Greenwell Cottage
A charming Two Hundred (and something!) year old English Cottage!
Originally built as just two rooms with 2ft deep stone walls directly on the lime soil with no foundations, the cottage has been repeatedly extended & modernised over the years... and now in 2026 once again its been fully refurbished, extended and modernised for you to enjoy!
LOCAL WALKS START AT THE DOORSTEP!
Greenwell Cottage sits alongside “The burn” a conservation area, on a quiet single track road. The relaxing sounds of water flowing down the burn coupled with the singing of the birds will allow you to put aside your daily grind and enjoy being at peace with yourself and nature! Just slip on your boots and step out the front door, you can walk or hike to your hearts content to the nearby cawfields quarry and along the World famous Hadrian’s Wall! A sip at a local pub, or a night in - a cosy couch and comfy beds awaits your return!
