Unique Hillside Lodge Retreat
Alston
Cumbria
Spectacular Location 1,200ft High in the North Pennines
Perched 1,200 feet above sea level on a peaceful working farm, this unique luxury hillside lodge offers an unforgettable retreat for families and groups. Located just 1 mile from Alston—England’s highest market town, famous for its cobbled streets, independent shops, and cozy cafes—you are situated in the heart of the North Pennines National Landscape (formerly AONB). Step directly from your doorstep into “England’s last wilderness” for awe-inspiring walks through unspoiled countryside, tumbling waterfalls, and ancient hay meadows. Recognized as a Gold Tier Dark Sky location, the lodge provides front-row seats to spectacular stargazing and constellations.
Eco-Conscious Design & Warm Log Interiors
Crafted with sustainable architecture and natural materials, the lodge blends seamlessly into the Cumbrian landscape while offering high-end year-round comfort:
Open-Plan Living & Panoramic Bi-Fold Doors: Featuring impressive handcrafted log walls and underfloor heating throughout, the spacious hub of the home hosts a large farmhouse dining table, leather sofas, a wood burner, and floor-to-ceiling bi-fold doors that frame panoramic valley vistas.
Fully Equipped Kitchen & Utility: Outfitted to cater effortlessly for group feasts, complete with high-spec cooking appliances and an adjoining utility room with a washer/dryer and gear storage.
4 Flexible Bedrooms: Four warm, wood-lined bedrooms including two king-size bedrooms (zip-and-link, convertible to twins on request) and two double bedrooms.
Two Family Bathrooms: Well-appointed options for the group, featuring one bathroom with a walk-in shower and a second bathroom with a deep soaking tub.
Luxury Decking, Firepit & Private Hot Tub
The vast outdoor space is built for year-round relaxation. Step onto the expansive wooden decking to lounge in the sun, cook outdoors, or gather around the firepit on crisp evenings.
