Stokoe Cottage: Historic Holiday Home in Alston Village Centre
Stokoe Cottage occupies a historic building in the centre of Alston, with mountain views from the property. Guests enter through a private entrance and find themselves within walking distance of Thirlwall Castle (25 km), Housesteads Roman Fort (33 km), and Hadrians Wall Birdoswald Fort (29 km). The central location places the cottage next to a Co-op supermarket and within 100 metres of walking routes for dogs.
The cottage extends over three floors with a spacious kitchen featuring a huge range, underfloor heating, and a large dining table. The second-floor sitting room occupies the entire floor and includes a TV, board games, and a cosy fireplace. A massive utility room provides secure storage for bicycles and acts as a drying room.
One bedroom with a comfortable bed and pretty decor sits on the upper floor, served by a warm, stylish bathroom with a powerful shower. Free toiletries are provided, and all rooms are cleaned with fresh, well-ordered surfaces. The stairs are carpeted and manageable, as noted by reviewers.
The property offers free WiFi, a hairdresser/beautician service, and street parking directly outside. Pets are allowed, but the cottage is for adults only, with smoke alarms and fire extinguishers installed. An invoice is provided, and the cottage is non-smoking throughout.
Guests rate the kitchen equipment, bathroom comfort, and central location as top features. Reviewers praise the utility room for bicycle storage and the friendliness of local pubs like Turk's Head. The cottage is described as quirky, spacious, and steeped in history with all modern facilities.
“Stokoe Cottage in Alston genuinely feels like a found treasure, a wonderfully characterful space steeped in history yet perfectly appointed for modern comfort. The generous kitchen and the expansive sitting room, spread across its three floors, create distinct zones for living and relaxing, while the walk-in shower is a particular delight. Its position right in the heart of the village makes exploring the local scene effortless, and the genuine warmth of the accommodation is palpable.”
