Alston House Reviews

Steven

An absolute amazing place. Would highly recommend we had a fabulous weekend for my partners 40th.

Ashleigh

We had the most wonderful time at Alston House! Highly recommend. Incredibly clean, gorgeous facilities. We absolutely loved it!

Annabelle

Alston House is immaculate and incredibly comfortable. The size of the house as well as the layout worked really well for a gathering of extended family. The addition of the hot tub and games room meant everyone was easily entertained. The house was very comfortable and decorated to a very high standard. A little bit more equipment required in the kitchen as making a roast for 9 required some creative use of utensils and saucepans, as well as the addition of some tea towels and the house would reach perfection.

Sharon

The house is just beautiful and we had an amazing family Christmas there. We would recommend it in a heartbeat. The only reason we didnt give the full five stars was because of the lack of kitchen equipment. Luckily some family members were joining us a day later and brought some tins and large bowls with them. The kitchen could do with baking tins, sieve, scales, large bowls, serving dishes, decent potato peeler etc. Also, the bins do not really cater for 11 people so we brought a lot of rubbish home with us, luckily we had a large van to do so. We didnt want to leave and would happily book again.

Really beautiful property. We are 2 families who go away together a couple of times a year we have been doing this for many years and this was one of our absolute favourite stays. Lovely location, very clean and modern, amazing social spaces and huge so we never felt on top of one another.

Khaled

Fantastic stay! The property was very clean and wellmaintained, with lovely walks nearby. The owner was incredibly responsive and helpful. Highly recommended!

Gurlin

This was the most amazing place I have ever stayed in! The cinema room, the house , the beds everything was perfect! Good luck on your new adventure on this cottage! It was amazing
