A fantastic lodge for our pre-Christmas family get together, surrounded by some gorgeous scenery. The combination of snow, sunshine and dark night skies (for star gazing from the hot tub) are hard to beat, this was our second visit and we rarely return anywhere.

The cottage is so lovely and the views are spectacular. The cottage has everything you need and Chris and Marion are so friendly. This is the second visit to Mount Hooley Lodge and it did not disappoint .

We had a wonderful week with family in Mount Hooley Lodge. The views from the lodge are beautiful and the location very peaceful and private. The lodge is spacious and comfortable with plenty of seating. It's also very cosy. We had a BBQ and toasted marshmallows at the firepit and enjoyed the hot tub in all weather, including Storm Ashley. There's a lovely walk along the side of the railway track running from Alston and passing below the lodge. We'd highly recommend Mount Hooley.
