Welcome

Welcome to Woodlands House and Cottage in the peaceful north Cumbrian village of Ireby.


A former Victorian rectory, offering licensed bed and breakfast accommodation with many original features and modern comforts, in individually styled rooms. Our accompanying converted stable block offers a self-contained cottage for those seeking a self-catering option.


Seated in just under an acre of grounds it affords stunning views over the northern fells of Cumbria towards Skiddaw, Binsey and the pastures of Caldbeck and Boltongate. Our restaurant, lounge, bar and gardens are open to non-residents too; please see our Dine page for more details.


Whether your visit brings you here for adventure in the fells, peace from the bustle of city life or for family celebrations, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them." 🥀
('For the fallen' Robert Laurence Binyon, 1869-1943)

Today is RSPB 'Feed the birds day'.🐦

Birds are a key part of the biodiversity in our gardens and you'll find plenty of feeders about the place to observe them.  In addition to this, to our wildflower meadows attract a host of invertebrates and pollinators, and provide seed heads, alongside fruit trees and berry-bearing bushes creating vital food sources all year round.  If you listen carefully at night you'll hear our owl families chattering with eachother🦉!

Celebrating a special occasion?🥂
We go the extra mile! 

In support of our local Women's Institute's 100th birthday celebrations we created a classic Victoria sandwich cake with an extra bit of glamour for their monthly coffee and cake meeting.  Decorated with handcrafted sugar roses 🌹 and leaves in WI colours, and sunflowers 🌻for their association with leukaemia research (thanks to the 'Calendar Girls'), all hand painted in edible gold silk. 🎂
