Alston, Cumbria
England's Highest Hideaway
The Story
A secluded country house hotel beside the River Nent, just outside Alston — England's highest market town. Three acres of gardens, a wood-panelled dining room, and the wild beauty of the North Pennines all around. A genuine hidden gem. It is made for quiet walking weekends where seclusion, big skies and North Pennines access are the main luxuries.
