Summary
The cottage is a cosy, well-located accommodation with great facilities, cleanliness, and comfort. It's suitable for walks and has friendly local amenities, though some noted the back garden isn't fully enclosed. Good communication from the owner adds to a stress-free experience. Guests expressed intentions to return.
The property
A charming and comfortably-furnished 400-year old terraced stone cottage, just a short walk from the centre of Alston, the highest market town in England, and the centre of five historic Pennine routes. The cottage is traditional and welcoming, with exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace and a warming woodburner-effect gas stove, and is ideal for a romantic break. Alston retains its traditional character, including a selection of pubs with open fires and real ales just a short walk from the cottage. There are walks onto the moors from the cottage, and the Pennine Way passes through the town, which is also on the C2C Cycle Route. With plenty of places to visit within an hour by car, including Hadrian's Wall, Beamish Open Air Museum, Durham Cathedral and the Lake District, this is a superb Alston cottage for a relaxing break.
