If you are looking for a relaxed and friendly home at the end of a long day walking Hadrian's Wall; if you want a rural retreat where you can take a deep breath and unwind following a day out exploring this quite but fascinating part of the world; or are travelling between Scotland and England and need somewhere to rest for the night, then the Abbey Bridge is the B&B for you.
The Abbey Bridge was built in 1832 as a public house called the Black Bull, although there had been a hostelry on the site of what was an important crossing of the River Irthing for a couple of centuries beforehand. The building is Grade II listed and made from local sandstone under a slate roof.
The rooms are warm, well equipped and en-suite. The beds are comfortable and the nights so quite you may find it difficult to wake up for breakfast. The breakfast are leisurely and we serve locally produced product where possible with lots of choice for meat eaters and vegetarians alike.
Many of our guests are walking Hadrian's Wall long distance footpath, which is under a mile from Abbey Bridge. We have good clothes and boot drying facilities should the Cumbrian weather be unfiendly.
We are open for bed and breakfast between March and October. During the winter months we offer self-catering in The Blacksmith's, a self contained cottage adjacent to Abbey Bridge.
