The 17th-century town of Alston is the highest in England, around 1,000ft above sea level. The train station here is England’s highest narrow-gauge railway and is the starting point for the South Tynedale Railway. You can also join the Pennine Way walking trail from Alston or jump in the car onto the A686, one of AA Magazine’s ‘Ten Great Drives’. Those with a sense of adventure can embark on a long, steep climb up Hartside Fell, which forms part of the Coast-to-Coast Cycle Route. Visit the magnificent, cascading waterfall of Ashgill Force (5 miles). If you’re looking for a more challenging walk, visit Burnhope Seat – it’s the highest fell in the North Pennines and has superb views at its peak. The market town of Penrith has plenty of independent shops, restaurants, bars and cafes and is less than 20 miles away.

Entering this converted coach house, you will head through the stable-style door into a small porch which leads to a spacious and contemporary kitchen with a dining area. The kitchen features an attractive island and wood flooring, and is finished with luxury quartz surfaces. It offers a great space to cook up a nice evening meal or prepare a hearty breakfast before heading out to explore. The lounge area wraps around the kitchen giving you a great social space to spend time together and make plans for the days ahead. On the ground floor, there is also a wet room with WC. Head up the stairs from the lounge to the first floor and you will find two comfortable bedrooms which share a Jack and Jill bathroom. There are SkyTVs in both bedrooms.

There is a bench outside the property which is a great place to sit in the sunshine and enjoy a morning coffee or read a good book. There is a charcoal BBQ to enjoy and a large shared garden, which is shared with the guest house next door. It features a raised lawned garden with mature trees, and from the picnic benches, is a lovely spot to look down over the town and countryside.

  • 2 bedrooms – 1 super-king-size zip-and-link (can be arranged as a twin on request), and 1 double
