ROOM DETAILS

Our most capacious room with views across the distant fells, the Bunkhouse offers unisex dorm-style accommodation for up to eight people. As all bunks are booked individually, the Bunkhouse is perfect for singletons or couples travelling on a budget. It's also a great option for groups of friends and larger families looking to keep costs down. What's more, book six or more bed spaces together and you'll have the Bunkhouse all to yourself (subject to availability) and secure a 10 per cent discount. Call or email for details.

If you reckon bunkbeds = ropey night’s sleep, then think again. On the contrary, our modern  Bunkhouse is kitted out with brand new spacious bunks and comfortable mattresses. You’ll be off to kip and dreaming of a Pennine adventure in no time at all!

AMENITIES

Breakfast

In order to keep costs down, breakfast is not included when booking a Bunkhouse bed. However, you can add a basic breakfast of toast, cereals, Greek yoghurt, fruit, preserves, tea and coffee (porridge extra). Or opt for a full Cumbrian breakfast, including locally sourced sausage, bacon and eggs, with vegetarian and vegan alternatives. Please order in advance as an 'Extra Service' when booking online. (NB: Please state any food allergies, intolerances or special dietary requirements when booking.)

Evening meal

The 'What's in the pot?' menu features a small selection of heartily delicious home-cooked food with vegetarian and vegan options. This can be booked in advance as an 'Extra Service' on the online booking form or in the morning after breakfast. (NB: Please state any food allergies, intolerances or special dietary requirements when booking.)

Dry/wet room

Purpose-built, centrally heated dry/wet room with washing and drying facilities, integral shower room and external washdown area for bicycles and boots, etc.

Bicycle lockup

Purpose-built, secure bike storage space with internal door through to dry/wet room.

Walled garden

Huge beeches, pines and silver birches tower over a secluded haven of mature shrubs, lawns and (in spring and summer) colourful borders - great for an alfresco tea or coffee in the bracing Alston air.

Parking

Temple Croft has a small private car park, and there is plenty of extra free off-road parking within a two-minute walk of the property.

Night on the town?

Less than two minutes away on foot you'll find several friendly and atmospheric pubs/hotels offering a wide range of excellent ales and food.

Grocery, hardware and health food stores, hair and beauty salons, Post Office, gift shops and two garages - all within five minutes' walk of Temple Croft.

'The location was wonderful, from the iconic setting, to the walks by the river and waterfalls, to the changeable vistas of the moors. The open fire was so welcoming, Paul and Amanda couldn't have been easier or more friendly.'
