Mount Hooley Cabin

Step into your countryside retreat at Mount Hooley Cabin near Alston in Cumbria. This beautifully built Canadian-style log cabin sits high above the South Tyne Valley on a working farm, giving you wide open views and a real sense of escape into nature. Inside, the warm log walls and thoughtful interior create a welcoming atmosphere. The open-plan living area brings everyone together around large leather sofas and a wood burner for cooler evenings. Bi-fold doors fill the space with light and let you enjoy that view whatever the season. The kitchen comes fully equipped for family meals with modern appliances, and there’s a handy utility room with washer and dryer for convenience. Four comfortable bedrooms sleep up to eight guests, with two king-size rooms that can convert into twins on request and two relaxing doubles. Two bathrooms include a shower room and a bathroom with shower over bath so everyone has space to get ready at their own pace.

Outside, the wooden deck is your go-to spot for socialising and unwinding. The private hot tub invites you to soak under open skies. Sun loungers and garden furniture sit alongside a firepit, ready for lazy afternoons and star-filled evenings.

In the local area you’re perfectly placed to explore the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There are stunning walks straight from the lodge, and Alston village is about a mile away with independent shops, cafés and a pub for relaxed meals out. You’ll find waterfalls, ancient hay meadows and plenty of wildlife to enjoy during your stay.
