The Walls is a Georgian townhouse, built around 1750.  It is built right on the medieval and Elizabethan walls surrounding the town of Berwick-upon-Tweed; which it depends on for its footings.  It has five storeys, three of which are dedicated to guest accommodation.

  • Our ground floor room, The Walls Room, is suitable for wheelchair access. We have not adapted the room, so please contact us and we will discuss whether we can accommodate your specific needs.
  • Wheelchair guests or guests with limited mobility can be dropped off at the old bridge, where you can get to our house avoiding any stairs.
  • Bathroom aids can be provided if required e.g. extra shower grab rails, shower seat, toilet frame, etc.
  • There are steps up to the house from the car parks, so if you have heavy luggage, please call the house first and we will provide assistance.
