There really is something special about crossing the causeway to the island and passing the sand dunes as you reach Holy Island.. All on the

Oil fired central heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included.. Rear patio with sitting-out area. On road parking. No smoking.. This fabulous apartment is on the ground floor of the building and has been updated with guest comfort in mind. Both bedrooms sleep 2 each and the larger has an en-suite shower room for the 2 luckier guests. One bedroom is fitted as a twin and one as a double. A second shower room is provided with central access from the rest of the apartment. The living room has recently been enlarged to create more space for guests with a separate dining area. It is a fabulous place to relax after a day’s exploring. Please note, whilst the upstairs apartment is often unoccupied it is possible to hear some noise when guests are staying upstairs. The kitchen is at the rear and with access to a private rear patio for summer dining. The kitchen has an electric oven and hob with the expected modern appliances found in a holiday home. Lower Bamburgh view is literally in the centre of the village and is a stone’s throw from the shops and pubs, so you’ll not go hungry or thirsty. The excellent eating places on the island get booked up well in advance during busy periods. We recommend that you book well in advance to avoid disappointment. Berwick is around a 15 minute drive and is the nearest large town in the area. The varied range of activities through Northumberland and the nearby Scottish Borders is massive and whether its sea kayaking, diving, hill walking or beaches or even riding a bike over hills or through woods, the list is endless. The Island with the Priory and nearby Bamburgh with the castle are ’Must do’s’ - don’t forget your camera!
Free WiFi
Please note there may be occasional noise from the upstairs apartment.
If you are planning to have food delivered for your stay both Asda and Tesco provide this service to the island.

This accommodation is in a lovely setting, but a shame it hasn’t been presented better. It feels as though everything is cheap & basic - duvets, thin cutlery, door frames not painted properly. The sofas are nice though. The main issue is the noise from the upstairs apartment - the floorboards are all very squeaky so we heard every footstep.

Perfect for a long weekend. Right in the heart of the village. Clean, secure and comfortable. Nice selection books, games and DVDs. Outside seating area a nice bonus.
