Lowbyer Manor Country House  

Very friendly and comfortable. Easy to find. Quiet.

It was a lovely friendly relaxed atmosphere which was what we were looking for, immaculate and good food.

I enjoyed being welcomed by the friendly staff with tea and coffee. The room was very comfortable and the guest lounge was peaceful and relaxing. As I was running the great north run Linda, the owner, made our breakfast earlier so we could make it to Newcastle.

Everything was excellent.

The owners were friendly and helpful and breakfast was good.

The rooms were a little 'tired' and dated and the showers were like caravan shower cubicles .The sliding door into our bathroom was extremely noisy and could be heard in the room next door every time it was opened and closed.

Richard and Laura are the perfect hosts and made us feel extremely welcome. Our room was very clean and comfortable, we enjoyed a pleasant night's sleep. The cosy snug bar was a bonus and lovely to sit and enjoy a drink before going out for dinner in the evening and the dining room was laid out very nicely with everything you could want at breakfast. The cooked breakfast was five star!

The welcome on a rainy evening was lovely. The owners knew my name and nothing was too much trouble. I stayed in the single room so it was not, by it's nature, the most luxurious but I asked to see some other rooms for future stays and they range from basic to luxurious so let them know what you want when you book. Sitting in the lounge was like going back in time. I only stayed one night but I enjoyed it. Lots of choice for breakfast. Big English looked good, if you are into that.

I booked three rooms for our party. We had a lovely room, and access to the lounge and bar as well. Breakfast was fantastic, and I particularly liked being able to do my own toast when I wanted it. The hotel is in a good location on the outskirts of Alston, within walking distance of a pub and hotel where you could eat in the evening. Laura and Richard were very helpful. I left my house keys in a drawer and they were sent immediately I informed them.

Interesting building, good breakfast, pleasant proprietors.

Bedroom was fairly small - but that was a function of the age of the building.

Very warm welcome by owners, and great value for money. The breakfast was excellent.

Maybe the parking area, but nothing can be done about this, so a very minor quibble!!

The couple who ran the hotel were very obliging and the breakfast was plentiful, both choice and amount.

Very friendly couple running the hotel. Would certainly stay there again.

Quiet and secluded area to explore with red squirrrels on site, accomodation and staff superb, nothing too much bother to them. Other guests all our own age group 40-60 so no noise or disturbance. Room quaint and clean and breakfast spot on.
