"Charming cosy cottage"
The cottage is just off the main street in Alston and just a few steps away from a spar shop & one of the four pubs. The view from the rear of the cottage is beautiful with the hills & a river running nearby & a large playing field. We stayed for Christmas which was lovely, especially with the log fires burning. Would certainly stay there again.
"Better option than a hotel for us!"
Wanted a lazy weekend to celebrate an important birthday. Chose an apartment over a hotel and pleased that we did as this one was as nice as a hotel! Personal, friendly contact with Toast Lettings. Location great, just a couple of minutes from the market place. Good choice of places to eat out in Durham and lots to see and do.
"Perfect for a family"
If I could take this house with me on every family holiday, I would be delighted. Toast letting staff excellent, house spotless and comfortable and lots of space. Lots of baths, showers and toilets for everyone getting ready for a wedding. Ideal!
We have a network of clients who are asking us for serviced accommodation lasting for a few nights up to a few months.
We offer a flexible approach to short-term lets. We work closely with owners to ensure that they are able to use their own property when they wish to do so. You may wish to reserve your property for a special occasion or simply want to use it if it happens to be free. We are happy to help you make such arrangements.
