Self catering in Holmrook

Irton Hall is a stunning holiday location with impressive history, set in the foothills of the Western fells of the Lake District between Wasdale and Eskdale. Parts of the magnificent Hall, such as the Pele Tower, date from the 14th century. Broughton House forms the west wing of Irton Hall, where spacious elegant rooms, chandeliers and a grand staircase with stained glass windows make this a dream holiday venue. Copeland is the centre section of the Hall, next to the original Pele Tower, and what was once an 18th century ballroom is now the very spacious lounge/dining room. The marble floors, tall ceilings and chandeliers create an opulent holiday environment. Both Oliver Cromwell and Henry VI visited the Hall, although it is reputed that Henry VI was refused entry and spent the night under the 1000 year old oak tree in front of the house, known as ‘The King’s Oak’.
