High up in the North Pennines, Alston claims to be the highest market settlement in England, being about 1000 feet above sea level. From every direction Alston is approached over a broad, heather-clad Pennine landscape which has been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Set on the upper reaches of the River South Tyne, it lies within the Eden district of Cumbria.
This family-run hotel in tranquil Alston is on the Pennine Way and offers local home-cooked food in an area of outstanding natural beauty that is a paradise for walkers and cyclists. Alston House is an AA 4-star restaurant with rooms, and has an AA Dinner Award. Ideal for the unspoilt moors, Alston House is minutes from recognised walking routes, and cycle routes pass the front door. The hotel's pub restaurant offers hearty British fare accompanied with a well-selected wine list, Real Ales and traditional beers, all to be enjoyed in front of a log fire in winter.
