What they Say?

"A wonderful find - highly recommended!"
"Every once in a while, you come across a place like this - majestic, tranquil, steeped in history and heritage. If you’re looking for spectacular views, a place to stroll, and a place to relax, this is it! When we arrived, we were intent on checking in and immediately heading out sightseeing. But one look at this place, with its classic architecture, shaded picnic tables, free-range chickens, plus resident peacock - and we just decided to just stay put!”

What they Say?

"What a brilliant place!"
“Came to Irton Hall for two nights with my sister, together with my other sister and her husband. It was a last-minute getaway and we absolutely loved it! The setting is stunning and the grounds are well kept; the rooms were clean and entirely adequate for our needs. The staff were all, without exception, lovely and friendly – plus they were exceptionally knowledgeable about the area. We ate in the restaurant on the first night and the bar on the second night. Both meals were very good and excellent value for money.”

"Stunning - it really is a hidden jewel!"
"We had a brilliant time during our stay, and coming along the drive to see that spectacular view of the hotel and grounds was eye-opening! We came with our border collie, who had a great time running in the grounds and playing with the owner's dogs. The rooms were clean, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the beds were super-comfy – in fact, the comfiest we've ever had!”
