibly the best site we’ve stayed on in the last few years.
Disliked: Nothing.

From the manager: Thanks for the detailed review and great photos. Look forward to seeing you back this year.
