Alston Hotels - Book Top Hotels in Alston 2018

The place is lovely and we were welcomed by a nice lady on reception and the room had a nice Lilly’s Kitchen treat waiting for the dog. The bed was really comfy and the bath was nice with a really powerful shower over it. You can go walking in the area which we did, just for an hour or so to stretch our legs. There was a mini kettle with some welcome shortbread, various tea, coffee and hot chocolate which was nice. The soap, shower gel and hand wash in the bathroom was really nice and they sell it round the corner in the farm shop. We both found the bed comfy but personal preference found the quilt horrible. Very hot and the usual hotel thing of the quilt cover being about three foot bigger than the actual quilt doesn’t help. When it got to the evening and we wanted to settle down (about 10pm for us as we had an early start). All the other guests just kept slamming doors, which in turn made our dog bark. The doors were being slammed loudly consistently till around 1-2am and we didn’t really get a wink of sleep!! On leaving in the morning there was a man cleaning the entrance glass doors. He didn’t seem to want to move so I could walk through, or open the door for me because I had my hands really full. Instead he just seemed very grumpy and didn’t even say ‘good morning’. On checking out, he never asked how our stay was or anything. He must have only said a couple of words (maybe not a morning person).
