The Jinney
A warm welcome is guaranteed in the peaceful secluded surroundings of The Jinney. The name originates from the Jin case wheel which powered the grinding of the corn.
This lovely accommodation offers twin beds with your own personal 'postcard' view of the lake and has recently been fully updated throughout.
Dine in the comfort of the traditional cottage style pine finished kitchen/diner and watch the sailing boats on Bassenthwaite Lake.
Relax in the cosy lounge/diner with a video of your choice. To wash away those walking aches and pains the shower room provides hot water for those in need!
A beautiful, quite contemporary, newly-fitted kitchen complements the Jinney dining area.

We loved it and we can’t wait to come back! The cottage was perfect, superbly equipped, spotless and so comfortable. You seem to have thought of everything to make it welcoming for guests, especially for those with less mobility - from electric recliners and beds, wide doorways, grabrails and a totally accessible bathroom and no steps to negotiate.
We felt at home and welcome straight away. Irton House has been a godsend for us and makes us feel totally confident about being able to come back to our beloved Lakes.
We stayed at Irton House Farm for the 4th consecutive year this year and have booked again for next year because we love it so much there. Set in a quiet location we stayed in The Jinney which is a lovely comfortable cottage with an outstanding view of Bassenthwaite Lake, as has the new private patio.
Nic and Lindsay are friendly will leave you to it unless you have any problems when they are happy to do their best to help.
Always with disability in mind Lindsay has lots of suggestions of places to go to and there is a copy of Miles without Stiles in the cottage which we have found very useful.
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.
