Front Street, Alston, CA9 3SE, United Kingdom –

Lock in a great price for Victoria Inn - rated 8 by recent guests.

to get started.

The landlady is a real honey - and her breakfasts are huge!

Peter, United Kingdom

The landlady was this wee Chinese lady who chatted away 10 to the dozen. really pleasant though. The room was big, a wee bit old but spacious. I don't know if this is good or bad, I came down in the morning and she gave me a full English breakfast. Personally, I love an English breakfast, the quality was pretty good and it was well cooked. So no issue for me, I just wonder if someone else might want a wee bit of a choice. The countryside is lovely and the village has a chip shop and a supermarket. Landlady allows you to bring in food. The building itself is a pub

Mark, United Kingdom

The lady that worked there looked after us so well as we were knackerd after day1 of the c2c

Georgie, United Kingdom

Very friendly landlady, basic but spacious and comfortable rooms, and wonderful location.

Patrick, United Kingdom

Very reasonably priced especially for a single ensuite. Very comfy bed and central location in Alston. Cooked breakfast was exactly what I required before a long walk, served with plenty of good coffee.Friendly staff.

Deirdre, United Kingdom

The landlady is fantastic. My son and I needed basic cheap and cheerful accommodation whilst we visited the sights of hadrians wall. We had two single rooms on the top floor. They were clean and simple and had use of a shared bathroom. The breakfast was excellent and frankly for the price charged I would defy anyone to do better. Alston itself seems a little run down but we found a good eatery nearby. I would definitely stay here again for a basic good value b&b for a few days.

Frazer, United Kingdom

Friendly, welcoming Landlady. Central location in picturesque village. Public parking opposite.

Christopher, United Kingdom

Paul, United Kingdom

The TV was not completely straightforward. batteries needed to be fiddled with. Missed ten minutes of my film trying to get the channel then it insisted on updating itself and resetting. Towels were warm, clean and fresh but had some tears and were fairly warn. There is nothing here to put you off though.

The carpets were literally threadbare. The hotel is above the local bar where all the (assume) jobless chavs spend our taxes. Dressed in their top of line chavvy trainers and tracksuits and screaming expletives at each other until 1am. And that’s not just the young lads. It’s the older women as well. You’d think that the staff of a hotel would demand better behaviour from the locals. It’s certainly not anywhere you would take your family. If you’ve ever seen League of Gentleman you’ll get an idea of what Alston is like.
The bed was comfy. The landlady was very friendly and helpful. She made a lovely breakfast.
