A wonderful place to stay. Jim, the host, was so kind. He arranged dinner for us when we were late arriving, he looked after our bikes, gave us a splendid breakfast. Amazingly huge trees in the garden. We loved it!

Alston is the highest market town in England and is 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.

This wee country pub and hotel was a delight to stay in.

Alston House is an AA 4-star restaurant with rooms, and has an AA Dinner Award.

The hotel's pub restaurant offers hearty British fare accompanied with a well-selected wine list, Real Ales and traditional beers, all to be enjoyed in front of a log fire in winter.

Very welcoming staff and very comfortable room. Food was excellent. We came here as a stop off on our way through the area and we've booked to return next month when we travel back this way again.

    Comfortable quiet bedroom in a generally well maintained hotel. Great selection of evening meals at the attached pub/bar. Decent cooked English breakfast with some other options including veggie plus selection of cereals, fruit and yogurt. I feel that the hotel is competently run and that the proprietors have tried to provide a good guest experience. Great location in the middle of amazing scenery with plenty of places to visit within an hours drive. I’d have been happy to stay longer.

    This is a very quaint hotel situated in an area of outstanding beauty....(unfortunately the weather was very wet, so we didn't get to fully appreciate the scenery). The staff were very welcoming, the service, very efficient, and for anyone travelling with their favourite 4 leg companion, dogs were very welcome in the bar. A lock up was also available for cyclists. Our room was very quiet...(stairs a little squeaky!) and our bed was so comfy, a lovely deep sleep after dinner in the restaurant. A lovely breakfast was served next morning.

    Lovely location. Quiet and with lots of wildlife. We saw woodpeckers, pheasants, owls and lots of smaller birds such as Bullfinch ,chaffinch etc. The hosts were lovely people and made sure we had everything we needed.

    I booked this cottage based on the leading photograph on the booking.com page. It did not disappoint. Thank you to the hosts for the excellent eggs. A kind thought. The sheep and lambs in the field. The cottage facilities provided by the thoughtful hosts, with charming decorative touches.

    It's a charming hotel, and the staff are lovely and hard-working. It definitely has an old world ambience. My room was very clean, and nicely tidied while I was out. Breakfast was tasty, and I had a nice glass of wine in an otherwise empty lounge at night. I could have chosen to go to the bar, but preferred the quiet. Great location for cycling and hiking, and will definitely return. Lovely garden. Had a pleasant chat with a young man who works there, and who helped me out when I struggled with my door lock!
