About this property

Salvin House - Georgian townhouse in the heart of Alston, Cumbria - Sleeps 10

With a history dating back 300 years, yet offering all modern comforts, Salvin House Alston is a haven of Georgian elegance in the heart of England's highest market town., right on the Cumbria-Northumberland border. Our elegant self-catering cottage can accommodate up to 9 people.

Our Cumbrian cottage garden is set over three levels, with multiple seating areas and a barbecue terrace featuring a wood-fired pizza oven and charcoal grill. Secure for dogs, the garden has a covered seating area, fire pit and bee-friendly planting, including a wild flower area.

With perfectly proportioned living and dining rooms, wood burning stove, a fully equipped kitchen and four comfortable bedrooms, each with its own unique colour theme, you will feel instantly relaxed when you walk in the front door of Salvin House.

Our professional housekeeping team will prepare everything in readiness for your arrival, including a locally sourced welcome pack (with our compliments), logs for the stove, fluffy towels and crisp cotton linen on all the beds. So you can focus on relaxing and enjoying your rural surroundings.

We welcome up to two small or medium-sized dogs, so long as their owners are properly trained and well-behaved, of course.

Please note that the ninth bed is suitable for children only and the dining table can only seat up to 8 people.

About the host

Hosted by Rob Lawson

Host profile image
I'm a property professional who wanted to find a country house that I could use myself sometimes, but also rent out as an extra source of income. I wanted somewhere quirky and with character.

Why they chose this property

Salvin House is over 200 years old and it oozes character. The house has a friendly atmosphere and lots of original features. We've tried to make if feel like a home, rather than a boutique hotel, and each room has its own look and feel. It's also a great location for exploring Northumberland, Cumbria, Teesdale and Weardale.
