Dykeheads Farm, Nenthead

Dykeheads Farm is a self-catering group property in Alston, Cumbria, made up of a farmhouse and a separate cottage. It sits in the North Pennines England's largest Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The combination of a farmhouse and cottage makes this ideal for larger groups who want shared space but separate sleeping arrangements. A hot tub with garden room views over the Cumbrian countryside is a serious highlight.

Alston is one of England's highest market towns, sitting at around 1,000 feet above sea level. The surrounding landscape is open moorland, river valleys and dry-stone walls. Views from the property are genuinely breathtaking rolling hills visible from many windows and from the hot tub itself.

The property sleeps larger groups across two buildings: the main farmhouse and an adjoining cottage. Multiple bedrooms, bathrooms and social spaces are spread across both. Two separate buildings give groups flexibility ideal for multi-family bookings or mixed groups wanting their own space.

Hadrian's Wall (12 miles, 25 mins), the North Pennines AONB, High Cup Nick (18 miles, 35 mins) and the South Tynedale Railway in Alston (1 mile, 5 mins) are all within easy reach.

Dykeheads Farm offers something genuinely different two buildings, open countryside and a hot tub. Best for large family gatherings or friend groups who want space and scenery.
