Why Holy Island Accommodation?
Known as the "Birthplace of Christianity", Holy Island is still a popular pilgrimage destination today, and not only that... but it’s also a fantastic holiday destination as well. 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.
A Holy Island cottage is a birdwatcher's delight, as over 300 species are 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.
Speaking of beaches, the ones here are perfect for buckets and spades, rock pooling, and kiting, and will keep both kids and parents entertained. You can even discover them on horseback - an unforgettable experience! Here, you can savour fresh crab rolls and luscious oysters, as well as local mead produced according to an ancient recipe. Despite its tiny size, the island has a variety of restaurants, cafés and bars.
Places to Visit near your Holy Island Accommodation
Further up the coast from your Lindisfarne holiday cottage, you’ll also find the town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, sitting right on the edge of the Scottish Borders. With several iconic attractions in the town such as Berwick Castle and the Royal Border Bridge, it’s a great place to head to for a day trip.
Another brilliant place to consider for a day away from your accommodation on Holy Island is the village of Bamburgh, home to the gigantic Bamburgh Castle that can be seen from almost everywhere in the town, it is truly a breath-taking place to take in the views of the North Sea.
