3What's this

Escape to a tidal island steeped in 16th-century history. Your pilgrimage to Holy Island will see you crossing the Northumberland coast by a narrow causeway that gradually gets washed away by the North Sea. 

Glen House is a simple, mid-terrace cottage on the island's main street, just half a mile away from Lindisfarne Castle. It's a comfortable place to rest after exploring the island. You’ll be within walking distance of Lindisfarne Priory, sandy beaches and the iconic boat sheds by the harbour. Holy Island is also renowned for its abundance of wildlife, with rare seabirds and seals gracing the coastline. 

St Oswald's Cottage (sleeps five) is a short walk from Glen House. The cottages can be booked together for a group stay.
