Had a great stay at the Calf Shed even during a pandemic.
Had a great stay at the Calf Shed even during a pandemic. It's about a 40 minute walk to Alston which has a few pubs and a Co-op for the essentials. It's an ideal spot to explore Cumbria. The Calf Shed is perfect for a couple, it was spotlessly clean, had sufficient cutlery and crockery and the owners were very friendly. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo
