Holiday on Lutyens’ Holy Island
You can now holiday on Holy Island in the Lutyens-designed property there, courtesy of the National Trust

St Oswald's, the cottage designed by Lutyens on Holy Island, off the coast of Northumberland, is now available for holiday lets, through the National Trust.
It was built in about 1912, as part of the portfolio of Lindisfarne Castle, originally owned by COUNTRY LIFE's first proprietor, Edward Hudson, for whom Lutyens remodelled the Tudor castle perched on a rocky crag into an Edwardian home.
The three-bedroom cottage has unrivalled views and Lutyens features, such as a steep pantiled roof. A week's rent ranges from £373 to £1,275. Visit www. nationaltrustcottages.co.uk.
Exquisite houses, the beauty of Nature, and how to get the most from your life, straight to your inbox.
Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by His Majesty The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
