Brilliantly restored and built by the owners. Spectacular views from the full length window down the valley. Cozy, warm and comfortable interior with attention to details that made our stay so enjoyable. Plenty of local walks in a dramatic landscape.
Truly wonderful location, wonderful wildlife, good walking nearby, lovely town nearby, excellent hosts including Bonnie the dog. Excellent facilities and good broadband
Fabulous location and beautifully appointed. We arrived to the smell of freshly baked bread, and our stay continued in this rather special vein. We absolutely loved our week at The Old Buttress - all very memorable.
Fabulous accommodation and great hosts. Wonderful welcome hamper. Remote with stunning views and good access to the Lakes, Hadrians wall and Durham. Alston 5mins away has all you need for the basics.
Phenomenal place. Had every single thing you could need. The location was great for walking and the views from the sofa were outstanding. I have already told everyone about this place and we will definitely be back!
Absolutely brilliant job on transforming the property. It has all the amenities you could want and the owners very welcoming! It was a very relaxing and comfortable stay in a beautiful, quiet location. Couldn't recommend it enough!
We loved our stay, absolutely beautiful property with the most amazing views. Jon and Jane were perfect hosts and very welcoming if, always there to help if needed. We have already recommend the property to friends and family and would 100% return ourselves. Relaxing, calm and lovely break.
The Old Buttress is superb. Everything we needed for a stay for two. Warm, comfortable and a beautiful, very peaceful location. A unique property.
Wonderful location, and a cottage which is comfortable, warm, well equipped, and has the most gorgeous views. We spent two fabulous weeks there, and loved every minute. Jon and Jane are very friendly and welcoming, and couldn't have been kinder.
Comfortable contemporary well equiped property with private garden and views over open countryside set in the scenic North penines
We had a lovely stay at The Old Buttress. It's a wonderful, well thought out and well-equipped cottage with fantastic views down the valley! It has a lovely, peaceful outside area, comfy bedroom, and a cosy open plan living area with a super warm log burner. There are lots of great walks right on your doorstep, plus Alston isn't too far when you need supplies!
The Old Buttress exceeded all expectations. The setting is beyond beautiful and the house is so comfortable and provides everything you could possibly need. Just what we needed to escape the hustle and bustle of life down south!

As all restrictions have been lifted across the United Kingdom, you are no longer legally required to self-isolate upon a positive Covid-19 result. You won’t be asked to take daily tests or isolate following contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. This means, if you would like to modify or cancel your booking due to Covid-19, our normal terms and conditions now apply.
If the restrictions are reintroduced and you are forced to cancel your holiday due to legal restrictions, please be rest assured that we will help you to move your booking within the same property, offer a voucher to be used within the same property within a year or cancel your booking in this instance and we will refund you the price you paid in full.
If you are concerned about the potential impact of Covid-19 on your holiday plans, outside of legal restrictions, we strongly advise you to seek out travel insurance which covers you in these and other eventualities.
