Rock Mill Cottage

About this property

Rock 1 mile, Embleton 3 miles. A charming early-18th century Northumbrian rural retreat, which adjoins the owners' tranquil farmhouse and garden in the scattered rural hamlet of Rock. Just 3 miles inland from beautiful bays at Embleton and Low Newton-by-the-Sea, Rock Mill Cottage has been sympathetically restored to provide tasteful, comfortable accommodation. Surrounded by spectacular wide open countryside, the location is idyllic - perfect for a relaxing break. Alnwick is just 6.5 miles to the west, whilst Lindisfarne on Holy Island lies proudly on the horizon some 24 miles to the north. With picture postcard beaches and good real ale pubs and restaurants in abundance (including the owners' favourite, The Ship Inn at Low Newton-by-the-Sea) this is a superb country holiday paradise! Note: This property is adjacent to Refs. 1786 and 29817, and together they can accommodate up to 12 people.

The pretty village of Embleton is ideal for exploring the Northumbrian Heritage Coast. It is served by four pubs, two of which serve food. Grey's Inn also has 3 open fires, making a winter pint a cosy experience. The Embleton Heritage Trails Project consists of 6 trails to help you explore the history and heritage of the village. The trails range from a short walk around Embleton to a six-mile trail that takes you into the tranquil countryside. On the yellow sand of Embleton Bay near the sand dunes is a large grey rock called 'Bathing Rock'. A little to the northwest of this is the famous 'Vanishing Rock' on which the name 'Andra Barton' is carved. Barton was a Scottish pirate, killed in a sea battle with the English in 1511. Embleton is also within easy reach of other local attractions, such as Alnwick Castle and Dunstanburgh's golf course.
