Once again we thoroughly enjoyed our week on your beautiful farm. You create a friendly, helpful, free and happy atmosphere for your guests.
We admire your hard work, healthy well-kept animals and good land management. Your meat is delicious!
Thank you for your thoughtful provision for wheelchair users.
We recommend you to our friends and would love to come again
It's hard to put into words just how nice these cottages are. They have not simply been updated on a budget, they appear to have been updated to a specific level irrelevant of the cost. It's easy to see how they have made provision for the less-abled or wheel-chair users (wide doors and wetrooms) but none of these upgrades make the inside anything other than a great place to be - whoever you are!
And those views - especially on a clear sunny day! Amazing.
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.
Availability and Booking
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.
