Spent a lovely Christmas at Gilmore House.
Spent a lovely Christmas at Gilmore House. The cottage is cosy with some beautiiful original features and in an absolutely brilliant central location for both Alston's amenities and country walks. We were delighted to arrive and find that it had been (tastefully!) decorated for the festive season. The listing doesn't make clear enough the "accessibility" challenges that the cottage might pose for anyone who is less than sprightly and sure-footed. My elderly parents joined us for part of the stay, and the very narrow and steep stairs were a constant battle. Also, initial access is via the back door over very uneven cobbles - we banned them from attempting that route into the cottage! But overall, if it were just the two of us (plus dog!), we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
