Greycroft

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.

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.

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.

We have an abundance of birds visit our garden, including the great spotted woodpecker and other
birds in the area include the skylark, herons, buzzards, grouse, pheasant, blackcock and
peregrine falcons, making it an ideal location for bird watchers. You may be lucky enough to see our
neighbouring red squirrel family who come regularly to play in the garden. The area is also home to many
rare wild flowers and grasses including wild orchids and gentiouns.

The bungalow is centrally heated and thermostatically controlled.

We are a totally non-smoking household.

We do not have a drinks licence, but you are welcome to bring your own.

You are also welcome to bring your pets if they will sleep in the car (off street parking available).
