14th-century Lake District hotel with self-catering apartments and roaming peacocks
Accommodation
Irton Hall offers Bed & Breakfast rooms in a 14th-century tower and converted ballroom, plus separate self-catering apartments across the grounds. All rooms include a flat-screen TV, iPod dock, and a spacious modern bathroom. The self-catering apartments range from two-bedroom cottages to a four-bedroom apartment sleeping up to 14 adults, with well-equipped kitchens and log burners in some units.
Dining
The on-site bar and restaurant serves locally sourced produce and local ales, with a menu that changes daily. Hearty full English breakfasts are offered in the lounge bar, alongside lighter continental options. The chef is noted for generous portions and home-cooked dishes such as beef Bourguignon and meat and potato pie.
