Escape to Holy Island and stay in a lovely Lindisfarne holiday cottage for beautiful views and solitude. It's a great destination for families, nature lovers, hikers, and anybody interested in culture and history.
Why Holy Island Accommodation?
Holy Island is known as the "Birthplace of Christianity" and is still a popular pilgrimage destination today. Explore the remains of Lindisfarne Castle and Priory and learn about its history at the Heritage Centre, including Viking invasions, the lives of St. Cuthbert and the monks who resided here, and even stories about Henry VIII.
Holy Island is a birdwatcher's delight, with over 300 species listed inside the National Nature Reserve, and grey seals can sometimes be seen on the beaches at high tide. At low tide, a lengthy causeway connects it to the mainland, and it's great to watch the tide rise, knowing you're here to stay, if only for a bit.
