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!

Disliked: Nothing

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.
