Came away for a Christmas get away, and it was the right shout! I'll absolutely be coming back! It's right in the heart of the countryside, just outside Alston, and the landscape is lush! The PERFECT get away if you want quiet, private, at-nature. There's plenty to do in the local area, but this is a perfect ”lounge around” holiday. They've got a lush front room with a huge fireplace and plenty classical books to read; very swish! It has a flowing river right outside to make for the perfect scenery too! Some beautiful photos were taken! Our first night we were greeted by a very pleasant, very compassionate front of house. Dan made sure we had everything we need, gave us a tour, and helped us to our rooms. He clearly cares about his job, and does it so very well. The breakfast the next morning was out of this world. Lisa is one CRACKING chef! I love her eggs, they give me life. You have to try the breakfast! It's so good. Ask to speak with Lisa, she's only too happy to talk your through her skills, and is such a pleasure to talk with! Helen our server, and staff throughout the stay made us feel so welcome, had many laughs, and was so very kind to each of our requests! She makes some tasty hot chocolate too. We even had a brief chat with Sharon too, who was so welcoming and very friendly to talk to. I really feel like we got to know them all well, and had an incredible stay! Shame about the no alcohol rule, as this place would make a KILLING on events hire! But honestly, for us at least, it just made us go into town, supporting local business anyways. Not a bad thing! Absolutely consider staying here. I'm certainly coming back. It's absolutely lush. What a gorgeous place!
Formidable
