Nice and comfortable
I only stopped for a night. As I was going from London to Skye's. Co-op right out front is definitely a plus. And no problem with communication with the owner.

Fantastic Winter Stay
We stayed at the cottage in Alston for one night in December, it was ideally located near all the village amenities including several pubs and a cafe that we visited for breakfast. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook a good meal for the night and set the fire going for a cosy night in. The cottage was nice and peaceful with some lovely countryside around it for a walk around the village and the South Tyne river. Great communication from Colin and Sheila to let us know everything we need to ahead of our stay.

Lovely quirky little cottage
We had a lovely time in this cottage. It is well equipped and comfortable, with everything we needed. The location was perfect, with some great walks, but also easy to drive to places of interest. I'd recommend Sadler's bistro for cakes, and The Nook for breakfast - sadly several of the other places in Alston appear to have closed recently, but the quality of these means that we did not miss anything needed. Being behind the Co-op meant that even when we did run out of something it was really easy to get hold of it. Our only problem was that the holiday wasn't long enough - we would have love to have stayed much longer! Thanks

A wonderful 5 day break
Stokoe Cottage is a well appointed 'home from home' It is a really interesting Cottage with quirky 'nooks and crannies' The host's communication was excellent prior to our visit. There is a Coop around the corner and eateries to accommodate most tastes. There are a plethora of paths if you enjoy walking.
