Here at Greycroft you will find real North country hospitality set in the splendid scenery of “England’s Last Wilderness”. The North Pennines are now established as an “Area of Outstanding Beauty”, and Alston, as its focus, has a wide variety of attractions, many unusual shops and a number of cosy pubs and good eating houses. Although in Cumbria, we are on the fringe of Northumberland and Durham.

Greycroft is set on a corner site with open views south across the beautiful South Tyne valley towards Cross Fell (the highest point on the Pennines). It is in the peaceful hamlet of the Raise, a five minute walk into Alston and is tastefully furnished to a high standard with our guests in mind.

Please explore our web site and discover why so many people return each year for a holiday in the North Pennines to this elegant bed and breakfast with its warm welcome and wonderful setting.

 

This beautiful mountain area is little known and still unspoilt, but the warm local hospitality, quite wooded valleys and old buildings make it well worth exploring.
