The Holy Island of Lindisfarne is cut off from the mainland twice a day, offering visitors a unique and tranquil experience. The Grade II listed cottage is close to the harbour and sandy beaches, where the Vikings first landed in 793 AD. The island is known for its historic sites, including Lindisfarne Castle and the ruins of Lindisfarne Priory where the Lindisfarne Gospels were created. The area is popular for walking and bird watching, with nearby attractions such as Bamburgh Castle, Seahouses for boat trips to the Farne Islands, and Alnwick Castle and Gardens easily accessible by car.
The cottage offers contemporary comfort while retaining its original charm, with bespoke designer oak furniture. It is designed for couples but can accommodate one additional guest with a Z-bed. The property can be interconnected with another cottage to accommodate a larger group. Both cottages offer amenities such as electric heaters, Wi-Fi, a garden with decking, garden furniture, and a barbecue. There is also a private parking area and an electric car charging point available. Local shops and pubs serving food are within walking distance of the cottage.
