Relax in an eighteenth century bothy.

Many people walk Hadrian's wall coast to coast and miss major historical parts due to time. Stay with us, self catering within The Bothy for several nights, and see more.

The main section of remaining wall stretches from Chollerford to Greenhead. Within this stretch are other interesting roman remains such as Aydon Castle, Black Carts Turret, Brunton Turret, Temple of Mithras, Chester's Bridge Abutment, Chester's Roman Fort, Chester's walled garden, Vindolanda, Housesteads and of course parts of remaining wall.

Along this length of Hadrian's wall is the military road which provides access to the above attractions. There is a bus service (summer months) running the length of the wall, enabling you to travel different parts every day.

So why not use The Bothy as your home and see the wall with its highlights.

Limited Accommodation in great demand.

In the past bothies were to be found in remote, mountainous areas of Scotland, Northern England and Wales: they were particularly common in the Scottish Highlands (bothy may be a corruption of the Gaelic botan meaning small hut or possibly the Welsh term bwthyn also meaning small cottage, it could also be from Norse buð, cognate with English booth with a diminutive ending).

Generally speaking, most bothies were formerly ruined buildings that had been restored to a basic standard, providing a windproof and watertight shelter. They varied in size from little more than a large box up to two-storey cottages. They usually had designated sleeping areas.
