Mill Race House is a superb, stone-built cottage, situated in the heart of the traditional country town of Alston.
This cottage is based in an excellent area for a well-earned countryside break, ideal for families, friends or a mix of both, as it boasts a woodburning stove, a hot tub and a games room for endless days of entertainment.
Internally, Mill Race House has been thoughtfully furnished over three floors to provide wonderful accommodation.
Wander into the sitting room to discover an inviting arrangement of sofas with a flat-screen TV as well as a woodburning stove, whilst just behind rests a feature dining table set for 12 people.
During the warmer months, make use of the sun room, complete with a large corner sofa, so you can put your feet up while getting lost in a good book.
Dig out some swimwear for a dip in the hot tub as the sun beams down on you.
The kitchen is well-appointed with several modern appliances set within a sleek choice of units and work surfaces, so you can whip up a hearty feast in style.
When the evening comes around, challenge someone to a game of pool in the dedicated games room when you are in the mood for family fun.
The first set of bedrooms can be found on the first floor, including three wonderfully furnished doubles, one with a large en-suite bathroom.
Up to the second floor are two more bedrooms; a family room with double and twin beds, along with a twin room featuring exposed beams and Velux windows which offer views towards the fells.
Alston is famed for being the highest market town above sea-level, offering scenic views, unique shops and inviting pubs.
