About this property
ROCK MILL COTTAGE, pet friendly, with open fire in Embleton
This delightful 18th Century Northumbrian rural cottage sleeps 4 people across 2 bedrooms in the popular village of Embleton.
Rock Mill Cottage was built in the 18th Century and is located 3 miles outside of Embleton. It has been restored and converted to offer accommodation for up to 4 people. The downstairs living area has been designed in an open plan style and comprises an living/dining area and a modern, fitted kitchen. The cottage also has two bedrooms and a ground floor bathroom. The south-facing garden offers fantastic views and ample opportunity for summer barbeques and alfresco dining.
Amenities: Electric heating and woodburning stove. Electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge with ice box, washing machine, dishwasher. TV and Wi-Fi . Fuel and power inc. in rent. Bed linen and towels inc. in rent. Cot and highchair available on request. Off-road parking for 2 cars. Pets allowed. Sorry, no smoking. Shop within 3 miles. Pub within 1.5 miles
Region: Northumberland is a heady combination of fishing villages, market towns, sandy beaches, magnificent castles and historic Hadrian's Wall, tied together by beautiful countryside and abundant wildlife.
Town: 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.
