Self Catering Cottages
Irton House Farm has a selection of five cottages, all which have a unique character and, most importantly, all have been updated with those less mobile in mind. Having taken guidance from our customers we have kitchens that have wheel-under sinks and hobs, bathrooms that have lowered vanities and mirrors as well as wheel-over shower decks or shower chairs. Even the bedrooms have been adapted with such things as low hanging wardrobe space and wheel under dressing tables, some are also now fitted with electrically controlled single beds.

EV Owners please note: The cottages and farm electrical sockets are not suitable for charging Electric Vehicles (EV’s) as this puts excess unplanned load on our limited farm electrical infrastructure. We are also prohibited, in our contract with our commercial electricity provider, from re-selling their electricity to third parties. Electric vehicle charging is therefore not permitted at this time. A list of available charge points is available via this link.
We provide charging for disability scooters and w/chairs free located in the Games Room.
Irton House Farm - Site Plan
Irton House Farm is a working sheep farm. The self-catering cottages (A -E on the plan) were originally converted from some of the farm outbuildings so sit close to the farmhouse and are easily accessible from the yard.
The pitches (1 - 6 on the plan) in the Orchard are accessed by the lane on the left just as you approach the farm from the road (to Orchard Car Park on plan). Pitches 7 to 12, in the Paddock, are accessed through the farm-yard.
All access roads are well maintained concrete giving way to grass once actually on the fields themselves.
Prices and availability for the cottages can be viewed on our Availability page whilst the same for the van/tent pitches is via our entry on PitchUp.com.
Please note that only pitch 7 (Causey) and pitch 8 (Wythop) have hard standing and are suitable for caravans. All have electric hookup - NOT suitable for EV charging.
