    The cottage was spotlessly clean, well presented and reasonably well equipped. The hosts were very helpful and friendly.

    Beautiful little cottage in a beautiful location. Perfect for a quiet get away. This is one of those places where as soon as you walk through the door it feels like home. There are some lovely walks in the area. Hope to be back soon.

    We thought the cottage was really lovely. Fantastic facilities and general high standard throughout. Jan was very helpful to deal with prior to our stay.

Rebecca, Jan and Dan
In the heart of the Pennine way, our lovely cottage sits on a working farm near the beautiful town of Alston. It boasts three god sized bedrooms. One with an en-suite.
Run o our family farm by husband and wife Dan and Becca and Becca's mam, Jan. Dan runs the farming business whilst Becca manges the children's nursery which is just next door. Janet is a nurse and helps with the cottage on he days off.
We are located just outside of Alston. It is a short drive into town or there are some lovely walks. We are about 40 minutes away from the lake District and only 30 minutes from the Roman wall too! Locally, there are many things to do and some fabulous small businesses along with restaurants, cafes and pubs.
