A Space for Every Occasion

Ridgeway Cottage is more than just a place to stay – it’s a home away from home – designed with your comfort in mind. With spacious living areas, cosy bedrooms, and stunning views of the surrounding countryside, it’s perfect for groups of all sizes.

For multi-generational holidays, the cottage offers a chance for everyone to spend quality time together under one roof, whether you're sharing a family meal in the large, open-plan kitchen, or gathering around the fire for an evening of stories and laughter. The layout makes it easy for everyone to have their own space when needed, while the communal areas invite connection.

For corporate retreats, Ridgeway Cottage provides a calm, focused environment where teams can come together to work, brainstorm, or simply unwind. Imagine hosting your team meetings in a space where the only background noise is birdsong and the wind in the trees – an ideal setting to inspire creativity and collaboration. And when the day’s work is done, the North Pennines are right on your doorstep for a walk or a moment of reflection.

A Location Like No Other

Ridgeway Cottage is nestled in the heart of one of England’s most unspoiled regions – the North Pennines, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Surrounded by rolling hills, open skies, and peaceful rivers, it’s a place where you can step outside and immediately feel connected to the natural world.

For those who love to explore, the walking trails begin right from the front door. Whether you’re in the mood for a gentle stroll along the River Nent or a more adventurous hike up Cross Fell, the highest point in the Pennines, the landscape here is full of hidden gems just waiting to be discovered.

And yet, despite its secluded feel, Ridgeway Cottage is perfectly placed for those who want to explore the wider area. The historic market town of Alston, with its cobbled streets and charming shops, is just a short drive away. There’s also plenty to discover nearby, from heritage railways to local pubs offering hearty meals after a day of exploring.

A Place to Reconnect and Recharge

At Ridgeway Cottage, the focus is on slowing down and enjoying life’s simple pleasures. It’s a place where mornings are spent sipping coffee on the terrace, watching the mist lift from the hills, and evenings are for gathering around the wood-burning stove, sharing stories from the day’s adventures.

With no rush, no pressure, and no distractions, it’s easy to reconnect with nature – and with each other. Whether you’re here for a family reunion, a weekend with friends, or a corporate retreat, Ridgeway Cottage offers the kind of calm, peaceful environment that’s becoming harder to find in today’s busy world.

For those who prefer a bit more structure to their relaxation, the area offers a variety of outdoor activities, from gentle river walks to cycling and wildlife watching. Or, simply take the opportunity to enjoy the tranquillity of the cottage itself. With large windows that bring the outdoors in, and spacious, comfortable rooms, you don’t even have to leave the house to feel immersed in nature.
