Brimming with contemporary country flair and featuring a lovely, planted garden, this striking stone house boasts an ideal location in England’s highest town of Alston. Accommodating up to eight guests across four beautiful bedrooms, this property provides the perfect backdrop for a reunion with your outdoorsy friends or a relaxing family getaway, with room for a couple of waggy-tailed group members. Amble along the woodland path from Ashgill Bridge to witness the cascading waterfall of Ashgill Force (5 miles) – the perfect spot for a brisk wild dip! End the day lounging beneath the wooden pergola with a round of beers and pizzas fresh from the wood-fired oven.

This period home features a rich and sophisticated interior with quilted textures, stone fireplaces, coordinated soft furnishings, and bright bay windows. Kick off boots in the hallway then gather in the cosy lounge for a post-adventure debrief. Crack open the chocolates and sip a brew while relaxing in the glow of the wood burner. Browse the built-in bookshelf and curl up with a captivating holiday read. Mark your special occasion with an evening soiree in the airy diner, and feast bathed in the glow of the opulent chandelier. Keen cooks will be in their element rustling up snacks in the stylish shaker kitchen. Nominate a bartender from your group to shake up some cocktails on the glossy worktops then gather for a pre-dinner drinks reception. For the adventurers, freshen up outdoor kit in the handy utility space before turning in for the night. Ascend the staircase to find four tastefully appointed bedrooms, each with a distinct character. Relax amongst checked throws, plump throw pillows, and cosy reading nooks. Outside, soak in the tranquillity of the secluded garden with an al fresco morning spread or sink onto the padded outdoor furniture with a coffee.

We had a great weekend in the gorgeously renovated Salvin House. A lovely, grand old house that was super-comfortable and well-equipped. A really beautiful house in a gorgeous little town. We had a great time. Thank you!!!! Great food at The Cumberland Inn and Alston House. Id definitely recommend staying here.
