Guests can explore the on‑site distillery that crafts the famed Holy Island Gin from local ingredients or relax in the inviting bar and lounge, sampling CAMRA‑approved cask ales and a range of fine spirits. The inn’s menu celebrates Northumbrian produce with an a‑la‑carte selection of fish, crab and meat, served in a cozy dining room that opens to the island’s landscape.
