    A beautiful and tranquil small town with awesome countryside...

    A beautiful and tranquil small town with awesome countryside and beautiful walks. Unfortunately, many local businesses have closed but there is a great take-away shop (Jack's) and a fantastic pub (The Cumberland Inn). The locals are fighting back and I wish them well with their Enterprise Town. If you are looking to get away and experience some beautiful solitude this is a great place to visit - just be careful and don't choose the accommodation I did (see my review). There are lots of hills, even in the town, and the pavements can be tricky. It's a long way from Melbourne, Australia but I hope to be back one day. I hear that there's a steam train that runs in the summer and I would love to experience it.

    When 2 grandparents are travelling with a teenage grandson,...

    When 2 grandparents are travelling with a teenage grandson, it’s not easy to find a place that it warm and inviting and meets all our needs. Lovelady Shield House Hotel was perfect! The online ratings for this property were out of date - it was perfect in every way. The rooms were lavish and beautifully presented with the best quality fittings and fixtures. This property has been recently upgraded and restored sympathetically with its history.The staff were so warm and friendly and made us feel at home. The breakfast was amazing and although they are not currently serving dinner the pub just a mile down the road was brilliant. Located near the geographic centre of the UK there is so much to see nearby with Hadrians Wall Romans Forts and much more. We loved this property and cannot praise it highly enough 10/10.

    A beautiful town with some lovely pubs and restaurants.

    A beautiful town with some lovely pubs and restaurants. Cumberland arms was our favourite with nice food and amazing views on the beer garden /large balcony outside. Very quiet, chatty, friendly staff at the pubs but not a lively late night nightlife. We went for peace and quiet which is exactly what we got. Some. Beautiful walks with Ashgill waterfall a few minutes drive. Most impressive waterfall in seen in the UK! We got to stand behind it and touch it which I've only done at niagara! Will definitely be returning here

    9 out of 10 from me! The location is perfect in my eyes.

    9 out of 10 from me! The location is perfect in my eyes. Set in beautiful scenery, it's quiet yet the walk to Alston town centre is only 5-10 minutes. The guest house itself is beautiful. There is a lovely lounge, a quaint and vintage hallway, a lovely area for eating and of course the lovely bedrooms that are on offer. Everything has character and I even got to play on the piano they have in the hallway! The food, absolutely stunning 10 out of 10. Breakfast is what me and mum had, so generous in terms of quality and qunatity. You also get to choose what you want and what you don't want. It was one of the best breakfasts I've had. Bedroom. We had the twin bed bedroom, Room 1. Absolutely love the layout, the quaint feeling inside and the bathroom and showed worked absolutely fine with minimal issues (slightly stiff to get going but fine once going!) My only negative...and it is a minor thing... It could have been a tad warmer, but then we went at a very cold spell and we were the only ones in the manor house at the time. There was heating, and a generous amount coming out from the radiator at the cold times of day. My advice to others would be to bring some extra layers in patticularly cold seasons when its below freezing!

    Beautiful little village with such charming shops and houses...

    Beautiful little village with such charming shops and houses. A very close knit community and also friendly. The houses/dwellings are full of history and are kept so clean. They have local pubs The Turks Head, which we visited, they have a gorgeous cider called Friels, refreshing on a hot day. They were so kind, as they provided a bowl of water for our 2 little dogs! A local co-op, post office, chippy and kebab house Tonys, we had food from there last night, the pizza and Donner kebab was to die for! Definitely 5 star! The church in the town is the main feature and soaked in history. You can walk to any of these facilities. We found a river side walk out dogs loved it, we spotted a beautiful Shire horse and Shetland pony just grazing in a huge field, the weather was perfect, it has been a delightful break away from busy Blackpool.

    Perfect apartment with everything we could need in the very best possible location in Alston. Huge room with lovely kitchen and very comfortable (big) bed. The town is lovely with a supermarket literally on the doorstep and the friendliest pub you could ever hope for right next door. And all around superb walks - some from the apartment but with a host of others within a short drive. This really is the most wonderful hideaway nest from which to explore this amazing part of England.

    The Inn owners are new so don't be swayed by historic negative reviews. We stayed at The Angel Inn whilst walking the South Tyne Trail, not only was it a fabulous location within easy reach of the trail but the hosts were second to none too. They even dried our clothes and boots after we got caught in a heavy shower. Vegetarians catered for at breakfast. The hotel was a great location for those doing the pennine way too. Exceptional value for money

    Very lovely cottage on a farm. Excellent accommodations for our family with 3 comfy bedrooms and 3 bathrooms! Modern kitchen and comfy living room with wood stove. Wonderful place to come back to after day of exploring N. Pennines or Hadrians Wall. 1 mile from small village of Alston with gas station and pubs. The Cumberland is a wonderful local pub. The Cottage is the best place we’ve stayed on our 2 week UK tour!

    What a wonderfully secluded retreat. Coming down from the road, we were in awe of the beautiful surrounding landscape. We had a very friendly welcome and throughout our visit, staff could not have been more helpful. The location of the hotel is in fantastic countryside next to a small stream. All you hear on the grounds is the stream and the little lambs and sheep in the fields. A true country house.

    The staff were very helpful, kind, and caring. Lovely location lovely views the cottage was very clean and nice and warm . Food in the main hotel was very nice and reasonable priced. If you book directly with them, you get it cheaper. Sadly, I didn't know at the time . Overall the staff and the cottage made my holiday really enjoyable couldn't thank them enough for a great holiday.

    Oh this is a jewel in a tiny town! Clean is an understatement! Absolutely everything under one roof. The decor is second to none! A little difficult to find, but with helpful residents of Alston, we managed. The lovely Claire (caretaker) looked after any of our needs. Thank you! Relaxing accommodation, you bet.. Sylvia and Peter you should be proud?!!

    The hotel was tired, but bed was comfortable, breakfast offered a good range and was excellent. Our evening meal in the Inn, attached, was disappointing, but not expensive. We would have liked to sample the hotel restaurant which is only open over the weekend.
