Restaurants in Alston
The Nook Farm Shop & Cafe
Castle Nook, AlstonA lovely little place to stop off if you need a bite to eat!
It was consistently full of locals, bikers, and tourists - because the food was great. Tuna mayo sarnie that was absolutely full to the brim with tuna mayo, and a cheddar and chutney sourdough panini that was beautifully gooey and crispy in equal parts.
There's also local produce on sale, and great little cakes. Plus, there's a lot of info about the nearby Roman fort of Epiacum, which is worth a hike up the hill to before or after eating. It's not as well preserved as Vindolanda or others, but definitely worth seeing.
All in all, a great little place.

Swans Head
Swans Head, Townhead, AlstonThis is an amazing antiques shop right in the heart of Alston, Cumbria. It has thousands of items which took us quite a while to look around before we bought what we wanted. Even if you do not buy anything it is well worth having a look as there are so many interesting things to see. The owner, Julie is very helpful and knows lots about what she sells.

Lovelady Shield Hotel - Book Direct with Paymán Club
Lovelady Lane, AlstonLong driveway needs serious rework as ridden with potholes (not unavoidable but care needed). Was given a brief tour of the facilities by pleasant chap. Single room - respectable amount of space for one night stay. Heating selectable, with sliding window for ventilation. Decent, serviceable, shower with hot water. Slept well without issue. Decent early morning walk. Wonderful breakfast.
Price was somewhat competitive (vfm+).
Staff are professional, friendly and attentive.
NB: Single bed not long enough for anyone above 6 ft.
