    Consider exploring the local cafes for dinner as the pub only offers limited evening meals.

    value accommodation
    basic functionality
    dated amenities

    Good value for a simple stay. the Double Room offered a basic but functional experience, aligning well with the village's charm.

    The hotel felt quite dated. carpets showed significant wear and the room's amenities needed refreshing. The bed sagged, and the presence of plastic undersheets made for an uncomfortable night’s sleep. The shared bathroom was small with a faulty lock, which could be an annoyance during busier times.

    spacious room
    accommodating landlady
    convenient location
    slightly dated decor
    limited dining options

    I was passing through Alston and needed a quick place to stay after a long ride. I really appreciated the spacious double room with an ensuite. it was clean and comfortable. The landlady was incredibly accommodating, providing a better room than what I had booked for the same price. I also enjoyed the convenient location right on the high street, making it easy to grab essentials from the Co-op across the road.

    cozy vibe
    uphill walk
    cold shower

    Great value with a cozy vibe.

    Having completed a long day hiking the Pennine Way, I found the uphill walk to Victoria Inn rather disheartening. It was especially tiring with my backpack after such a long trek of over 23 miles. The lack of a warm shower upon arrival made it feel like an unfortunately challenging experience.

    Charming atmosphere, friendly staff, combined with a convenient location near Newcastle International Airport, made my stay enjoyable. I appreciated the comfortable bed in my single room and the hot, satisfying shower after a long day of exploring.

    good value for budget travelers
    dated decor

    The location is fantastic, just a short walk to the town center with shops and cafes. The room was clean and comfortable, making it a good value for budget travelers. there's convenient bicycle storage available.

    The decor is quite dated and could use some updating for a fresher look.

    excellent breakfast
    friendly landlady
    noisy environment

    We had a great time riding through the beautiful scenery of South Tyne valley. The breakfast here was excellent, and the landlady made us feel right at home. Location is perfect for exploring. We also hit a couple of cool spots nearby for golfing and horse riding. Definitely a solid choice for a group getaway.

    The single room we stayed in was pretty basic, and I noticed some noise from downstairs during our stay, especially at closing time.

    friendly service
    clean room
    dated appearance
    limited dining
    stairs difficulty

    The friendliness of the landlady was a highlight, providing excellent customer service and accommodating my requests. The room was spacious, clean, and included a cozy double bed. Having secure bike storage was immensely helpful on my cycling trip. While breakfast was satisfying, including delightful muesli, the property had a dated appearance and no on-site dinner options made for limited dining choice after a long day.

    character room
    friendly atmosphere
    dated decor
    noise disturbance
    warmth issue

    The high ceilings of the room added a sense of character, although it took a while to warm up. Enjoyed a freshly cooked breakfast that set us up nicely for the day. While the pub's decor seemed quite worn and could benefit from some investment, the popularity of the area brought a lively atmosphere, which could be noisy late into the night.

    friendly landlady
    delicious breakfast
    light room
    need heavier curtains

    Charming stay with a lovely landlady

    I had a wonderfully warm stay here, thanks to the lovely landlady who made sure I had everything I needed. The breakfast was freshly cooked and very satisfying, which set me up nicely for my day ahead. The room was comfortable, although the light from the street came in quite early, so heavier curtains would be a great improvement. I felt very welcome in this quaint town.

    friendly owner

    Solo traveler seeking comfort

    The owner was really lovely and helpful, she made sure I had an early breakfast before I set off walking. The bed was super comfy and I had a decent night's sleep despite some noise from downstairs.

    It was a bit pricey for what it was but could still work for one night.

    friendly landlady

    This was just a suitable option for a quick break in Alston with high value for money. The friendly landlady ensured my check-in was quick and hassle-free. Try to arrive around 6pm for easy access to check-in.
