Liked: Lovely campsite with a beautiful view. We loved the wheelbarrows and the animals on the farm. Hot showers and clean washing up area. Easy to find and easy reach to lakes/hikes etc Plenty of field space for the children to play on. We are looking forward to returning in the near future.

Liked: Fantastic location with great views. Small site with a few pitches on 2 fields so felt very small. Great toilet blocks - modern and very clean. We really loved our stay and we’ll definitely visit again.

Liked: Loved everything! Third time going back to Irton House Farm. We've been with family and friends and on our own. The most spectacular views no matter what time or where you are on there. I'm excited to see the new added feature which is hopefully completed by September. The new astro terf pitches that have been added and updates around the farm make a massive difference. It's perfect for families or couples. They have disabled access and amenities. Lovely and clean and the owners are lovely and generally working on the farm so if you need anything they are there.

Liked: Lovely view, very well kept toilets. Very peaceful and loved all the chickens wandering around.

From the manager: I sometimes think the chickens should have their own Facebook page, as they seem to good everywhere. Great review thank you.
One of, if not the best campsite we've been to.

Liked: Where to begin, liked that all pitches were on astroturf - other campsites could learn from this! Made things much easier when packing up. The location was idyllic, not too far from town and the views were excellent. A beautiful river walk just minutes from the campsite kept the dog cool in the heat. Toilets were clean all weekend, and done to a nice standard. (although only 4 toilets, we never queued to use them) We booked to use the hot-tub on the Sunday and where it's situated meant we could take our dog as it was in an enclosed area so he could free roam - the hot-tub and prosecco package is worth it for the views alone.
Disliked: N/A

From the manager: Brilliant and detailed review thanks. Good to hear you enjoyed everything and that the hot tub/swim spa added something extra to your celebrations.

Liked: Fantastic views of Bassenthwaite Lake and Skiddaw. Very well kept site run by very friendly and hard work owners. Good standard of washroom/toilet and pot cleaning facilities. A great place to stay in the north lakes with good road links to Keswick, Cockermouth and surrounding area. We were very lucky that there was only us and a couple of other groups onsite, but they all said it had been very full over the bank holiday weekend. Be mindful that there are limited toilet and shower facilities so pick the right time of day for a wash and brush up. Extremely clean too.
Disliked: No complaints for me.

Liked: Warm and Friendly welcome. A bottle of wine as a gift to compensate for noise coming from improvement to site facilities. Genuinely disabled friendly facilities. Well managed and cared for site. Set in a stunningly beautiful location. Best toilets and showers ever encountered. Owners go out of their way to provide for needs of clients.
Disliked: Rain
