Alston stands on a crossroads at the heart of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and boasts an interesting variety of local features - shops, galleries and inns - up, down and around it's cobbled Front Street and chartered Market Cross.

 

Situated at the foot of the town, the Hillcrest Hotel offers a charming and hospitable base or stopping-off point. At a local level you can enjoy the South Tynedale Railway - a three mile round trip through beautiful countryside on a narrow-gauge train; excellent fishing - brown trout, sea trout and salmon when in season on the South Tyne River; Cycling - on the C2C route; walking or hiking - on the Pennine Way; horse-riding; golfing - nine-hole course, beautiful but nine holes is enough, then choose a tenth!; skiing - in season (nearby cottage hospital and ambulance service available!) and much more besides.

The Hotel is privately owned and managed by a small team of professionals whose aim is to offer a quality stay at realistic prices.
