Rock Mill Cottage, Embleton

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Rock Mill Cottage was an ideal location for visiting lots of places. The scenery is beautiful and so was the weather.

Lovely, peaceful location and comfortable accommodation.

Nice rural location. Great beaches to walk on and a nice coastline to explore. Fantastic night sky as no light pollution.

The cottage was very comfortable, clean and was a very good base for travelling around the sites of the Northumberland coast. This was our first holiday in this part of England - Wonderful.

It was absolutely amazing the cottage was warm and just what we wanted, a lot of things to do but not had enough time, very relaxing

The area that the cottage is situated in is wonderful. The cottage is perfect for a small family, and we all thoroughly enjoyed it.

The owners were welcoming and gave us good advice about local places of interest and restaurants.

Location was perfect to see the lovely sights of Northumberland. The cottage was cosy, clean, quiet and relaxing. Fantastic!

The decor of the cottage and its cleanliness. Also the outside space at front and back. In addition its central location enabled easy access to many different areas of the coast. Friendly owner too.

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!

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 appreciated the individual & tastefully decorated interior of this cottage. The owners were very friendly and helpful and the situation was perfect for exploring the beautiful Northumberland coast.

A lovely cottage, beautifully furnished and in a quiet peaceful location. The owners were very friendly and helpful, we would love to visit again!

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.

Owners were very welcoming. Booked at short notice but property was well prepared on arrival and nothing seemed too much trouble. Extremely peaceful position. We have 2 boys and they really enjoyed the stay with a safe field to play in and feeding the chickens and geese each day.

The cottage was lovely, in a brilliant location and really cosy on cold nights. Also the owners were very friendly and helpful. We will definitely visit again.

A very peaceful location. the cottage was beautifully decorated throughout, extremely clean on arrival and the owners, who lived next door, were on hand should there have been any problems (there were none). The area is very well set for visiting many interesting places - a stunning area for a holiday, one which I enjoyed immensely.

We loved the cottage and it's location. The owners (and their dogs!) were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Our favourite UK holiday so far.

Good central location for attractions. lovely and quiet with lots of wildlife around.

The area was beautiful. The cottage was quiet and relaxing. The owner was helpful and let our daughter feed the ducks and hold the hens and chicks. Great wood burning stove for chilly evenings. The cottage had everything you needed. Lovely location and quiet to come back to.

Great holiday. Nice property in a quiet location. Great open fire and relaxing living area. Would definitely go back.

We really enjoyed both the immediate environs (space all around, livestock to feed) and the location of this property. Thank you very much, we had a lovely time.

Spacious cottage in a lovely tranquil setting, near to beaches. Big garden for the children to play in and was made to feel welcome by the owners.

Nice central location for exploring Northumbria.

Comfortable property well placed for tourist attractions and enjoying the coast. Hosts were helpful and friendly.

We were lucky with the weather, which made the beaches more accessible. The cottage is situated at a very convenient location for a range of fantastic coastline locations and has a wide range of eating places nearby. Alnwick Gardens is a great place to visit.

Location of property was ideal for touring area - nice and quiet.

Beautifully well maintained cottage in a fabulous area.

All of the holiday was great, the beaches are suited to children with them being shallow and clean.

Beautiful, very peaceful setting, lovely cottage, friendly landlord, dogs and ducks.

We love this area - lots to do and so unspoilt. One of the best cottages we have stayed in. Kitchen facilities excellent, furnishings and carpets were lovely and everything was new. Lots of safe space for children to play and we all like the ducks and dogs(though owners were careful not to let dogs out until we asked about them). We would certainly stay here again if in the area. Our second Sykes cottage - we have been very pleased with both. Thank you!

Cottage beautifully restored and freshly decorated. Our stay was very relaxing. Children enjoyed playing in garden with dogs and ducks. Owners friendly and helpful.

Comfort provided by cottage made for a relaxing holiday.

A lovely area, and friendly owners living next door, but they did not intrude. We liked the ducks and geese.

Very relaxing ambience, peace and quiet, nesting birds, resident ducks etc. Very comfortable bed. Owners very nice.

The cottage was very comfortable and the owners made us really welcome.

The setting was very peaceful, close to beaches and countryside, but easily accessible to A1.

We liked the fact that the cottage was very remote and the coal/log burner in the lounge made it very cosy.
