Reviews

Beautiful home every thing you could need .A must to do ,walk to local church lots of history on the door step.

Mrs H,

A lovely house, ideal for a large group, sympathetically renovated and clean. Due to its spacious open plan living areas, it worked well for our multi generational group. In a pretty little village, with lots of local walks and not far from beaches. To make future stays perfect, we feel that the owners need to fine tune their provision- the kitchen was poorly equipped and some of the fixtures and fittings needed repairing. With a little more attention to detail, this would be an outstanding property.

Ms C,

We had a lovely week at the Old Mill. It’s in a great location with uninterrupted views of open fields with big skies and a lovely outdoor space to sit and listen to the stream. Comfy beds, good showers and large living spaces for family groups. 10 mins drive to Alnwick for shops. Close to the coast. Would recommend!

Dr P,

Fabulous property in a great location - very handy for many great attractions.

Mr H,

The location was exceptional very quite with good views of the fields and the sea in the distance. The whole Faulkner family enjoyed their stay and will visit the area again.

Mr F,

We’ve had a wonderful stay. The house is very well equipped and the views from some of the bedrooms are simply spectacular! It is spacious, so is very well suited to a holiday shared with family / friends. It is also within short distance of some really beautiful tourist attractions. All in all, one of the best holiday homes we have stayed in, if not, the best.

Mrs A,

A very well-designed conversion from an old mill to a comfortable modern house. Superbly finished and very well equipped, the house is in a very peaceful location with wonderful views from the balcony (including regular visits from a barn owl). We had a lovely stay and found the location to be ideally suited for exploring Northumberland.

Mr R,

This was our third visit and, as usual, the property met all our needs. There was plenty of space for our multi generational family consisting of a toddler and his parents and grandparents. In fact, we enjoyed it so much we're planning to return in 2025.

Mrs P,

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Old Mill. The accommodation was spacious and the building has been restored to a very high standard. We would be very happy to make a return visit.

Mrs G,

A stunning house which suited our three generations down to the ground. There was plenty of space inside the house for us not to feel on top of each other and it was well equipped apart from we could not find any spare loo rolls and bin liners. We appreciated the Bbq which was not mentioned in the inventory. The views were stunning and we are treated to a barn owl hunting at dusk. We regretted not taking binoculars! The children enjoyed the garden and swing and the location is excellent being close to the beach, Alnwick, and Bamburgh. We certainly hope to return as we had a fabulous holiday.

Mrs J,

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Old Mill, a lovely quiet setting with beautiful views. We visited Bamburgh castle, Alnwick, the beautiful beaches and had a boat trip round the Farne Islands to see puffins! Would recommend The Jolly Fisherman in Craster for great food.

Mrs V,

Beautiful and spacious house. Tastefully decorated and well equipped. Wouldn't hesitate to return.

Mrs C,

Loved the house. Great location, all the facilities anyone could ask for

Ms G,

Location

Rock

This historic estate village has been owned by the same family for over 200 years. It is a designated conservation area centering around Rock Hall (a former small private preparatory school, now privately owned) and the Norman church of St Philip and St James. To the north of the village, you will find the village cricket ground, to the east the mill pond and further east, the sea. Rock is a 10 minute drive from Alnwick market town which has become famous in recent years for its castle and the role it played in Harry Potter films. The town has other buildings of historical interest, a traditional market square with farmer's markets and food festivals and the popular Alnwick Garden, the brainchild of the Duchess of Northumberland whose home is Alnwick Castle.

The village itself is surrounded by farmland and there are walks and trails for all ages. Of particular interest to some guests will be the pub in the neighbouring village of Rennington.

For further information on the area, see our Craster, Embleton and Alnmouth section.
