Eden Cottage is located on the Holy Island of Lindisfarne just a few miles off the Northumberland coast. Cut off twice-daily from the rest of the world due to the fast-moving tides of the North Sea, the island has a truly magical feel. Occasionally grey seals can be seen sunning themselves on the coastline or bobbing through the waters. If you’d like unspoilt sandy shores, head to Coves Haven beach on the northern side of Holy Island. High sand dunes and steep cliffs shelter this small, remote beach making it the perfect spot to relax. Rising from the rock face, you can’t miss Lindisfarne Castle which was originally built in 1550 as a fort to defend the harbour. Restored back in 2017, you can visit the castle today to take in the outstanding architecture, history and views. With plenty of landscapes to discover, Lindisfarne is very popular with walkers. It is even the final destination of St Cuthbert’s Way, one of Scotland’s Great Trails. There is an array of wildlife throughout the island, from the mudflats to the dunes which together form the Lindisfarne National Nature Reserve. You’ll find a whole host of different bird breeds such as the pale-bellied brent geese bar-tailed godwits.

We loved our stay at Eden cottage. We go back to Holy Island every year and love our times there. This is a very cute and private cottage. Is needs a few things sorted but all in all it’s a very nice place to stay compared to many of the houses we’ve stayed at over the years.

Great house and wonderful location on Holy Island. Cleaning team were wonderful with helping us. I did wonder whether the responses I received were bot or generically generated because the information. provided to me about the information/ heritage centre was factually incorrect. A radio in the kitchen would've been a nice touch.

We were a family of four who enjoyed a lovely three-day stay. The location was fantastic, and the cabin was spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was narrow, but we managed by moving the table against the wall. Upon arrival, we discovered a significant number of spiders, estimated between 50 and 100, that we had to remove ourselves. There were also cobwebs in several corners. We contacted the host, who responded quickly and was very accommodating. They arranged for an extra cleaning the next day. However, it seemed their focus remained on the floors, not the spider issue. We wanted to use the fireplace but couldn’t find any matches. There was also no laundry detergent, which was disappointing after a week in Scotland. Toilet paper was limited too, though that could probably have been resolved with another message to the host. A big plus was the available first aid kit, it actually came in handy when I cut myself on a shell along the Pilgrims’ Way Causeway Footpath.
