Sean July 2024

“Attracted by its remoteness, we were not disappointed.”

Close enough to Alnwick, Lindesfarne and Bamburgh, our 6 night stay was wonderful. The cottage was cosy, suited all our needs and was perfect. Lucky with the weather, but the cottage had a log burner to take away any evening chills (the owners kindly lit it for us prior to our arrival which was most welcoming!). A lovely aspect from all windows, surrounded by nature and calmness, a most re-energizing break from the daily drudge. Our first Northumberian holiday was amazing.

- Sean, July 2024
Rachel May 2024

“The owners were very friendly and welcoming, checked we had everything we needed and provided plenty of fuel for the log burner which made the cottage very warm and cosy.”

The beds were comfortable with clean fresh linen and the rooms had plenty of storage. Lots of fresh towels and everything you needed in the kitchen. Would definitely stay again.

- Rachel, May 2024
Joanne April 2024

“We have had a lovely week in Rock Cottage with our 2 dogs.”

It's a pity the storage heaters were not turned on prior to arrival especially when we arrived a day later than booked. By day 3 the house was cosy .

- Joanne, April 2024
Andy April 2024

“Great location and obviously has been a fantastic cottage in the past but sadly several aspects need attention.”

There are many, many positives including the pristine kitchen and modern appliances. Pans, crockery etc are spotless; there are new rugs and bedding/towels are excellent quality. Welcome pack was lovely. Unfortunately the pictures on Sykes are outdated and reflect a newly renovated property. The reality is garden furniture that is mouldy and needs scraping, painting and generally cleaning to be useable. The decking needs jet washing and de- moulding, the rails need scraping and cleaning. All general maintenance that would make a big difference. The shower control is broken and needs a new control button. These are simple fixes but as the complex is currently for sale it just seems that standards have lapsed pre sale. The biggest issue for us that impacted negatively on our stay was the lack of warmth in the cottage. It is an old building but the storage/ radiator heating system is very inefficient as is the log burner. I’m sure this isn’t an issue in the warmer months but we could not get the cottage warm and the bedroom was like an ice box and thoroughly unpleasant to be in. There are a couple of throws in the lounge but it’s not my idea of a holiday to have to wrap up in a blanket to cope with the cold in the lounge. The wifi is not as advertised and is so slow to be virtually useless. The smart tv is dated with distorted picture quality and needs replacing. The unadopted private drive is very bumpy but you are warned in advance, however the massive dip/pothole half way down is quite frightening when it floods in heavy rain. Despite the faults we did have a nice holiday overall but it is not a property that we would wish to return to in it’s current state.

Jane October 2021

“Due to a cancellation the owners of Rock Mill generously offered us an upgrade so our review is based on Newton Retreat.”

The house was very well equipped clean and comfortable and Jeremy the owner helpful and friendly, in a lovely position with views over the fields where we saw hares and deer. Sykes however had not informed the hosts that were arriving a day late even though I had been assured when booking they would do and I even sent a reminder email; no reply. The hosts were concerned and messaged me to see if we were alright.

- Jane, October 2021

Thank you for your excellent feedback, we always try to upgrade our visitors where possible. We look forwards to seeing you again soon. Property Owner
Terry October 2021

“Fantastic experience @ Rock Mill Cottage.”

Excellent facilities and so comfortable. Really loved the log burner and had it on all the time we were in during the evenings. Logs provided in rear shed so only kindling to buy. Lovely welcome and pack from owner Jeremy upon arrival. Extremely attentive and encouraged us to enquire about anything. Great location for exploring this beautiful part of England and the world. Can’t wait to stay here again.

- Terry, October 2021

Thanks Terry, we enjoy being around and helping our visitors where we can, we look forward to seeing you again soon Property Owner

“The setting of the cottage is beautiful.”

So peaceful! Plenty of outside space to the front and rear of the property as well as a large grassed area to the front. The location is perfect for exploring all of the local sights. Comfortable beds and everything you could need in the property including a basket of goodies on arrival. Owners are helpful and friendly should you need them.

Lucy October 2020

“We’ve had a lovely few days at Rock Mill Cottage.”

The cottage was well appointed and comfortable and a great base to explore the beautiful countryside. Low Newton by the Sea has a beautiful beach and is only a five minute drive away. The bed in the master bedroom isn’t ideal for anyone over about 5ft 8 though due to the style of bed - it has a foot board at the bottom - that’s the only thing I would change.

- Lucy, October 2020

I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay here at Rock Mill and I'm really sorry that our standard double sleigh bed proved to be a bit of a squeeze for you. Property Owner
Michael October 2020

“Very well equipped, with more supplies than we expected (eg dishwasher tablets, aluminium foil, etc).”

Wood for the stove was also appreciated. Only complaint - bed was a little uncomfortable particularly for me as I am 6ft 2in tall and my feet were against the base board.

- Michael, October 2020

I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay here at rock Mill and I'm so sorry our standard double sleigh bed meant your poor feet were right next to the footboard! Property Owner
Elizabeth August 2020

“We enjoyed a lovely week at Rock Mill cottage.”

It is perfectly situated for access to the gorgeous villages and beaches of Northumberland and close to Alnwick too for access to a larger range of shops etc. The cottage itself is extremely comfortable with everything you would expect or need. The owners live on the same site and were very friendly and helpful. There are 2 other holiday properties there as well and plenty of space to accommodate all.

- Elizabeth, August 2020

Thanks Liz for your lovely feedback, we are so lucky here at Rock Mill to be so close to some of the best beaches in Northumberland Property Owner
Jo July 2020

“Just had a week at Rock Mill Cottage.”

Timothy September 2018

“The cottage was very cosy, clean and comfortable.”

Our only problem was that the cottage was not that easy to find. We arrived in the dark and there was no sign at the end of the lane to direct us. There was a pole for the sign but no sign of the name of the property on it!

- Timothy, September 2018

Thankyou for your kind feedback, unfortunately our end of road sign did not survive storm Arwen, it back in all it's glory now, sorry you found it's absence a nuisance! Property Owner

Cate July 2012

“The cottage was lovely and in a very pretty quiet location.”

The owners were extremely helpful and friendly. The area around Embleton is beautiful and there is so much to do in this unspoilt county. The only problem was that a week isn't long enough to explore all that Northumberland has to offer!

One of the best cottages we have stayed in. Kitchen facilities excellent, furnishings and carpets were lovely and everything was new.
