But great location and comfortable place...especially being able to watch sheepdog trials from the window😁 ##### Martin Dobbing This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Sara McAllister Sep 5, 2025 #### Lovely wee cottage in a lovely location. Lovely wee cottage in a lovely location. Cottage had everything we could have needed and it felt like we were staying in a piece of history. It has been done beautifully and is a pleasure to stay in.My car got keyed sitting outside which is a shame and in no way the owners’s fault. Just put a bit of a dampener on what was a lovely weekend :( ##### Sara McAllister This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark Moran Jun 5, 2025 #### Cottage is well equipped and comfortable. Cottage is well equipped and comfortable. Good location, on street parking and close to the tourist information office. Alston is a quaint village served by a Coop, Spar and a health food store. It still has a Post office and a number of cafes, gift, charity and antique shops.
