It’s a great base for keen walkers and people who like the outdoors. It’s on a major cycle way and popular with guests doing the coast-to-coast walk, either as a stopover or an interesting break to the journey.

Nearby is Hadrian’s Wall, which dates from the early second century AD.

This is a lovely spacious studio apartment, well equipped for self catering. We enjoyed a meal in the on site bistro and the bar was pleasant and served good beer and wine. There's a nice pub right next door which also does food. We enjoyed chatting to the locals and joining in with a local music night.The coastal scenery is stunning. If you're a bird watcher this is a must visit area and you couldn't do better than to base yourself at Bowness Farm, right at the very western end of Hadrians Wall.
