Salvin House

We had the absolute pleasure of staying at Salvin House in Alston from the 27th to the 30th of June, and it truly exceeded all our expectations. Our multi-generational family group, ranging in age from early 30s to late 80s, all felt incredibly welcome and well-catered for from the moment we stepped through the door. The house is a beautifully preserved Georgian gem, full of period charm and character. Every room was immaculate, tastefully decorated, and thoughtfully laid out. It's clear the hosts have truly thought of everything—from the plush towels and high-quality linens to the fully equipped kitchen and elegant living areas. There were so many little touches that made our stay feel extra special. One of the highlights of our trip was a ride on the South Tynedale Railway, just a short stroll away. It was a charming and relaxing experience, offering beautiful views of the surrounding countryside and a nostalgic treat for all ages. It really added to the magic of the weekend. Salvin House is ideally located in Alston, with lovely local walks and cafes nearby, yet it still feels like a peaceful retreat. We found plenty to do without ever feeling rushed—it was the perfect balance of relaxation and activity. In short, Salvin House is a real treasure and ideal for a family gathering. We left feeling refreshed, reconnected, and already talking about when we can come back. Highly recommended!

Very comfortable stay at Salvin House. Rooms are all nicely decorated and house is equipped with everything you need. Lovely garden, shame we couldn't use it more due to the weather but great base for walking and we completed Isaacs tea trail
