“Very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent beer!!”

Keith, Great Yarmouth
September 12, 2011

This family-run, 5-bedroom traditional pub overlooks the River South Tyne. It has traditional cider and cask ales, homemade bar meals and welcoming, friendly staff.

Alston is the highest market town in England and is 18 miles (29 km) from the M6 and the Lake District. The Cumberland Hotel is an ideal stopping-off point on the C2C cycle route and Pennine Way.

Some bedrooms have beautiful views with a backdrop of the North Pennines.

There is secure storage for bicycles and dogs, as well as a beer garden and a patio. There are opportunities to walk, hike, cycle and play golf in the local area. The South Tynedale Railway is not far.

Keith Group of friends burscough, United Kingdom July 13, 2011	Informal and relaxed hotel with friendly and helpful staff. Provided non alcoholic drinks and one off meal for one person which was not on the menu. Did you find this review helpful?	8.8
David Solo traveler Guisborough, United Kingdom June 27, 2011	Good beers and food The Pub and Hotel are both suffering from the general economic recession. The decor is old, the bathroom, because of its age was prone to black mold. Probable recent bathroom repairs or alterations had left unpainted areas. The on-the-wall fixing of the ancient and tiny TV meant that it could not be watched in bed. Did you find this review helpful?	6.7
Ray Group of friends Barnsley, United Kingdom May 21, 2011	Dont be put off by the exterior. It does look a bit tatty, but inside it is warm, comfortable and welcoming. All of the staff we met were outstandingly helpful and the food was great pub standard. The establishment has won the local CAMRA pub of the year award for three tears running so unsurprisingly the real ale and cider is first class. Magnificent views over the hills and a quoits pitch in the garden - perfect. Cant think of any improvements, except the general upgrades which are steadily being completed.

Anonymous Young couple United Kingdom May 8, 2011	Good dinner. Excellent breakfast. Nice staff. Bed was comfy. Crisp sheets, soft pillows.................... Room was tired. Could do with a spruce up. Not homely or comfortable but alright for an overnight stay. Would be a bit disappointed if had booked for a longer break. Room was cool at night. Went to bed with my socks on as no heating during overnight stay. Did you find this review helpful?	5.8
