Cottage holiday rentals in Holy Island

A very peaceful and quiet retreat in a lovely part of the North East. It was so quiet and relaxing spending time in the hot tub and inside the cottage. Although this is no fault of Rachael's and/or the cottage please be wary that if you're over 6 foot you will be ducking a lot! I banged my head twice coming out of the bathroom when going during the night and still half asleep (again, this is nothing against the host or the location - just a pre-warning!)

The Studio was lovely, all fixtures and fitting are of a very high quality, the pictures of the view didn’t really do it justice, it is truly beautiful and the valley changed continuously giving a unique vista on an almost nonstop basis. We had to arrive a day late due to a fallen tree on the approach road to the property, our host was very communicative and kept us informed about the progress. They also kindly allowed us to check out late on our departure day. We would highly recommend this property and are already planning to return in the future.

Lovely house, Courtney is friendly and super quick at replying to any questions. Awesome location and we’ve all said we’d happily book to stay again when visiting Newcastle x

We have just returned from 4 nights at this gorgeous place! (2 couples who are best friends) The house is absolutely stunning and kept in fantastic condition. The hot tub was particularly amazing even in the snowy weather! The bedrooms are really spacious, comfy and have everything you need. Bathrooms are top quality and kept really clean. The kitchen is well equipped and there were some snacks and things left for us which was lovely! We loved the underfloor heating near the table area, especially after getting out of the tub! Everything was exactly how we imagined and we loved exploring the area! Thank you very much Hayley, a fantastic few days x

Fantastic long weekend away for our 27th wedding anniversary. Accommodation is spectacular and just as described. Hot tub was wonderful. Would highly recommend staying here. Thanks Rebecca for giving us a late checkout, it made for a relaxing drive home.

Our stay was absolutely perfect. Paul & Debbie are amazing hosts who are willing to help with anything we asked. Although just a short drive from Newcastle, we felt as though we were in the middle of nowhere surrounded by beautiful countryside. The cottage is gorgeous and extremely comfortable with everything you need including the most amazing private hottub. But the most amazing experience is with the alpacas who you can see from the cottage, have the opportunity to feed them and even take them for a walk which was just incredible. We were sorry to have to leave but will most definitely be returning! Thank you Paul & Debbie 😀

Had an absolutely amazing time here! 5 of us squished in nicely for the weekend and had an amazing time. We got the hot tub working and it was nice to be able to having something to do and watch whilst chilling, did find it a little tricky to maintain the temperature throughout the day. We cooked loads and there were loads of pans, pots, cutlery and everything else we needed to cook. Only thing that was tricky was the smoke alarm kept going off despite the doors and windows all being open. Was solved by wafting a tea towel at it but was still a little annoying. The place feels really spacious despite being quite small because of the skylights and windows so that was amazing. The hosts were wonderful and great at replying so we honestly couldnt really fault the place and are hoping to come back again for another little weekend away!!!

Four of us have just spent 3 nights in Peewit Cottage. From the moment we arrived, we all felt right at home, the place was spotless, beds very comfortable too! Everything you could possibly need for a self catering stay was provided. Having the private hot tub was fabulous, we loved it after full days of being tourists in the local area. On a separate note, we would highly recommend a visit to Beamish Museum which was about a 30 min drive, we also spent a day in Durham City & booked a 2.5 hr History/City Tour with walkaboutdurham - highly recommended. Tour Guide Peter is very knowledgeable & so passionate about his job plus he gives everyone a "free" cocktail voucher for Turtle Bay - well deserved after 2.5hrs walking around the City 🤣🤣

Amazing from start to finish. Philippa is the perfect host - we stayed with our children and forgot our stroller 🙈 she kindly left us one to use during her stay. The cottage was lovely and clean, everything there you needed! Comfy bed and very spacious! Views were stunning - a real treat waking up to the Northumberland countryside.

A beautiful place to stay inside and out. The views were breathtaking! Our little dogs loved playing in the garden which was well fenced (even our mischievous Westie couldn’t find a way to escape!) The fire was such a nice touch, we loved having fires each day. Wood was supplied if you didn’t use the heating which was great! Coming from a city we don’t have a fire so happy to not use the heating! Kate was so responsive and really friendly. We even had some fresh eggs from her hens which was so lovely. We were thrilled to see the property in snow on our last night/day it really just rounded off our stay perfectly! If you are thinking about booking..do it! Also the shower is great! (Always something I judge! Haha) Can’t wait to rebook!❤️

Superb cottage in a superb location and wonderful to have the hotel around the corner. Staff so helpful and friendly, it really made a difference to our stay.

We love this property, it’s our second stay now. Just right for accessing Sunderland and minutes from the seafront. We shall be visiting again.

We have had the most wonderful Christmas at the Garden Cottage. We spent Christmas Day walking on the beach. A peaceful, rural location with a big enclosed garden. Perfect for our dogs. The cottage is trendy and has lots of space with Beautiful furniture. Truly a home from home. The hosts were amazing! Thank you Macy and Seth

Had a wonderful stay at Mary’s Cottage. A perfect place to stay and explore the Northumberland coast. The cottage is really cosy and has everything you need. Julie and Nigel are great hosts. The birthday card for my partner as well as the homemade dog treats for our pup just made it special. Thank you so much

What can I say... Absolutely fantastic place. You couldn't ask for anything more. Really peaceful location with fantastic views of the hills etc. We had a strange issue but this was sorted out very swiftly by Malcolm 👍 We will definitely be looking to book again and have another peaceful time just watching the world go by. Thanks Bob & Chris

A five star review for a high quality cottage. Excellent and very quiet location, ample parking by the property, superbly furnished, well equipped and spotlessly clean. Caroline was extremely helpful. I would thoroughly recommend this property.

We couldn't be happier with our stay at Sunrise Cottage. The house was cosy, beautifully decorated and immaculately clean. Peter kindly provided tea, milk and butter which was so helpful. Would highly recommend and we would love to stay again!

Wow where do I start , the cottage is beautiful warm and cosy , extremely clean , felt right at home , well equipped, everything you need , want to live there 😀

We would definitely recommend to stay here! This cosy cottage is the perfect place for some peace. The log burner is well equipped and very warm. James was a great host and made us feel very welcome. He was attentive, happy to help and share advice/ recommendations on the local area which had plenty of walks, places to eat etc. If the sky is clear you will be in for a treat with the sky! 🌌

Pam and Richard's place is utterly fantastic. Gorgeous decor, warm, peaceful, comfortable and spotless. Could not have been better. They are brilliant hosts, too. Pam's baked treats really made our day. Couldn't recommend highly enough.

Toasty warm lodge, despite wintery conditions. Very well thought-out accommodation meant that we were extremely comfortable. The added welcome goodies were much appreciated. We’ll stay here again when we are next in this stunning part of the UK (if it’s available!).

We had a great stay in Fraser Cottage - much bigger than expected, beautifully decorated, well equipped, warm and cosy, super close to the beach and fab restaurants and easy to both get into town and to all the lovely nearby beaches and coastline. We really appreciated the welcome pack and friendly, responsive host too. A great find!

What a fantastic find, a beautiful cottage in a great location. From walking in we knew we had found a great home from home, it was easy to find and located in a lovely little village. The local pub the Northumberland was 2 mins walk and had a fantastic menu which we enjoyed, local beaches were only 15 minutes away and dog friendly. What a great 3 day break which is just what we needed. Thank you Andrew (Host). We will definitely be back.

The cottage was heavenly! Beautiful surrounding gardens and extremely private, making it the perfect getaway to escape the day to day grind. The cottage felt so homely, it was hard to leave, and would definitely love to stay again.
