Hudgill Farm Cottages

Wellhope View Cottage is one of two sympathetically restored barn conversions, at Hudgill Farm. Situated in a rural location, two miles from Alston in Cumbria, Middlefell View overlooks farmland which leads down to the River Nent. The cottage is located in an idyllic setting, providing a quiet getaway for families and friends. The cottage has recently been upgraded and is furnished and equipped to offer comfort and warmth. The underfloor heating and woodburning stove offer a cosy welcome after an invigorating day in the Cumbrian countryside. Attention has been taken to retain and enhance the character of the building, with the exposed A frame wooden beams and a large patio door to the private garden where you can relax and enjoy views over the valley. Footpaths lead across the moorland and the local area has very little light pollution, so this is just the spot for sitting back and stargazing beneath the night’s sky. Nearby Alston retains its traditional country character, with a selection of welcoming coffee shops and pubs serving real ale and good food. The Pennine Way passes through the town, which is also on the Coast to Coast (C2C) Cycle Route. During the summer months you can visit the South Tynedale Railway and enjoy a scenic trip through the majestic North Pennines landscape. Immerse yourself in the local history at the Killhope Lead Mining Museum, the Nenthead Lead Mines and the Epiacum Roman Fort. Local walking routes are plentiful with stunning views over the local landscape, including the nearby Ashgill Force, which is a stunning waterfall offering a calm spot for a picnic and the idyllic Beldy Waterfall. In the colder months, Yad Moss Ski Tow offers an exciting day out on the slopes for both skiing novices and pros alike. For a touch of serene spirituality coupled with fascinating local heritage, visit the Weardale Museum and High House Chapel. A little further afield and within an hour’s drive, you will find attractions such as Hadrian's Wall, Beamish Open Air Museum, Durham Cathedral, Newcastle and the MetroCentre. The stunning Lake District National Park with its rugged fells and mountains are also within easy reach.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.

About the location

ALSTON

Melmerby 8 miles; Penrith 18 miles; Stanhope 20 miles; Hexham 23 miles; Carlisle 29 miles; Barnard Castle 30 miles.

Alston is set in the North Pennines in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, surrounded by a unique landscape of moorland, hills, rivers and waterfalls, and is England's highest market town. This intriguing town, with its cobbled streets and fascinating nooks and crannies, was the location for ITV's productions of Jane Eyre and Oliver Twist. Alston and the North Pennines have long inspired artists and writers; the poet and writer W H Auden loved the area and today Alston is an inspiration to the craftspeople who live and work there. There is a host of unusual shops in the town including quality crafts and galleries. Take a ride on one of the lovingly-restored steam and diesel engines through the beautiful scenery of the South Tyne valley on the South Tynedale Railway which runs from Alston through to Slaggyford. The River Tyne is also noted as one of the finest salmon rivers in England and day-ticket fishing is available locally. The North Pennines used to be one of the wealthiest lead mining centres in Europe, and the Killhope Lead Mining Museum offers a great family day out with interactive exhibitions. With the drive along the A686 recognised by the AA as one of the world's best drives, and northern Cumbria, County Durham and Northumberland, all within easy reach, this makes a superb base.
