Steeped in history and charm, this period cottage retains many of its original features, including exposed oak beams and traditional details, while also offering modern comforts for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. Overlooking the village green — where Queen Elizabeth II planted a tree during her 1958 visit — the cottage is perfectly placed for exploring Holy Island. Local shops and the village pub are just a short stroll away, and Bamburgh, with its iconic castle and spectacular beaches, is just across the causeway. You’re also within easy reach of the Northumberland Dark Skies Park, ideal for stargazing on clear nights.

Inside, the lounge has a lovely home-from-home feel, with a log-burning stove, comfy sofa, and plenty of character. It’s a perfect space to unwind after a day out, whether you’re reading a book, watching a film, or simply enjoying the warmth of the fire. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you’ll need, including an electric oven and hob, separate fridge and freezer, washing machine, and dishwasher. Meals can be shared in the spacious dining room, which has a relaxed, welcoming feel. Upstairs, you’ll find three bedrooms. The master has a king-size bed and calming décor, the twin room enjoys natural light from VELUX-style windows, and the bunk room is best suited to one guest due to the weight restriction on the top bunk. The family bathroom has a shower over the bath and WC, and there’s an additional shower room with a walk-in shower and WC.

To the rear is a small, enclosed patio area — a quiet spot to enjoy your morning coffee, a glass of wine in the evening, or simply take in the peaceful setting.

A great location, comfortable beds and lounge seating. Well equipped kitchen. Take any groceries with you as there are no food shops on the island. Be to prepared to walk, then walk some more, although this isn't arduous as the wildlife and scenery are amazing!

It is a lovely cottage in a great location. This was our 3rd stay on the Island but not been for about 10 years. It seemed busier than I remember but lovely and quiet when the causeway was shut. It is a magical place and we had a very relaxing holiday. Lovely dog walks on deserted sandy beaches..bliss. The cottage is very well equipped and has beenRead more extended since we last stayed with a dining room off the kitchen. There is a wood burner and you can buy logs from the garage just after the causeway Hide

Lovely stay, almost perfect but spoiled by the uncomfortable sofas in the lounge - the ones pictured are not those in-situ.

Lovely comfortable home from home, had almost everything we needed. Location is spot on, when the causeway is closed it's almost other worldly. I have already booked the same cottage for next year. The photos and description on the website require updating - the cottage has been modernised since those published.

Britannia House is a beautiful well equipped holiday property. It is warm and comfortable with plenty of room for multiple guests. The location on the square is perfect. Just over the road from the pub, hotel and mead shop, and only a five minute walk to the beach. Parking was always available even at busy times. We had a lovely holiday and would dRead moreefinitely go back. Hide

Fantastic location in the centre of village. Well equipped cottage, spacious. The dining room with bi-fold doors leading onto the small patio was lovely. Great for walks, visit to the beach. Pubs very close serving lovely food. Booking recommended.

Lovely clean well equipped house in an excellent location. For me the low seating was a problem and spoilt my evenings slightly by having to sit on a hard dinning chair and not being able to relax properly. Saying that I would still recommend this property to anyone wanting a lovely peaceful holiday.
