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 mi from the M6 and the Lake District. The Cumberland Hotel is an ideal stopping-off point on the C2C bike 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.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.4 for a two-person trip.

    Very friendly pub and staff. Outstanding breakfast cooked to order. Alston is surrounded by high fells and the roads are empty, unlike the Lake District.

    Great view, massive bedroom it was enormous and the king size bed was so soft it felt like sleeping on a cloud. Tea and coffee facilities were excellent, we had a cup of tea in the morning but forgot to eat the cookies 😞No doubt they were lovely...
