Crossing the tidal causeway to the Holy Island of Lindisfarne is just the beginning of a wonderful journey back in time and place, continued by the good fortune of staying in this very ancient building. This detached property is said to be 500 years old and built from stone taken from the Priory after the dissolution of the monasteries. Today, it provides a warm and welcoming retreat, perfect for friends and families making the most of every moment in this very special place. Truly tucked away in the corner of St Cuthbert’s Square with views of the sea, Lindisfarne Castle and the Priory, and refurbished in 2018, the Old Granary now has all the contemporary comforts along with quirky features, such as the beamed ceilings made from the masts of old herring boats. There is no outside space at the property, however you have the whole island to explore.

Steeped in history and with an abundance of wild birds, plants and rare habitats within the Lindisfarne National Nature Reserve, the island is a seasonal feeding ground for migrating birds and resident grey seals. Visitors are always sad to leave the island, but there is much to see and do nearby with the towns and villages of the Heritage Coast under a 30-minute drive. The island also has a post office and shop selling all basic provisions as well as home made food. Places to visit include Berwick-upon-Tweed, 13 miles, Bamburgh with its castle, 15 miles, Seahouses for boat trips to the Farne Islands, 19 miles, and Beadnell, 20 miles. Go hill walking in the Cheviot Hills and Northumberland National Park, or visit the many historic houses, gardens and abbeys in the Scottish Borders. Edinburgh is 40 minutes by train from Berwick. Beach 440 yards. Shop ¼ mile, pub and restaurant 185 yards.

I booked the Granary on Holy Island as a surprise for my mum's 60th.

I booked the Granary on Holy Island as a surprise for my mum's 60th. There were 7 of us in total and we had a lovely time. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed. We brought our own washing up liquid etc but general pots/pans/plates etc were all provided. The living room had beautiful views of both castles. We went for a walk around the first day and the views and scenery were lovely. When reading the description I was worried we were going to have trouble getting parked as we had 3 cars but it was absolutely no problem at all. The fire was so lovely and cosy, it was home from home. Just a beautiful part of the world and we will definitely be going back to visit again. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Beautiful location with views of the castle and the harbour and the Priory.

Beautiful location with views of the castle and the harbour and the Priory. Would have been better if the property had a patio or deck area. Access to the house is through the neighbours yard. However the neighbours were very welcoming and friendly. We dined at the Ship and Crown & Anchor both were excellent. The island is sometimes crowded with day trippers when the tide is out but transformed into a idyllic paradise when the tide comes in. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo
