About Haven Cottage

Haven Cottage is a Grade II listed fishermen's cottage on Holy Island (Lindisfarne) off the Northumberland coast. It sits within walking distance of the harbour and long sandy beaches. The island is cut off from the mainland twice a day by the tides making it genuinely unlike anywhere else in England. The road to the island was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1954.

Lindisfarne Castle and Lindisfarne Priory dominate the island. The priory dates back to the 7th century. Walking and birdwatching are the main draws here. Shops are 200 yards away and a pub serving food is just 500 yards from the door.

The cottage sleeps 3 across one double bedroom (4ft 6in bed) with a stowaway Z-bed for an extra guest. There's one shower room on the ground floor. The open-plan living space includes a Freeview Smart TV. Wi-Fi and electricity are included.

Bamburgh Castle is roughly 10 miles away (20 mins). Seahouses for Farne Islands boat trips is about 8 miles (15 mins). Alnwick Castle and Gardens is around 22 miles (35 mins). Lindisfarne Priory is a short walk from the door.

Haven Cottage is ideal for couples wanting a proper island escape with history on the doorstep. Book Haven Cottage for a genuinely memorable Northumberland stay.

Is Haven Cottage Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families

The island setting is genuinely exciting for older children. Lindisfarne Priory and Castle are both walkable. The long sandy beaches are great for exploring. The stowaway Z-bed means one child can be accommodated. Best suited to families with one well-behaved child rather than young toddlers.

For Couples

Haven Cottage is listed specifically for romantic getaways. The tidal island setting means genuine seclusion twice a day. A double bedroom and an enclosed garden with decking sets the tone. Coastal walks and a pub 500 yards away complete a proper couples' retreat in Northumberland.
