Escape to this three-storey townhouse in Alston on that larger group break you have been planning. Sleeping eight guests, the four-bedroom hideaway is perfect for a party of couples or two families together. Based within the town, it makes an exceptionally convenient base for getting out and about in Cumbria and Northumberland. Explore the dramatic North Pennines and the picturesque Northumberland National Park from here.
Make your way into the property, which has been recently upgraded, to find yourselves in an airy open-plan lounge/kitchen. Sink back into the plump leather sofas to rest and recuperate after your long hikes and exciting explorations. Enjoy a film on the Smart TV in the cosy glow of the wood burner-effect electric fire on crisp autumn days. Choose a DVD and watch a gripping film together. Amble through to the generous kitchen to prepare the next tasty meal, keeping the back door open on fine days. The gorgeous wooden dining table back through in the main room is a great spot for these holiday feasts. As each wonderful day away draws to a close, climb the stairs to your bedrooms and bathrooms. On the first floor, a double and a king-size bedroom await. The family bathroom is also here. Another twin and a second double, both with charming, vaulted ceilings, are on the top floor, together with a family shower room. Unwind out in the sunshine of the sunny walled courtyard as often as possible. Enjoy summer lunches and evening cocktails out here. Free parking is available in a nearby car park, subject to availability.
Explore the cobbled streets and potter in the enticing independent shops of England’s highest market town. Take a trip on a narrow-gauge, steam train along the South Tynedale Railway. Visit the impressive waterfall at Ashgill Force, 5 miles away.
