Tucked away in the peaceful countryside of Isel, near Cockermouth and Keswick, The Martins is a charming wheelchair-friendly three-bedroom holiday cottage set within the welcoming grounds of Irton House Farm. Perfectly blending comfort, accessibility, and rural charm, this beautifully converted barn sleeps up to six guests and offers an inclusive Lake District escape for families, friends, and guests with mobility needs.
Set on a traditional working sheep farm with sweeping views of the Northern Fells, The Martins forms part of a friendly holiday complex where guests are invited to enjoy farm tours, relax in shared outdoor spaces, and fully embrace the tranquillity of rural Cumbria. It’s a peaceful base that feels wonderfully remote, yet remains close to shops, attractions, and scenic walking routes.
Inside, the cottage is spacious and thoughtfully laid out. The ground floor is designed with accessibility in mind, featuring a cosy living area with a Freeview Smart TV, and a modern kitchen/diner equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The ground-floor bedroom includes zip-and-link single beds, making it ideal for guests who require step-free accommodation. Adjacent is a purpose-built shower room complete with grab rails and a fold-down shower seat for added support and convenience.
Upstairs, two beautifully furnished bedrooms await. One offers a luxurious super kingsize bed with an en-suite shower room, while the other features twin beds and an en-suite bathroom with a full-sized tub. Each room is decorated to a high standard and enjoys soothing countryside views.
Outside, a fully enclosed private garden with outdoor seating provides a peaceful spot to unwind, dine alfresco, or simply soak up the scenery. Guests can also enjoy the wider shared farm grounds, which include a fire pit, games room, and children’s play area. The level access and thoughtful adaptations throughout make The Martins an excellent choice for travellers requiring wheelchair-friendly accommodation.
With Keswick, Cockermouth, Skiddaw, Whinlatter Forest Park, and Bassenthwaite Lake all within easy reach, the location is ideal for exploring both the rugged and peaceful sides of the Lake District. Whether you’re seeking relaxation, adventure, or a blend of both, The Martins offers a warm welcome and a truly inclusive Lake District holiday experience.
