    I really enjoyed my stay at Lowbyer Manor. The hosts were so friendly and welcoming, which made me feel right at home. My room was clean, comfortable, and full of character, and the breakfast was absolutely amazing — one of the best I’ve had while travelling. The house has a lovely, peaceful atmosphere and it’s a great base for exploring Alston and the surrounding countryside.

    The hotel decor is quite dated and needs some TLC. Likewise the shower in our room which was weak and had broken control knobs.

    A warm welcome, fantastic dinner and hearty breakfast, lovely large communal drawing room in which to relax.

    Great property. Lovely old manor house, nicely positioned just a short walk from the town. Great staff, all very friendly and attentive. Helped us to decipher the local bus routes when transport options seemed limited. And brought our breakfast forward at late notice when we realised we needed to catch the early bus!

    Water from taps in bathroom either too hot or cold, but is a minor issue and it was easy to use shower instead for washing hands.

    Pretty much everything! Quiet and peaceful location, comfortable room + beds, lovely English breakfast. Jim the host is friendly and helpful. Loved the lounge room especially, which is great to relax in and watch the snow fall.

    The football on the TV wasn't my cup of tea but I understand that it's important for the other customers.

    Lovely staff and breakfast, in a great location. Very cosy bar, just a nice 'at home' atmosphere. Lots of amazing attractions in the area.

    I would've liked a bath . But that is just because I'd had such a long journey . And because you're asking me to be picky . The shower was nice and powerful .

    The staff were friendly, helpful and accommodating . The bed was comfortable and the room was cosy and clean .
