Curlew Cottage, located in the heart of Holy Island, Northumberland, is an exceptional holiday property that accommodates up to six guests across three spacious bedrooms. This charming cottage serves as an ideal base for families and friends looking to explore the picturesque island, renowned for its stunning landscapes and rich history. Visitors are advised to check the tide schedules, as the island is accessible via a causeway that becomes submerged during high tide, adding an element of adventure to the stay. The cottage features a cozy sitting room with a woodburning stove, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration, and a well-equipped kitchen for preparing meals, with an option for alfresco dining in the rear courtyard.
Inside Curlew Cottage, guests can enjoy a comfortable layout that includes a convenient cloakroom on the ground floor and a main family bathroom featuring a bath and power shower. The first floor boasts three tastefully decorated bedrooms: a king-size room, a twin room, and a trundle room, providing flexible sleeping arrangements to accommodate various group configurations. The cottage's location allows easy access to local amenities, including gift shops and pubs, as well as significant historical sites like the ruins of Lindisfarne Priory and the Lindisfarne Heritage Centre, making it a perfect spot for both relaxation and cultural enrichment.
Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty to explore around Holy Island, with attractions such as the iconic Lindisfarne Castle and the scenic St Cuthbert’s Way, a long-distance walking trail that offers breathtaking views ideal for nature lovers and photographers. The Northumberland Coast Path also beckons, leading southward to Bamburgh, where visitors can delve into the area's rich history at the castle and the Grace Darling Museum. This coastal adventure provides a delightful mix of natural beauty and historical intrigue, ensuring that every day is filled with exploration and discovery.
For those seeking further adventure, nearby destinations include the charming market town of Alnwick, home to the famous Alnwick Castle and Gardens, which served as a filming location for several Harry Potter scenes. Additionally, the historic town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, with its ancient Elizabethan walls and castle, and the gateway to the Farne Islands at Seahouses, featuring the renowned Grace Darling lighthouse, are all within reach. Curlew Cottage offers a wonderful opportunity to relax and immerse oneself in the beauty and history of the Northumberland region, making it an ideal choice for a memorable getaway.
