Burnhead bed and breakfast is situated in the heart of the beautiful Northumberland National Park on the route of the Hadrian's Wall Path and the Pennine Way. Both paths pass the front door and indeed the house is built with stone from ‘the wall’ and lies on the site of ‘the wall’. So why stay near the wall when you can stay on it.
The original Burnhead Cottage was built as the manager’s house of the nearby Cawfields Quarry in 1830. The quarry became defunct many years ago and the site has been beautifully restored showing a slice through the volcanic rock strata called the "Whin Sill" upon which much of the wall is built.
Cawfields is a site of major interest on the Hadrian’s Wall Path with Milecastle 42 easily visible. It is also the site of a Roman water mill. The views back east along the wall are classic and feature in many travel companions describing the wall.
Burnhead Bed and Breakfast offers two, twin bedded, en-suite rooms that are south facing, light and airy with lovely views over the surrounding countryside. In your room you will find tea and coffee making facilities, a television and DVD player, and hair dryer. There will be other drinks available in our kitchen fridge.
Both your hosts enjoy the outdoor life and are able to provide information on local walks ( and runs, for the more active) and have a number of local maps avalable.
