The Martins – Accessible Lake District Holiday Cottage

Tucked away in the peaceful countryside of Isel, near Cockermouth and Keswick, The Martins is a charming, wheelchair-accessible three-bedroom holiday cottage on 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 unforgettable Lake District experience for families, friends, and those with additional access needs.

Set on a working sheep farm with sweeping views of the Northern Fells, The Martins is part of a friendly holiday complex where guests are invited to enjoy farm tours, relax in shared outdoor spaces, and immerse themselves in the tranquil beauty of rural Cumbria.

Inside, the property is spacious and thoughtfully designed. On the ground floor, you’ll find a cosy living area with a Freeview Smart TV, a fully equipped kitchen/diner complete with modern appliances, and a bedroom with zip-and-link single beds—ideal for guests requiring ground-floor accommodation. A purpose-built shower room with grab rails and a fold-down shower seat ensures convenience and comfort for all.

Upstairs, two tastefully decorated bedrooms await. One offers a luxurious super kingsize bed and an en-suite shower room, while the other features twin beds and an en-suite bathroom with a full-sized tub. All rooms are furnished to a high standard and enjoy countryside views.

Step outside to your own enclosed garden with outdoor seating—perfect for soaking up the scenery or enjoying a quiet drink. Guests can also make use of the farm’s shared grounds, including a fire pit, games room, and play area for children. With level access and thoughtful adaptations throughout, the property is especially suited to guests with mobility requirements.

Explore the vibrant nearby towns of Keswick and Cockermouth—both within a short drive—offering lakeside walks, historic sites, markets, and family attractions.
