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.

Located in Berwick-upon-Tweed, this cottage is in a rural area and by the sea. Lindisfarne Centre and Belford and District Hidden History are cultural highlights, and some of the area's landmarks include Haggerston Castle and Royal Tweed Bridge.
