Great location, shame about the staff and management. We had thw worst evening ever and to make it worse the management were unhelpful and didn't resolve our problem of disgusting gone off food.

We stayed for three nights in one of the self catering apartments. Certainly spacious, and the setting is fantastic. The apartment itself was very tired. The towels were great, the bed linen fine, and the mattresses horrendous. Really nasty. We ate in the bar on...the first night and the food was very good. We had a good time, but this property could be so much better with a lick of paint and new mattresses.More

Excellent. spotless toilets.shame the drinks a ridiculously expensive .£6.50 for a pint of I.p.a .and £3for a small bitter lemon

We stayed for 2 nights in cottages on site. Cottages had all basic requirements for comfortable stay. They were set in tranquil and picturesque surroundings. The free range chickens and peacocks were very curious and came up to our window. The cottages were a little...bit run down and in need of renovation but for a short stay provided all we needed. We also ate at the restaurant which was good. We would stay again if we came to the Lakes.More

On Christmas day we ate our Christmas dinner at Irton Hall having booked, paid and placed our menu choices in advance as required. On arrival we were greeted with a smile and shown to our table in the dining room. All the staff were, without...exception, polite, friendly and professional. The food was also excellent and exceeded our expectations. My wife's gluten free requirements had been well catered for and did not disappoint. Afterwards we relaxed with coffee in the lounge, besides a roaring central log fire. Here again the bar manager was polite, professional and welcoming. We will definitely return in the new year. Thank you to all involved, who we must remember, even though getting paid, still gave up their Christmas day to make ours special.More

We stayed for one night with our new dog. The room was basic but perfectly fine and quiet. I think most of the staff were not in as it took a while to raise somebody yo the front desk to check in. There is a...cozy bar where we ate (as we had a dog) and breakfast was at the same table. The room was slightly dated but perfectly fine, quiet and had a comfy bed. The bathroom was superb with a large shower and Jacuzzi bath. Plenty of hot water.More

What a beautiful place to stay. We were at Irton Hall for two nights. The setting was tranquil, and the grounds surrounding the Hall were well kept and made an evening stroll before dinner easy, just what we needed after a long journey from our...home on the Outer Hebrides. The staff were so helpful and very friendly. We ate in the hotel both nights and the food was delicious. Our room was spacious, very comfortable and the ensuite bathroom with jacuzzi bath was fabulous especially after a hike up Scafell Pike! Jamie gave us a potted history of the Hall, thank you, Jamie. All in all we just couldn't fault it. We will be back.More

We booked our wedding at Irton Hall in April 2018 .. unfortunately due to covid this was postponed a couple of times but eventually took place on 03.09.2022 and I can honestly say the day was nothing but amazing. Tom and his gang have been...so helpful and accommodating the last 4 years absolutely nothing has been a problem whatever we have asked for! When we got to the venue everyone was greeted with nothing but smiles and nice cold welcome drinks .. and the most delicious canapés!! (The Sour Cream and Chive Taties were wow)!! .. I’ve never had so many guests say ‘this was genuinely the nicest wedding meal we’ve ever had’ and I can certainly vouch for it! Everything was piping hot from the bride / groom been served first to the last table there was definitely no cold gravy or veg to be complained about and the meats just fell apart! .. The evening food was to the same highest standard and again it was nothing but raved about with so many people running for seconds!! The food was a massive bonus, but to us the staff absolutely made the day that bit more special. There wasn’t anything that they couldn’t do for you and couldn’t be anymore accommodating if they tried! We had the undercover waiters and attempted a conga with all the guests which the Irton hall waiters joined in with .. just awesome!! If you want a venue that looks after you from the moment you book and comes with absolutely no faults just the highest standards and the happiest of staff then Irton Hall is definitely the one. Thanks again Tom and team, genuinely wouldn’t of had the day we had if we were anywhere else!! XMore

Nice, friendly accommodation and food. Stayed in one of the cottages, and we had dinner in the restaurant. Cottage was clean, comfortable, well equipped. For one night it was much better value than booking 2 hotel rooms for 2 couples, especially with the price of...some Lake District hotels. We had access to the beautiful grounds of the hall, with peacocks, chickens, geese wandering around happily, and some terrific rare breed pigs to be able to visit. We ate in the restaurant which was also good value, and a good range of good food, to suit vegans, meat eaters, and fish lovers. The staff were all very friendly, helpful, and quick to help out.More

Enjoyed a fabulous week in the Clock Tower. Staff were all lovely and always willing to help. Dined in the restaurant where the food was superb! Beautiful location with lots of wildlife about and nice grounds to have a stroll around. There were just a...few criticisms which if addressed would make this a 5/5 venue: the Clock Tower building is in need of some TLC (e.g. leaky window and door frames when raining), some customers may find that the wheelchair access en suite would benefit from grab rails by the toilet and a shower seat, could do with a bit more crockery given the Clock Tower accomodates 10 people. All in all, a wonderful stay, would 100% recommend and hope to return in the future.More

Stayed in one of the cottages for a week - rest of the family in the Clock Tower. Beautiful setting for this hotel and self-catering units. We were very comfortable in the cottage - very clean and it had almost everything we needed, except the...crockery was a bit thin on the gound. This wasn't such an issue, as we spent most of our on-site time in the Clock Tower with the rest of the family. Had we been staying alone (3 of us), I would have been asking for a few more dinner plates (only 2 in the property - the rest were side plates, and not too many of those either). A few rotten window frames here and there (the upstairs landing!), but the weather was warm and mostly dry, so it wasn't a problem for us. We had dinner in the hotel 2 nights. It was very nice, plentiful and reasonable value. Service was fast and efficient. Jamie in the bar did a sterling job as waiter and receptionist as well, and goodness knows what else he turned his hand to! A real asset to the Hall. Would consider staying again, but might try B&B in the main hall next time. The area around is wonderful - lots to see and do within easy distance. We definitely got to see this part of Cumbria at its very best.More

We have had a fantastic family week holiday at Iron Hall, Warwick and his team could not off made us all feel more welcome. Our family room was lovely, great bathroom and cleaned every day. Breakfast was delicious and a great choice and we ate...dinner there 5 nights out of 7. I have been a Catering Manager for over 40 years and this has too be the best place I've eaten. Excellent presentation, Tasty, hot and excellent service. We ate at their sister pub the Bridge Inn the other two nights, where again the service and food was first class. Warwick and his team really made our holiday a great one. We were a party of 10, staying in 4 rooms and we all had a superb holiday. We will definitely be back.More
