About the Owners

Cherry and Ian love the Holy Island and visited many times before being able to purchase our own small piece, in the form of Britannia Cottage.

Cherry is a retired teacher and Ian is a chartered mechanical engineer and locksmith. We now spend our time and efforts investing in property. Where possible these are used for social housing, used for local charitable purposes. Britannia Cottage however is a decision made with the heart - not for profitable purposes and we run it on an approximately break-even basis.

We still love staying on Lindisfarne, and despite the compulsion to always be working to improve the cottage when we stay we find it very relaxing and are always envious of our guest staying there. We particularly enjoy the special periods when the tide is in and no cars move around and there is a unique feeling of peace.

We love to share it with you though and want to make your stays here as enjoyable and comfortable as possible.
