Comfortable and cosy cottage in a very attractive and peaceful location.

Comfortable and cosy cottage in a very attractive and peaceful location. There is ample parking space and an attractive and useful patio and separate garden area. The cottage has everything you need for a comfortable stay and is well heated. There are walks nearby on the Rock Estate. Rock is a good location for visits to Alnwick and several nearby coastal towns. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Lovely Stay - Exactly as described

Found the property easily and it was well equipped and clean. Thoughtful facilities and well laid out - perfect for 2 adults and maybe small infant if you brought your own travel cot. Not much to do in Rock - you have to go to Alnwick, the Coast or Rennington for nightlife but we wanted a quiet holiday. All in All very satisfactory

The cottages is very comfortable & in a lovely quiet village, it is a good location to be able to get anywhere being close to Alnwick & the lovely Northumberland beaches also easy to get to moors. We found the cottage itself very good, one thing that we didn't appreciate was a 13.5 Duvet in the summer which was far too hot. The cottage must be good as it is the second time we have been to it Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Extremely comfortable and well-equipped. Felt very safe staying there considering the circumstances. Only a short drive, or nice leisurely walk to a lot of different villages, towns, and lots of sandy beaches. Would recommend to anyone. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

We had an enjoyable stay at The Old Workshop.

We had an enjoyable stay at The Old Workshop. It was clean and comfortable. Our only tiny issues were not enough coat hooks for a wet week in October and no outside dog washing facilities (we bought a bucket and cloth). Lovely quiet village close to the fantastic Northumbrian coast.

An absolute gem.

An absolute gem. A little off the tourist trail which suited us fine - we have fallen in love with Rock - and will definitely return. We had a magical, magical week. The cottage is perfect for two [and a whippet] - it was secluded and romantic - and only minutes away from the places you want to go to. Rock itself has wonderful walks and is perfect - the cottage is well equipped, easy to manage and beautifully appointed. It really was a home from home. Thank you very much for facilitating us - we had the pleasure of meeting the owner on our departure - and a more charming man you could not wish to meet. Thank you everyone for making our week in Northumberland so memorable.

Been to Rock properties many times, but my first time here. All good but I think the owners should change the cleaners. Not as clean as I would have expected. Recommended all the same if your a dog owner...

Everything about the Old Workshop was perfect.

Everything about the Old Workshop was perfect. Ideal location, central to our favourite places, Craster and Alnwick and a short drive away from Bamburgh and Holy Island. Well appointed kitchen, a modern large TV, a large very comfortable bed, plump towels and bedding and a great shower. Beautiful gardens and ideal for a relaxing break. We’re booking again for next year. We really didn’t want to leave. Would highly recommend!

This is a beautiful cottage, the location is perfect for us on a country estate and so peaceful. Walks directly from the cottage so no need to get in the car if you don't want to. Plenty of amenities in Alnwick just a short drive away. The Northumberland coastline is breathtaking, several deserted beaches to walk along. Plenty of castles, tea rooms, coffee shops and pubs & restaurants nearby.
