Colleton Cottage at Lovelady Shield  

Set just outside Alston — about 4 km from the town centre — this pet-friendly cottage sits in quiet countryside. You’re roughly a 14-minute drive from Weardale Museum, and within about 28–29 miles of Yorkshire Dales National Park and Ullswater. Ideal for self-catering stays and exploring the North Pennines.

A cozy, independent cottage with a private patio and garden views. The space includes a kitchen with microwave and dishwasher, a 32-inch smart TV, a separate sitting area, and a washer/dryer. Simple comforts like an iron/ironing board are available on request.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi across the property, free self-parking, and a barbeque area with charcoal grills. Pets are welcome, and you can expect quiet country mornings and a small garden to relax in.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property and free on-site parking make short work trips or remote check-ins straightforward.

There’s an on-site restaurant for easy meals, plus a fully equipped kitchen if you prefer to self-cater. Outdoor charcoal grills add a hands-on option for evening cookouts.
