Escape to the countryside with a stay in this stunning, eco-friendly Canadian-style lodge, set in an idyllic spot on Alston Moor, 1,200 feet above sea level. Nestled on a remote sheep farm, the lodge has been carefully constructed from interlocking logs over 12 inches in diameter. A grass-covered roof adds natural insulation, while a log burner and ground-source underfloor heating keep the space warm and inviting, even through the harshest winters.
In summer, open the bi-fold doors onto the wooden deck, relax on the sun loungers, or soak in the hot tub while taking in the breathtaking views across the South Tyne Valley that stretch for miles. With minimal light pollution, it’s also an ideal spot for stargazing under clear night skies.
Just a short drive away is Alston, the highest market town in England, offering a charming mix of independent shops, craft galleries, cosy cafés, and traditional pubs. It also serves as a fantastic base for exploring Hadrian’s Wall, Scotland, and the Lake District.
