We had a lovely 5-night stay at Headmaster’s House. It’s in a fantastic location at the top of the village, just a 2-minute walk to the shops, pubs and cafés. The house is huge and would comfortably accommodate a large family or group. It was warm, comfortable and well equipped. The Wi-Fi was excellent and the TVs supported all the main streaming apps. We couldn’t get terrestrial TV, but it wasn’t an issue for us. The enclosed garden was perfect for our two miniature dachshunds, although owners of larger dogs should note the fencing is quite low in places. Alston is a lovely village with beautiful riverside walks, and we’d highly recommend meals at The Cumberland and Alston House. Overall, a fantastic base for exploring the North Pennines and somewhere we’d happily stay again.

Headmasters House is a lovely spacious house, with comfortable furnishings and bedrooms. We stayed here with my daughter, son in law and 1 year old Granddaughter who loved all the space for the little one to roam around in. Parking for two cars amongst the available space shared by two other properties. Short walk into the heart of Alston with independent shops, some nice cafes & a couple of nice pubs. Lots locally to explore & stunning view from the rear of the property. Thank you

Beautiful home! Friendly and very helpful host! Perfect for family getaway! Thank you so much!

Beautiful accommodation, spotless. One of the best houses i have stayed in. The village was so charming and everyone was so friendly. Visit the Turks Head as the staff and customers are so nice. This property is outstanding and you won't be disappointed with the inside and the amazing view out the kitchen window you will want to do those dishes.
