About this property
Lee Cottage - E4343A
Ideal romantic retreat, former fisherman’s cottage, close to harbour and sandy beaches, where the Vikings first landed in 793 AD, an historic location with castle and priory nearby.. Ground Floor:
Open plan living space.
Living area: Freeview Smart TV, DVD Player, DAB Radio, Bluetooth Speaker, DVDs
Dining area.
Kitchen area: Electric Cooker, Microwave, Fridge, Freezer, Dishwasher
Shower Room: Cubicle Shower, Toilet
First Floor:
Bedroom: Double (4ft 6in) Bed, Z-Bed. Electric heaters, electricity, bed linen and Wi-Fi included. Garden with decking, garden furniture and barbecue (shared). Private parking. No smoking.. Cut off from the mainland twice a day to create a semi-island, the Holy Island of Lindisfarne allows visitors to experience complete tranquillity and timelessness. This Grade II listed fishermen’s cottage is ideally placed to enjoy this unique location.
There is a book library in both properties with information about the history of the local area, and also a selection of unique postcards that each tell a story and show how the island has changed throughout the years. A DVD of the TV programme Time Team is available showing their visits to the island and excavations carried out.
The island, a fine walking and bird watching destination, is dominated by 16th century Lindisfarne Castle, standing dramatically on a rocky outcrop – the ruins of Lindisfarne Priory, the 7th century seat of Christian learning and where the Lindisfarne Gospels were created.
The road from the island was opened in 1954 by Queen Elizabeth II and on the mainland are Northumberland’s many delights within easy driving distance; Bamburgh Castle, Seahouses for boat trips to the Farne Islands’ bird and seal colonies, and Alnwick Castle and Gardens.
The cottage offers contemporary comfort yet retains its original charm and character, with bespoke designer oak table and chairs and is within walking distance of the harbour and long sandy beaches. The property is designed for couples, but offers a stowaway Z-bed for one additional friend or child. Though each property is completely self-contained, a lockable interconnecting door allows both cottages to be booked by a single family or group (maximum sleeps 4+2). Local carry-out meals available. Shops 200 yards, pubs serving food 500 yards.. Note: Haven Cottage and Lee Cottage can be interconnected to sleep 4+2.. Both properties: Electric heaters, electricity, bed linen and Wi-Fi included. Garden with decking, garden furniture and barbecue (shared). Electric car charging point. Private parking. No smoking.
Free WiFi
Both E4342 Haven Cottage and E4343 Lee Cottage are attached with a connecting door, so they can be rented out together. Use of shared bbq. As both cottages are 3 miles from the mainland, the electric may cut out. There is gas lighting and a gas cooker for use in emergencies only.
Towels are not included.

A beautiful cottage in the heart of Holy Island village.
A beautiful cottage in the heart of Holy Island village. It provided the perfect base for exploring the wonderful wildlife of the island, as well as pottering around the small shops, cafes and pubs. We stayed in autumn and it was lovely to come back to such a warm cottage. The bed was really comfortable, the kitchen had great appliances for cooking and the shower was lovely and hot. Perfect! We'll be back.

Third time staying in these cottages and it has always been wonderful.
Third time staying in these cottages and it has always been wonderful. I note that others have had complaints about the cleanliness; however, it has always been fine for me. I suspect that the issue is that the cleaner has less time than usual because of the tides, so if the previous tenant makes a mess of the cottage then it becomes difficult to clean it in time. My only complaint is that the WiFi is very poor. I think that the two cottages are sharing a connection but the walls are too thick for it to penetrate through. I am sure that this will be sorted before long. Holy Island is one of the best places in the world and I love staying there. These cottages are in a perfect location and are amongst the most affordable accommodation on the island.
