Everything !! Beautifully decorated and clean. The host left us a welcome pack including a bottle of Prosecco. Thank you ! It was absolutely fabulous and we will definitely go back. Alston is lovely with nice pubs, everyone friendly and a fabulous cafe called Cobbles Cafe which we would highly recommend for breakfast or cake.

The house is superb, the hosts helpful and I thought the provision of dog towels was a very nice touch although I had brought my own. I just wish I could have stayed longer 11/10.

A lovely setting for walks, and visiting the lakes and Hadrians Wall. The hot tub on an evening was a firm favourite with our daughter. On arrival they had left a pint of milk, biscuits, tea and coffee which was greatly appreciated. You can walk to Alston easily along the Penine way, and the two pubs are very friendly and do great food. We had a morning on the South Tyneside Railway which our daughter loved.
