Curlew Cottage, 2 Fenkle Street

About this property

Situated in a prime location in the centre of the village is this incredible property, a honeypot cottage from where family and friends can explore the sought-after Holy Island in all its glory. Be sure to check the tides before exploring the island as it is accessed via a long causeway that becomes completely inaccessible when the tide comes in. Start your adventure at Curlew Cottage and settle in for a cosy evening in front of the woodburning stove, admiring the sitting room's interior as you flick through the TV for an evening film. From the kitchen, fitted with all the necessary appliances, rustle up delicious meals for you and your guests, whilst an alternative dining arrangement awaits in the rear courtyard, perfect for alfresco dining. Also on the ground floor is a handy cloakroom, whilst the main family bathroom hosts a bath with a power shower, great for a morning refresh. Continuing to impress on the first floor are three spacious bedrooms with attractive décor and ample storage, comprising a king-size, a twin and a trundle room, ensuring a flexible sleeping arrangement. Curlew Cottage is just a short walk away from all the amenities, gift shops and pubs, as well as the ruins of Lindisfarne Priory and the Lindisfarne Heritage Centre. Only basic groceries available on the Island, please plan ahead for your food shopping. Explore the surrounding area of Holy Island with the popular Lindisfarne Castle and the incredible St Cuthbert’s Way, a long-distance walking trail which boasts awe-inspiring views for nature lovers and photographers. More outdoor adventure awaits down the coast, heading along the Northumberland Coast Path over to Bamburgh, the castle and Grace Darling museum offering a day out filled with rich history. Other must-see destinations await at the charming market town of Alnwick where you'll find Alnwick Castle and Gardens, where alot of scenes from Harry Potter were filmed; Berwick-upon-Tweed with its ancient Elizabethan walls and castle; and the gateway to the Farne Islands at Seahouses with the renowned Grace Darling lighthouse.
