From the owner

Set in a quiet corner of the medieval cobbled area of Alston, this barn conversion has been imaginatively developed and extended by the architect owner to create stylish holiday accommodation in this attractive historic town. This property which has been awarded four stars from Visit Britain and the Enjoy England Gold Award for outstanding quality, was also part of a winning scheme in the Eden District Council 2009 Design Awards. It is owner managed and has its own individual charm and character, incorporating a wealth of attractive features including solid oak floors, exposed beams and many other interesting little details.

Naworth has its own external patio area, and the first floor living room opens out onto a delightful private balcony. It is tastefully furnished with a blend of contemporary and country style furnishings to a very high standard, including paintings and prints by artists from our local region, creating the perfect ambience for a relaxing holiday at any time. Designed to cater in particular for guests with a creative or activity interest, offering the possibility of longer stays in order to develop creative work or to pursue a particular interest.

    Response from the owner
    We are glad you enjoyed your stay in Alston but are very disappointed to hear that you found some aspects of our property unsatisfactory. We always ask our customers to complete a feedback form before they depart, so that we can deal with problems as promptly as possible. It is a pity that we were away ourselves when you stayed, so we weren’t able to meet you. Your friend who stayed in the cottage with you, who had visited previously and was keen to return, filled in the form and didn’t raise any of your concerns. She just wrote ‘had another great stay in Naworth. So relaxing. Love this place’. On our feedback form we invite guests to report any problems that they experience during their stay. Your friend reported on a glass that had been broken during your stay but you did not take the opportunity to draw our attention to these matters that you are now making public on TripAdvisor. You stayed towards the end of our season when we annually assess our accommodation, and spring clean the cottages, making any replacements and improvements that are necessary. The children of the previous guests spilt what appeared to be Ribena on the floor mat you refer to, and our cleaners had only the day to clean the cottages ready for you and your friend, so the stain you report on is in fact a watermark from our attempt to remove a much worse stain. Yes, we have a hairline crack across a small number of tiles in the hallway, but no guests have commented on this before. The tiles are not discoloured. They are a ‘heritage design’ which we chose to complement the cottage/contemporary atmosphere of our cottage. Yes, we have a very small defect on the worktop at the edge of the kitchen sink but you almost have to find this by feeling with your fingers as it’s barely visible. Each year the soft furnishings are dry-cleaned in our quiet period over the winter. However, your comment on the lounge furniture being out of date is your personal opinion which is not shared by other guests. It is a tried and tested design that has been around for some years and is still on the market and selling well. Each year we are assessed by Visit Britain and since 2008 when we first opened, all our cottages have been consistently assessed as four star gold. We strive to continue to maintain this high standard. We do value all our guests’ comments and we will be ensuring that Naworth is in great condition for our guests for the festive season and beyond.
