The Location is Beautiful, Grounds are very well maintained with stunning views of the hills. The actual building we stayed in was fantastic for the space you get and the facilities. We made use of the bbq and the huge oven upstairs aswel as playing pool and table football.
Plenty of beds which aren't crammed in, great for 3 small families or group stays. Can't speak highly enough, I will be going back hopefully end of Aug as just around the corner is a beautiful lake which is crystal clear and so serene :-)

Amazing location and amazing hotel. We loved our stay however it could do with some refurbishment.
It is a dog friendly place so maybe could do with a deep clean in the restaurant area. The food was good but all the dog hair everywhere was a bit unpleasant.
However we would still come back.

Irton Hall is a historic property in a quiet part of the Lake District but near to Eskdale, Wasdale and Ravenglass. They have kept the original buildings (no concrete hotel block behind) and the open lawn, across which a multitude of peacocks march around. The food in the bar was far better than normal bar food - my venison must have been stewed for hours, it was so dark, rich and tasty! Game pie was good too.

The staff were all exceptional, friendly and very polite and approachable.
We were Checked in really quickly and given our room key .(no16) the room was huge and really nice. The view over the grounds with mountains was just perfect. Bed was really comfy, with crisp white bedding and nice pillows.Bathroom was great. Powerful shower, and a Jacuzzi bath which was very much needed after climbing Scafell Pike. Which was only 25mins drive away..
Breakfast and evening meals were really good too. Overall a really nice couple of nights stay over on our first trip to The Lakes. Overall excellent stay in this hidden gem in The Lakes, Thankyou to all

Shower was powerful with plenty of hot water. Really enjoyed the breakfast. The full English was not fatty and to be offered haggis as well was a bonus. A really characterful venue which was relaxing and set in superb grounds. Loved this place being fairly remote. Just a perfect retreat.

The cottage that i booked was no good for a family with a toddler as there is steep stairs with not gate, this was sold as a property for a family when it isnt, the hotel wanted me to pay a extra £100 to switch to the hotel

I was moved cottages also because the first one smelt of damp

due to all of this we where unable to say and due to the terms and condingtions we couldnt even get a refund

A most enjoyable short break for the Western lakes. Major pluses were the hotel grounds, the excellent quality, presentation and variety of food served both for breakfast and dinner, and especially the friendly and helpful members of staff.
A slight minus for our room (6) which was on the small side and could have done with a bit of freshening up. It was however the entry level room and was very clean, especially the bathroom.
Overall we were very happy with the value for money and would certainly revisit when in that area of the Lakes

If the idea of staying in an English country home appeals to you, then this is your type of place. The staff are helpful and attentive to all guests need. The tall server to staying here is the quality of food available at very reasonable prices. On the menu were staples such as Haddock and chips, Shin of beef, Sirloin steak, Lasagna and a number of great desserts including a thoroughly decadent tackle dessert. The restaurant also serves a full English breakfast as well as Eggs Benedict.

The property is secluded and the grounds are well maintained and have an assortment of animals patrolling, including peacocks.

Well worth the visit. Give it a try.
