Sunrise Cottage

Sunrise Cottage A delightful old stone cottage in north Cumbria, just a couple of miles from the borders with Northumberland and Co. Durham.

Durham, with a large enclosed garden, dark skies and spectacular views. Sunrise Cottage is on the edge of Cumbria, just over the border from Northumberland and Co. It is a less busy area than the Lake District with numerous walking options on footpaths through access land. It is close to Hadrians Wall and many other Roman sites including Corbridge, Vindolanda, and Epiacum Fort. The nearby village

of Nenthead has a rich mining heritage and contains the Nenthead Mines Visitor Centre. The small market town of Alston, just four miles away, has a cobbled main street, many speciality shops and also a number of good pubs and other places to eat. Sunrise Cottage dates back over 200 years (some parts of it considerably more) and was possibly originally based on an old bastle house (a defensive dwelling during the time of the border reivers). It retains many original features including the old stone stairs and has a spectacular panoramic view over the Nent Valley. Up to 2 well-behaved dogs for a small extra charge. If you are looking for a beautiful unspoilt place to spend a few days why not give us a try - you won't be disappointed!

A family of house martins has taken up residence. Often to be seen out of the kitchen window, perching on the roof, and feeding the young in mid air 🙂

The river path between Alston and Nenthead is lovely on a summer's day. A great way to spend the afternoon 😍

A well deserved award for a great local, just down the road from us in Alston.

Following on from our teaser yesterday, we have been judged "Best Real Ale Pub" in the whole county, across the 4 regions of Cumbria.

It's an honour to represent our area, and we are proud to be winners of this award. Thanks to all of our team who make the Cumberland a pub worthy of this accolade.
