The Old Granary is a detached stone cottage on Holy Island (Lindisfarne) off the Northumberland Heritage Coast. Said to be 500 years old, it was built using stone taken from the Priory after the dissolution of the monasteries. Refurbished in 2018, it sits tucked into the corner of St Cuthbert's Square with views of the sea, Lindisfarne Castle and the Priory. The beamed ceilings are made from the masts of old herring boats.
Holy Island sits within the Lindisfarne National Nature Reserve. Grey seals live here year-round and migrating birds use the island seasonally. The island has a pub 185 yards away, a shop and post office a quarter of a mile away and the beach is just 440 yards from the door.
