Beautiful Irton Hall.
Pros:

The hall and grounds, the friendly staff, the breakfast, the grey lady and the pigs and peacocks are all the things we liked, and also very dog friendly.

We stayed 2 nights while exploring the south-western area of the Lake District and would definitely return to this prope
Pros:

A beautiful setting and a convenient location. Set it its own grounds with plenty of parking. Breakfast excellent as was the evening meal, with a varied menu. It was lovely to spend time watching the peacocks and hens as well.

Cons:

There was nothing to dislike. We couldn’t fault our stay at all.

perfect weekend, stay and lovely area to explore
Pros:

The House, the surroundings and the breakfast were really lovely. Good base for exploring. Staff were all very nice, and the peacocks were noisy. If you are lucky, there are free eggs at reception to take home. The bar was well stocked and food prices in the restaurant were very reasonable.

Cons:

Our room was just a little dark (no 8)

Gorgeous place, lovely staff and grounds
Pros:

Absolutely gorgeous place. I love that the animals and free and roaming around and the grounds are kept immaculate.

Cons:

The cottage could’ve done with a bit of tlc, carpets had patches (dog friendly) so we can complain, the wardrobe was a bit flimsy too.

A great weekend break in a lovely location with everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
Pros:

Location is fabulous, particularly for Scafell Pike. Our room was well equipped and comfortable and the food was very good. All the staff were friendly, helpful and hard working.

Cons:

Some inconsiderate fellow guests in one of the self catering properties took their party outside at 2.30 in the morning! Not the hotels fault though.
