Charming town

Alston is a pretty town with a market cross and historical houses set in the heart of the North Pennines. It is surrounded by rolling, heather covered fells and is proud to be England’s highest market town and have the highest golf course in England. Its remote location makes it an ideal area to ‘get away from it all’ and yet is close to numerous areas of beautiful unspoilt countryside, historical features and beautiful coastlines, with lots of nearby attractions and activities. The surrounding roads are quiet and challenging making them a cyclist’s and motorcyclist’s heaven!

"We had a fantastic stay here. Well equipped, super clean, quiet and an excellent view from the breakfast table for your yummy cooked breakfast (vegans also catered for). Mat couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. He gave us lots of recommendations on request of things to do and following his advice we had an amazing walk nearby. His angel fish in the living room were a major highlight for our party too. Would recommend this hostel to anyone wanting a comfortable stay in a stunningly beautiful place."

"Top notch hostel - clean and tidy, everything well equipped and comfortable and a great new owner (Mat) who is friendly, helpful and enthusiastic about the hostel and providing a great experience to guests. It’s also really good value and the breakfast shouldn’t be missed either. Highly recommended all round."

"Great stay at the Alston hostel. Going along the Pennine Way it has to be one of the most convenient locations as it's directly on the trail! A very warm welcome, and a quiet location. Great showers and good kitchen to prepare your own food. Good value breakfast as well."

"Stayed here for a night on my pennine way hike, it was brilliant. Lovely owner Linda who was very friendly and welcoming. Room and bathroom facilities were spotless. Breakfast in the morning was lovely and very reasonable. On the pennine way and a 2 min walk to lots of facilities in Alston. Highly recommend. Thank you I enjoyed my stay a lot."
