This was a lovely little cottage with beautiful open views from the large picture window.

This was a lovely little cottage with beautiful open views from the large picture window. It was very clean, comfortable and cosy. The walk into Alston takes around 15 minutes along the relatively quiet main road. Lovely local walks around Alston. I would recommend this cottage for a relaxing and quiet break.

A small and beautifully formed cottage, with a gorgeous view from the back sliding glass doors. Dogs (two retrievers) loved the garden. Very clean, well decorated, comfortable and warm as toast!! We have found a gem, with great access to Eden Valley, Tyne Valley, Tees Valley, Penrith, Carlisle, Scottish Borders as well as the Lake District.

Our week at the Milking Parlour was extremely pleasant and relaxing.

Our week at the Milking Parlour was extremely pleasant and relaxing. Set in lovely countryside with Alston in easy walking distance. It was slightly smaller than expected, but no problem for 2 and a dog. The owners were very pleasant and helpful, but didn't pester you at all. If we returned to the area then we would stay there again.

We had a wonderful stay at the milking parlour, a real cosy little cottage that provided everything we could ask for and more. Tammy, our Jack Russell made herself right at home instantly. The views from the patio were lovely. Would highly recommend for any couple wanting a relaxing week away from home. Sheila was a very pleasant and friendly host. Would definitely go back again.

Milking Parlour is a good base for exploring the North Pennines.

Milking Parlour is a good base for exploring the North Pennines. Alston is in walking distance or a short drive away. The range of shops is somewhat restricted but the co-op has enough for basic needs.
