Hidden atop the Pennine moors is a guestbook swelling with compliments
At Alston, you are at a watershed. As England's highest market town, it stands amongst the moors and fells of the North Pennines, located in a heatherclad wilderness with a choice of the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales or Border...More About Lovelady Shield Forest to explore. Indecision has its own rewards: Simply by staying put, you'll discover prolific wildlife and heritage galore (for example, the South Tyneside narrow-gauge railway starts here). At Lovelady Shield, the pleasures start even before you arrive - winding through scenery reminiscent of the south of France, the drive up to the house is truly one of the most beautiful in Europe. Once there, first impressions are to be trusted. Lovelady, nestled in three acres of garden upon a wooded hillside on the banks of the Nent, looks an absolute gem of a place - and it is. The guestbook positively swells with compliments, particularly about the friendliness of the owners, Peter and Marie Haynes, and their staff. Highly complimented, too, is the food, which owes everything to master chef Barrie Gordon. Alas, Lovelady Shield is a secret that's hard to keep - but who could deny a friend such pleasure?
Offer: Lovelady, nestled in three acres of garden upon a wooded hillside on the banks of the Nent, is a truly romantic locale - as confirmed when it recently won an AA Romantic Hotel award.
