Company information

We are a family team, consisting of Ed and Lydia – long-time partners who took over management of Bridge House when they moved here in October 2022 together with Ed’s parents, Nick and Annette. We’re a friendly bunch with a wide variety of interests, and we have made our home here intent on cultivating and sharing these with others as much as we can.

Property information

Originally built as a farmhouse in the 1800s, Bridge House lay derelict for a time before being lovingly restored and extended by previous owners. It was established as a Bed & Breakfast around a decade ago by the most recent owner before Nick, Annette, Ed and Lydia took over. Bridge House boasts fabulous panoramic views of Milecastle 42, Cawfields and Hadrian’s Wall which encompasses its entire northern outlook. Only half a mile from Bridge House sits the National Trail set amidst spectacular scenery.

Neighbourhood information

Bridge House is a mere half a mile from one of the most spectacular and dramatic stretches of Hadrian’s Wall and as such is an ideal base from which to visit the many historic sites and attractions it has on offer. This area presents some of the best walking in Hadrian’s Wall Country with a varied selection of walks taking in many of the historic sites and attractions all set amidst stunning scenery. Bridge House is perfectly placed for any dark sky enthusiasts or budding astronomers, as we are situated half a mile from Cawfields – one of the most highly rated night sky sites in the country from where spellbinding views of the night sky can be seen – and even on occasion the Northern Lights!
