Paddock powered grass tent or campervan campsite (large)

Liked: Beautiful site, lovely friendly family running the site amongst their farm, perfect location, very quiet, the onsite facilities were brilliant (especially the hot tub), also lots of activities to choose from, clean and warm toilets and showers (with lovely hot water), covered washing station, sleeping next to fields of sheep and goats, and waking up to chickens at the pitch was brilliant. I couldn’t recommend this site more, we’ll be back again next year

Disliked: None

Orchard powered grass tent campsite (large, five person)

Liked: Irton House Farm is the most beautiful, small, friendly campsite. Location is great, views are amazing and the owners are friendly and helpful. The wildlife was lovely which gave my little girls hours of fun and joy. Showers and toilets are fantastic and always clean. I cannot fault this place and we will be returning!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for the kind and great review. That horse is a real softy and definitely enjoys a carrot or apple from the visitors. Gald to here you had a good camping trip.

Hayley E. Sep 2024

Orchard powered grass tent campsite (large, five person)

Liked: Location is beautiful and the toilets are so clean and well maintained. Hosts are very welcoming and accommodating. The only reason to lose half a star (would give 4.5) is for the extra hard ground. We were NOT prepared, but luckily Nick had some hard ground pegs and another mallet to save our trip. The new communal building they are doing looks amazing and despite the challenge we would recommend and return. Just a warning for people booking their trip to get some extra sturdy pegs.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Strong pegs are always recommended in the Lake District and it's nice and soft on top with the flat mud-free astroturf pitches throughout the season. Thanks for your review and great comments about our site.

Local attractions

It’s all about getting outdoors around here – there are walks galore through the area’s stunning scenery (not just lakes but also fells, forests and mountains). Routes are around for all abilities, from accessible ‘miles without stiles’ walks through to scrambles up Skiddaw (the 931-metre peak is 20 minutes’ drive from the farm). Put your boots aside for a while to favour other activities – head to Whinlatter Forest Park (20 minutes' drive) for mountain biking, Derwentwater (20 minutes) for kayaking and trout fishing, or Cockermouth Golf Club (10 minutes) for a round or two. If you’ve got the kids with you, you may like to take a trip to the Lake District Wildlife Park; if not, a dram at the Lakes Distillery or a tour of Jennings Castle Brewery may be on the cards. And of course it’s always worth making a point of visiting the Derwent Pencil Museum, 15 minutes away in Keswick.
