Pat made us very welcome in her home. Our room was excellent and the breakfast was substantial and very tasty. It was lovely to have a guest's sitting room all to ourselves since we were meeting up with friends and were able to have tea and coffee in luxury. We would definitely stay again and wish Pat well in the... More

Our stay at Greycroft was really enjoyable. Our room was very comfortable, cosy and well stocked with toiletries, chocolates, fruit and a good choice of teas. Good to find a B & B with a sitting room. Breakfasts, very good and substantial. Pat was friendly and helpful. Very close to Alston town. Perfect and good value, we would definitely stay... More

We had a lovely stay at Greycroft on our C2C cycle. We arrived cold and wet but had a warm welcome from Pat, the owner, followed by a much needed cup of tea and homemade biscuit. Very comfortable and clean facilities. We were able to travel light after reading a previous review about the abundance of toiletries...and how true it... More

Owner Pat Dent lives on the premises and is happy to chat and advise on anything local as well as cooking a delicious and substantial breakfast. The beautifully kept garden beyond the dining room...

Excellent accommodation located within easy walking distance of the town of Alston. Everything at Greycroft is of a very high standard, especially the food. Pat and Les are wonderful hosts. We would recommend anyone visiting this part Cumbria to use Greycroft as their base.

Just had a wonderful weekend at Greycroft. Pat and Les are charming, friendly hosts and the place itself is very comfortable, beautifully furnished, warm and spotlessly clean. Walked the short walk into Alston to Alston House for a splendid meal in the evening. The breakfast was excellent with a good choice of fruit, cereal and then of course a delicious... More

As a couple my partner and I stayed here. We found the hostess, Pat, a little bit loud and schoolteacher-esque at first but she is actually very thoughtful. The breakfasts are wonderful, Les makes really tasty scrambled eggs and the porridge was very welcome on a rainy September morning. We found it a little far to walk over into the... More
