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.

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.

Just had a week at Rock Mill Cottage.. Fantastic location, lovely cottage and extremely friendly and helpful hosts, thank you! The cottage was ideal for the four of us (2 kids, 2 adults) and a brilliant base to explore the activities and sites in the area. Brilliant, loved every minute of it and will definitely be back at some point.

We had such a lovely stay at Rock Mill Cottage - the owners were welcoming, friendly and really helpful (Elaine even hung our washing out for us! ) The cottage itself was cosy and well equipped, and had everything we needed for a stay with two young children. We would highly recommend it!

A wonderful property in a beautiful, quiet location amongst fields and wildlife, yet close to the coast and nearby villages with their great pubs and food.. Great host, helpful and friendly upon arrival, and on hand for any issues if needed thereafter. We’d love to return some day.

A lovely cosy cottage in the country but not for from the A1 and ideal for exploring the beautiful Northumberland coastline. It was stylishly decortated, very clean, and it had a lovely log burner which we made full use of in the evenings. The owners, Elaine & Jeremy, were very friendly, helpful, and most welcoming. We had a wonderful week with good weather & were very lucky considering it was October. It was an ideal base for exploring the beautiful Northumberland coastline, with great pubs serving good food only a short drive away. We would definitely recommend this lovely cottage & hope to return there again soon.

Mr Davis

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!

Mrs Fry

Lovely, homely cottage, especially during the chill evenings of November, the wooding-burning stove was great and cheerful. Very quiet and peaceful location, will definitely return again in late Spring when hopefully the weather will be kinder.

Lovely property, peaceful location and very helpful, friendly owners.. The cottage was tastefully furnished to a high quality and well-equipped. The location was excellent for exploring the area. Would definitely stay there again and we were delighted with this accommodation.

We used the Cottage as a base whilst playing the various golf courses in the area each day. The Cottage was in a super spot - well equipped, great wifi, and quiet. We had a fantastic time and really enjoyed the little touches that make all the difference when you are away. Many thanks for a lovely stay.

Rock Mill Cottage is part of a farm stead, tucked away down a long lane, a real gem in the middle of no-where. If you like waking up to the sound of bird song not traffic noise then this place is for you. Owners Jeremy and Elaine very helpful when queries arose and he even made a fire for us on the first night as the storage heaters had been switched off and the Northumberland June evening was chilly! Shame about the weather but an ideal base for touring round the area with castles / towns / beaches / excellent pubs all within easy striking distance. Lovely scenery when we could see it when the mist parted. Recommended.

I thoroughly enjoyed Rock Mill Cottage for many reasons. The location was excellent with many roads leading to all sorts of interesting places, such as the Castles. We ventured out everyday knowing we would return to the comforts of the cottage coupled with very peaceful surroundings. The cottage was extremely comfortable and beautifully decorated with more than enough of everything.

A great location, quiet and peaceful yet centrally sited between many attractions.

Spent 5 nights staying in your Rock Mill Cottage over February Half Term. The cottage was a great base to explore Northumberland. Nice walks from the cottage - close to Embleton Bay and the fantastic Ship Inn and Pilgrim's Arms pubs. The accommodation was perfect for our family (2 adults / 2 children) stylishly decorated, really clean, warm and comfortable - a great place to relax and unwind. Jeremy and Elaine did a great job of making us feel welcome.

Had a wonderful week in this lovely cottage. So peaceful waking up to nothing but birdsong! The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped . The wood burning stove made for cosy evenings after exploring the beautiful Northumberland coastline. Plenty of lovely walks on this stunning coastline, and there are plenty of places to visit. Spoiled for choice on where to eat. We were joined for a couple of nights by our sons, both in their 20's who said the bunk beds were comfy! The owner Jeremy welcomed us he was really friendly and very helpful - and no need for a good food guide as his recommendations were spot on. We look forward to returning!

Very clean, comfortable and charming character cottage in a brilliant location for exploring the Northumberland coast. The owner was very friendly and gave us loads of tips about local places to eat and drink (accurate tips, too!). The quiet location meant we slept extremely well and had total privacy too. Great place and we have already recommended it to family.

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!

Mr Phelan

Fantastic location with a feeling of peace and perfect isolation when returning to the cottage from days out. Owners were friendly and made us feel very welcome.

Excellent location with easy access to A1 and surrounding area. Very pretty countryside all around the cottage and the cottage itself was charming. Really loved the log burner. Going to have to get one at home. Very smart kitchen with everything we needed and more. The owners were very friendly and delivered excellent service. We never had to make any requests because they had catered for all our needs perfectly. Would be our first call if we were to return to the area.

This was an excellent choice by my wife. We travelled with an 18 month old baby and wanted to have all the comforts of home to make our stay relaxing. The cottage provided everything as advertised with no surprises. Take a look at the pictures. It really is that pretty and well appointed. As for location, it was excellent. Out in the country yet only a couple of miles from the A1 for easy access to Alnick and the surrounding area. The hosts Jeremy and Elaine were equally pleasing. Very friendly and certainly gave the impression they were there to help with any requests. We never made any requests because we were very satisfied with things as we found them. Well done! Would not hesitate to recommend this cottage. If your needs are for a bigger cottage there is another larger one on site also. Well worth a phone call to check it out.

We booked the cottage for a special occasion and were made to feel very welcome by the owners. The cottage was cosy with a woodburner in the living room, comfortable bedrooms, modern downstairs bathroom and a small kitchen with plenty crockery for our family who visited us and we felt very at home there. The setting, in the heart of the lovely Northumbrian countryside, close to beautiful unspoilt beaches, is very peaceful and we had a very enjoyable, restful holiday with pleasant walks in the autumn sunshine and visits to interesting local villages and castles, including the nearby historic town of Alnwick. Although the road to Rock Mill has an uneven surface it was well worth the drive to such a haven of tranquility in such lovely rural surroundings.
