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!)

Thank you so much for such a lovely stay. The accommodation was really lovely, warm and comfortable with amazing views. We enjoyed the walks from the door and Melrose was wonderful. The lemon drizzle cake, wine, flowers and milk were very kind.

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

Just returned from a lovely 3 night Easter break with the family. It was everything we could have wanted! Fabulous barn and the hot tub was just perfect. Hayley is a great host and would definitely return

We loved our week at Ivy Cottage. Our boys loved the football nets and we all loved the hot tub! The house had everything we needed and we really appreciated the little added extras that made it feel very homely. Great location too. We’ll be back!

I absolutely loved our stay at Barnacre Alpacas, we stayed in the rose cottage, it was very clean and the hot tub was a bonus. We enjoyed the alpaca walk and talk, that was something I’ll never forget! On arrival the cottage was dressed up for a birthday surprise and champagne and chocolates was left for us. Thank you to Paul and Debbie, we will be back!

Stanley Cottage is a little gem, near to the beach, easy access to supermarkets and in a friendly neighbourhood. The hot tub was a highlight, along with the outside room with its ensuite and TV.. a hit with my teenager. Thoughtful supplies on arrival. Thank you Ben.

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 🤣🤣

Great stay in Philippa’s place, very cosy and set out in the countryside. Would definitely come back for some quiet time.

Our stay at Pennys cottage was fabulous, so comfortable and homely, everything we could have wished for, close to harbour and beach, would definitely recommend and hopefully we will stay there again

The Hemmel was a really nice cottage to stay in. It's probably one of the best airbnb's we've been to. Kate was very nice and helpful. The photos don't do it justice as it's even better in the flesh. We were a family of 4 including a baby and it was super comfortable. The cottage is very private and peaceful. The lambs were out when we were there and we saw the red squirrel in garden each day. We'd would definitely return.

Had a lovely stay here. Great location in the centre of the village but still peaceful. The house had everything we needed. Very friendly staff on the hotel reception. We would love to come back.

We had a lovely stay in the cottage, it was clean & tidy, loved the wood burner, the bedrooms were lovely especially the master bedroom…very comfy bed. Loved the garden with lots of different seating areas, beautiful view & very peaceful. A 2 minute walk up to the town for shops, restaurants & bars & a 5 minute walk down to the dairy milk bar for fabulous ice creams & milkshakes. Lots of gorgeous near by walks too. A lovely stay & would definitely book again. Thank you Pam.

My third stay at Nicks place was brilliant. Looking forward to going again soon.

We absolutely loved our stay at Garden cottage, it is a beautiful and cosy retreat with everything you could need for a family of four plus a golden retriever. The enclosed gardens were a real plus point that both the children and the dog loved, and hearing the dawn chorus sat outside the cottage in the morning was beautiful. Lots of lovely walks and history nearby. Chris was extremely kind and helpful during our stay and made us feel very welcome. It is somewhere we will hope to visit again!

This is a beautiful cottage with everything you need for a relaxing stay. It’s in a great location to explore Northumberland but very quiet & private. We self catered but there were plenty of places to eat out in walking distance if you want. We self catered and every piece of equipment you need is in the kitchen, including an air fryer. Our only disappointment was not getting to use the log burner as it wasn’t cold enough !!

Great place and really helpful host. Thank you

Highly enjoyable stay - very easy checkin, great location, very nice cottage. Really easy to get around (with car), Bostock bakery just 5 mins down the road Highly recommended for a nice trip away - Edinburgh was a 40min drive too

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! 🌌

A nice cottage located in beautiful rolling hills, primarily overlooking the West Northumberland scenery. Photos look just like the property and the location is really good, far enough away from any towns yet close enough to Haydon Bridge and Hexham to go for supplies or a restaurant if needed. Awesome views. Cottage was comfortable, bed and pillows are quite soft though. Bathroom was good, nice large shower, well catered for with soaps and shampoos etc. Kitchen was spacious and had everything you needed, besides maybe a few more glass dishes for cooking with. Easily accessible from the road, just down a short driveway to a dedicated gravel car parking spot for 2 cars. Please note that there is a similar holiday cottage right next door, something the photos do not show, so be prepared to share the car park with neighbours and that both the front porches / verandas can somewhat overlook one another to the side and you can hear conversations. All in all a nice stay, would recommend.

For our first family holiday to Northumberland we couldn’t have asked for a nicer place to stay. Candi’s cottage is in an ideal location for Bamburgh, Seahouses and Holy Island, to name but a few. In fact, before arriving, Candi messaged me with some recommendations, which went down a treat with the family! As for the accommodation itself? Immaculate! The kitchen and main bedroom are much bigger than they look on the photos. The kitchen and bathroom have been renovated (recently?) and look lovely. The kitchen has all the utensils you’ll need- even some Tupperware which we used for our picnics! Although we weren’t in the house for long each day, having the Smart TV was a nice touch to wind down after our excursions. All four of us (2 adults, 2 children) slept well and really enjoyed our time in Candi’s cottage. The girls especially appreciated the sheep themed cookies that were left for them. They also loved cartwheeling up and down the garden. A great stay- thanks Candi!

We had a great family gathering to celebrate our Golden Wedding Anniversary with our eldest son and his family next door in #12 and our youngest and wife with us. I am partially disabled due to a fall after our initial booking and expressed my concern about the showering facilities before arriving. Michael responded to this by adding grab rails, shower stool and mat before our arrival. Full marks for that. I had also been concerned by the prospect of climbing stairs, but managed them well enough. The cottage was light, bright and very clean . It is 5 minutes to Cullercoats Bay beach, albeit down a steep hill. There is Co-Op store 5 minutes walk in the other direction. Didn't try the Queen's Head but did go to the free jazz lunchtime session in the Cullercoats Crescent Club and was made most welcome. We would use this cottage again if the occasion shoud arise.

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.

We had a four night break at The Yair and absolutely loved it. The house is lovely inside, cosy, comfortable, and has everything you need for a home away from home. The garden is beautiful and it was very enjoyable spending time outside listening to the birds and stargazing. We have already booked to come back for another stay next year.
