Rock Rose

We enjoyed our stay at Rock Rose a lovely cosy little bungalow just right for the two of us and our little dog.

Everything we needed was provided and we hope to be able to come back again.

Lovely little bungalow in a quiet area close to the sea.

The bungalow has everything you need for you stay, very clean great for dogs . Plenty of eating places in village, a shop and fish&chips van.

A lovely location at a lovely seaside village ideal for senior citizens that we keep returning to.

The accommodation was to a high standard which due to the weather had us happily staying in a little more than normal. Only one little negative was the accommodation next door was not very soundproofed or the people staying there needed some new hearing aids, as you could often hear what they were listening to on their tv.

A good base for visiting local areas such as Alnwick and Bamburgh.

Great beaches for walking especially when bringing your dog. Lovely dog friendly cafes and restaurants, and if you just want coffee and cake visit the Lazy Cow. The property was exceptionally clean and tidy and had everything you needed. Yes it’s not the biggest bedroom but the bed was comfortable and the bed linen was good quality (and smelt lovely). We would definitely book again for our short stay in the area.

We knew the area but found this cosy little gem for a January winter week away.

... perfect for husbands 65th birthday week away, close to the beach and extremely clean and cosy. A credit to Alison who works very hard with keeping her property to a high standard and sorting her change overs herself. In fact, we've booked again for early March in order to enjoy more beach walks and use The Landing and The Craster Arms for liquid refreshments and food. Thanks again Alison.

We stayed in this tiny cottage on a very cold and wet few days in February, so we were relieved to find it so warm indoors.

The cottage is well maintained and appears to be very clean, but there is an extremely strong smell of dog! The kitchen is equipped with all your basic needs catered for including a generous welcome pack of milk, jam and biscuits. While the fridge freezer is tiny it was enough for us on our short three night stay. We found the bed comfortable and again the storage adequate for our needs. The lounge/dining area is a comfortable space for two people although the dining table and chairs are extremely heavy. We were unable to get more than two channels to work clearly on the TV even though the Wi-Fi worked perfectly on our iPads.

An excellent little place just minute away from the beach.

Clean, quiet and cosy with everything we needed.

Had a lovely stay.

Property is beautifully clean and well equipped. Location is great with only a short walk to golden sands and a shorter walk to the pub! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Could do with a lamp near the table to save having to put the main lights on when using the table. Everything else perfect. Would stay again.

Another lovely stay at Rock Rose so cosy , clean and well equipped with everything you need.

In a perfect location for walks. Thank you

Thoroughly enjoyed a comfortable week at Rock Rose.

Thoughtful extras appreciated. Fully aware of 'cramped' bedroom from photographs, particularly as I have mobility and balance issues. The grab rail in the shower is something all properties should have. We've booked again for next year.

Excellent accomodation in a quiet spot

Another enjoyable holiday staying at this lovely welcoming property.

We shall, of course, be returning.

Excellent location & contained everything needed for a comfortable stay

Just got home from a week away staying at Rock Rose.

Perfect location, great being close to the centre of Beadnell and 10 minutes walk from the beach. We normally stay on the estate near the beach car park but going forward we will always stay in this part of Beadnell. Accommodation was as described, some reviews complain about the lack of space in the bedroom. It clearly shows in the photos that it's tight on both sides of the bed so it wasn't a problem for us. There was everything in the bungalow that we needed, kitchen was well stocked and treats for us and our dogs were a lovely touch. Personally, I think a light near the dining table would be useful but that's the only negative thing I can think of. For the cost for a week I think it's well worth it.

Rock rose is a very comfortable little cottage, everything you could need and more.

Spotlessly clean and well maintained, with a small secure garden for our two terriers. Ideally situated to visit the awesome Northumberland coast and places of interest. Would certainly book this accommodation again. Thank you for our fantastic holiday.

Perfect!

Our second stay & as lovely as the last time. Welcome gifts amazing & very much appreciated! We stayed for 2 weeks this time & just bliss. Safe & secure for the dogs. Everything thought about & provided by the owner. We have already booked for next year!

Excellent property in an ideal location to explore the surrounding areas.

The property is in excellent condition with all the home comforts.

A beautiful and well kept place and the close proximity to the beach pub cafe and restaurant and other towns such as Alnwick Morpeth Sea houses and Bamburgh make rock rose the perfect destination.

Great and comfortable and nice and clean everything you could wish for it is home from home and the owner is brilliant to would go back again

Lovely little bungalow that was just the right size for us and the dog, very comfortable and nice that it has an outside area to sit in.

Everything you could possibly need but we were out for nearly every meal as in an ideal place for visiting the local cafes and bars and for the local shop that is well stocked. An ideal location for the beach as well just what we needed as my husband can't walk very far.

Lovely clean cottage, ideal location for everything we like to do when visiting Beadnell and surrounding area.

Unfortunately haven't given full marks for comfort, as an older couple we found the sofa far too low for getting up and down from. The table and chairs although beautiful solid wood were far too heavy for us to move easily in and out from the table. It’s a pity the owners hadn’t moved the living room wall at least a foot so that the bedroom could have been slightly bigger. We got used to walking sideways up the bed at night but once again the bed was too low for us and I’m only 5ft 3” so not a giant. We will be back to Beadnell and with Sykes but will continue our search for a perfect cottage.

We had a lovely stay at Rock Rose and found it very clean , comfortable and well equipped.

The enclosed garden was great for our dog and the location was great too. The beach was just a short walk away , with excellent walks on the doorstep. We will definitely stay there again.

Had a great stay at rock rose very peaceful and had everything g you needed

Great location, well equipped property.

Great dog friendly places to eat and drink within walking distanc.

The bungalow was absolutely spotless it had everything you required very cosy and quiet the outside area to sit was a real suntrap and we sat each afternoon on our return back till the sun went down.

The property is a real credit to the owner. The local pub The craster arms is very welcoming and does lovely food. We have booked to return later in the year. Thank you.

Very comfortable stay lovely cottage only thing missing was a dressing table.

Would definitely book again

Second visit, clean tidy property with everything you need.

Very nice cosy little place in the heart of the village.

Close to beach and local amenities (shame the little shop has closed on sea front) Owner found out we were staying due to my birthday so very kindly left birthday card and a little gift which was much appreciated All In all just a nice little bolt hole to get away for some down time just to chill out

This was our third visit to Rock Rose - a comfortable , well equipped cottage in a delightful area.

Our thanks to the property owner for the thought she has put into this cottage to make it so welcoming.

Lovely property.

Everything you need. Great base for exploring

My 6th stay at Rock Rose and it is as comfortable and clean as always.

Having had a bad experience with Sykes on a booking earlier in the year it was such a relief to return to a cottage I know in a location I love. Alison goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. Will definitely return especially as I was lucky enough to see the Northern Lights on this visit. Spectacular

The cottage was loverly very clean my only criticism is that it could do with a standard lamp it was to bright or to dark but every thing else was lovely

Sadly didn't expect a caravan sized double bedroom, difficulty for anyone to get in&out of bed!

! Should have first aid box as essential. Location is perfect for visiting the area

Very nice bungalow in very central location .

Enjoyed very much .

This is a delightful property - very clean and well equipped.

It is ideally situated for exploring the Northumbrian coast.

Fantastic little cottage, perfect for our week stay with the 2 dogs.

Lovely touches by the owner in terms of biscuits, jam, toiletries, doggie bits etc. Would definitely return. Thank you!

The cottage was very well equipped,and very clean.

The bedroom was small,but we were aware of that from photos of the property. The lighting in the main room was poor,and impossible to read at night when sitting on the sofa.I think that other guests have suggested having a standard light would help.Only one bedside light,and to read in bed we needed to use the torches provided.

Really enjoyed staying at Rock Rose.

Lots of “little” things provided, such as dog poo bags, dog treats, somewhere to hang washing outside, even kitchen tongs, which I never find in holiday lets, and good wifi. I know the area isn’t the best at wifi provision but we had no problems and were able to watch football matches via NowTV on my iPad. All in all a great property. Yes, the bedroom is a little snug and you have to watch your toes and shins when making the bed, and the sofa isn’t the comfiest, but the positive points more than make up for this couple of minor ones.

Lovely little cottage/bungalow.

Spotlessly clean, well equipped and well maintained and in an excellent location five minutes walk to the beach and the village.

Nit picking a bit but the only bedroom is tiny with a double bed one has to ‘crab’ to get around it, and the walls between adjoining properties are paper thin tv and conversation plainly audible, otherwise great location and well appointed property.

One thing I have noted is a massive increase in prices for next year

Excellent flat.

Comfortable and clean and nice touchs such as teabags and jam. Thank you

Only issue was that the lounge was a little dark and only a very small table lamp apart from the main lights was available.

Suggest that as a plug is available at the dining table end perhaps a floor standing lamp might be considered just to make it a bit cosier rather than having to switch main lights on when eating etc. Apart from that the cottage was lovely and the owner had thought of everything that you could need for a comfortable stay. Alfie, our pooch, would like to say thank you for his doggie treats. Luv'd em !!!!

Very cold when we arrived but it soon heated up.

A bit noisy from the television through the wall at the weekend. Bed comfy but wardrobe space a bit small. Also no vaping and that was not stated in listing and I would like to know why ???

Spotlessly clean and very nicely furnished cottage.

Well equipped with everything we needed. Comfy bed and sofa. The small front garden was enclosed for our dog. Short distance to lovely sandy beach. Despite storm Debi, we were nice and cosy warm. Will come back again thank you.

One of the cleanest and well Maintained properties I have rented .

Good facilities and very cosy . Modern heating system was very efficient and made it very cosy . Bed was quite uncomfortable, but that was the only concern .

Nice cottage, well equipped, very clean and peaceful.

Well located for days out

Very nice compact cottage with everything one would want plus within walking distance of all amenities.

Only suggestion is to update house book with clearer instructions on working heating and how to control towel rail in bathroom

Very clean and well equipped.

The sitting room/dining area was spacious which compensated for the rather cramped bedroom. Very well situated for the local beach, shop and variety of restaurants, plus we found the local buses ideal for getting along the coast so we didn't need our car during our stay which was parked safely in a designated parking space near the property. The front garden was an ideal sunny spot to relax in.

This was our second visit to this holiday cottage and it will not be our last.

The cottage was as clean as clean as it could be - spotless. The bed was smaller than ours at home but we slept like logs every night. I would truly recommend the cottage to our friends and relatives. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Great location but cottage bedroom was very small and bed uncomfortable.

A clean cottage perfect for exploring this area of the coastline, however what we did not expect was the property two doors down resembling a building site.

With contractors starting work at 8am every morning it made sitting outside impossible. My wife is asmatic so all the dust around was not helping, not the relaxing holiday we were looking for. We saw the owner at checkout who was aware of the building work but all she said was that she didn't think it was starting until winter. Not a good experience.

The bungalow is in a very quiet location, although it is small it was clean and a had a comfortable bed (not often you get this in a holiday cottage) there is very limited space either side of the bed which might be a problem for some guests.

It also had a large walk in shower as opposed to a bath which was convenient for me. The little extras were appreciated ie jams, biscuits, dog treats/ball and cleaning products were useful too. Great base to explore the Northumberland Coastline. Close to lovely beaches, a well stocked local shop and nice places to eat and drink in Beadnell village. Lovely relaxing stay, just what was needed. Thank you.

My second visit.

Our second year in this holiday cottage ,we had to come back to Northumberland to finish off our too do list .

Coming back to Rock Rose was a no brainer ideally situated clean and comfortable with everything we needed. The property is a credit to its owner , Thankyou

The cottage was lovely, very clean, comfortable and well equipped.

Very close to the beautiful Beadnell Bay beach, the pubs/restaurants and the (small) village shop.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Spotless, very comfortable and extremely well appointed! Thank you

Perfect property for the price to visit Northumberland

Property ideal for couple with dogs Had all facilities we needed with the bonus of good local shops cafes and bars.

Well provided in a small place!

We had a lovely stay at Rock Rose.

So convenient for the Coast and Castles bus up and down the coast, beautiful beaches nearby, and lots of birds to keep us interested. Rock Rose is well appointed and has everything you could need. The local hostelries serve excellent food and drink. Our second visit and we will be back.

clean well equipped great location the only down side is the bedroom is very tight little room to move around but a very nice place to stay

Rock Rose is a fantastic place to stay.

It has everything you need for a sea-side break, it is like a home from home. The location is great for a holiday by the sea. There are great walks minutes from the front door, they never fail to put a smile on our faces. For a stress free coastal holiday you can't go wrong with a stay at Rock Rose

Lovely cottage, did exactly what it said on the packet.

We feel refreshed and chilled after our short break by the coast. Well placed for access to the beach and local amenities and within easy reach of other must visit areas. We will be back !!

The place was well situated for all we wanted to have nearby the only downside was it was listed as off road parking as my wife has mobility problems but the parking was a little further than down the road from the property but actually was off road we assumed it was on the property not around the corner.

This is the only negative from a really lovely stay.

Have stayed in Rock Rose a number of times and I am never disappointed.

It is in a good location for walking on the beautiful Northumberland beaches and the village has a number of excellent places to eat out. Will be booking again in the future

Rock Rose was well presented and beautifully clean.

It was well equipped with everything necessary for our week's stay, including consumables, such as cleaners, that are often not provided. We had a very pleasant stay.

It was perfect, very well equipped you couldn't fault it, they thought of everything to ensure a comfortable stay and the air con was veey much appreciated given the recent heatwave!

Not far to the beach or the pub and shop, Would definitely go back

Lovely cottage and owner enjoyed our holiday in a great little village.

Very well appointed and comfortable interior, with seating outside in the garden a bonus when weather is nice. Some great local attractions only a short distance away worthy of visiting on your doorstep. Alnwick and Barter books, Howick Hall and Earl Grey tearooms. Great local eateries like Beadnell towers and Craster Arms also on the doorstep of this lovely cottage by the sea.

Location is a 5 minute walk to the beach lovely comfortable modern bungalow equipped with everything you need.

Would definitely recommend.

Pleasantly surprised at the comfort and cleanliness of the property, after a full day walking and exploring to return to the comfort and a good night sleep is perfect.

The decor of the accommodation was well thought out and very pleasing. All in all everything was perfect.

We had a brilliant holiday at Rock rose, a lovely clean and comfortable cottage with everything you need.

It’s home from home. Would definitely go back.

We had a very enjoyable stay in Rock Rose, Beadnell.

It was very clean on our arrival although there was a faint smell of dogs. The facilities were excellent and we didn't want for anything. Some people have commented on the compactness of the bedroom. Yes, it is on the small side but we are both in our mid-60s and we managed quite adequately. The shower was a bit on the slow side but again it wasn't a problem. We had plenty of hot water and the heating soon warmed the bungalow up. All in all, great accommodation in a great location. We had some lovely walks along the coast to Seahouses and Bamburgh is worth a visit too especially when the cricket is on! We can highly recommend The Craster Arms in Beadnell for a good hearty meal at a reasonable price.

Nice little bungalow, very clean and tidy with everything provided.

As mentioned in previous reviews, the bedroom is small with not much room to manoeuvre at the sides and for me, the bed was too soft, but a firmer bed is just my personal preference. Ten minute walk to Beadnell Bay or a shorter walk to the beach next to the village shop, perfect for the dogs.

Have stayed here before and have already booked again for later this year.

This cottage is the cleanest I have ever stayed in. It has everything you need for a comfortable holiday. Highly recommend

Nice and comfy cottage ideal for 2 people, close to beach and pub and 2 other eating places, plenty to visit within 45min drive .

would come back again

Fabulous holiday in Beadnell.

The holiday cottage was absolutely spotless with everything you need for your stay. Loved the little extras, treats & ball for our dog. Would definitely stay again,highly recommended A*

Just what we wanted.

A perfect base for our favourite part of the world. Do not understand some of the reviews. Heating throughout was great (we went in February). Will be back.

Heating in cottage not great and couldn't get heating to work in shower room.

Charming cottage.

Everything we needed for our long weekend. Very clean and comfortable. We will be booking again.

Great cottage, everything you need was there.

Recommended

Very clean, good location, all round a fantastic place to stay.

Already booked again for next year.

The problem was mobility.

The cottage was clean and nicely set out. The problem was the bedroom. It was small with most of the room taken by the bed. My husband struggles with his mobility and just couldn't manage in the bedroom. Also the amenities in the village were a walk away too far. It was just a struggle and we therefore decided to return home on 29 August. If you have good mobility the cottage is fine. Though extra lighting in the lounge is needed.

A fabulous holiday.

Easy to book and kept up to date all the way along. A fabulous place, clean and home from home. Very relaxing, will return.

Excellent place to stay,couldn’t ask for more,hopefully coming in October!

Beautiful cottage not a lot of space in bedroom for getting in and out of bed but everything else was great .

One of the best small cottages in a wonderful location.

Probably the cleanest place I have ever stayed. I would have booked it again immediately except I felt a little unsteady in the shower enclosure and would have appreciated a grab rail and better non slip mat. Loved my week there and would go again and take a small seat for the shower

Cosy cottage in an ideal location for exploring the beautiful Northumberland coast.

The accommodation was very well equipped with the stunning beach close by and all the facilities of Seahouses a short drive away.

Very well looked after cottage in a nice quiet area, well situated, 3/4 minute walk to the sea.

The owner of the cottage has thought of almost everything you would require, even down to matching toilet flush pull. Well stocked with all of your immediate wants. Only draw back, was the bedroom, a bit on the small (tight) side. That is my observation not a criticism.( you can't have everything).

We have stayed at Rockrose several times, it is in a great location and feels like a second home to us.

If you want to walk the Northumberland coast or visit the many villages or attractions you will not be disappointed having Rockrose as your base camp

I expected things to go well with sykes and they did.

Keep up the good work. Give us hope and nice things to look forward to at this horrible time!!

Exceptional standard of cleanliness .

fantastic location .would definitely return

Lovely cottage in a good location.

Had everything we needed, and the little extras made us feel very welcome!

A brilliant location.

The cottage was spotless and the owner had gone to great lengths to make sure you had everything you could possibly need.,even for dogs .would definitely recommend.

this was the best cottage for cleanliness as well as modern.

secure front garden for the dogs . suntrap almost all day. will be rebooking

Change the shower head.

The location and facilities are fab. Easy reach to all attraction places in the area. Nice pubs and restaurant in village. Great off road parking. Thoroughly enjoyable experience for me wife and dogs. Best area in the uk for dog friendly stuff. That’s why I travel to the area 4 or 5 times each year. Stunning seaside and coastline. Cottage spotless. Would recommend to anyone

A very warm welcome,a smashing little cottage,dogs and us love it!

,already booked for next year,excellent!.

the bungalow was nice and modern, extremely clean and everything we needed was there and more.

The television was great and the bungalow was warm. The big disappointment was the bedroom where it was difficult to get into bed, the bed was low and not very comfortable. For two people in there seventies this was not ideal! The pillows were awful and really needed to be replaced.

Rock Rose is a great place to stay, it has everything you need for a great holiday on the Northumberland coast.

Beadnell is a lovely little village to explore and the beaches are fantastic. We celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary during our stay and couldn't think of a better place to have celebrated it. We have stayed at Rock Rose several times and cannot wait to return in the future.

This is our second visit to Rock Rose and it is perfection - such a comfortable, homely cottage full of thoughtful little touches, with really thoughtful contact from the owner.

It's a really good base to explore the stunning Northumberland coast from. Highly recommended cottage, and a great experience booking through Sykes.

Just returned from another lovely holiday at this clean cosy cottage, our 5th stay.

Rufus our dog loves it here. Ideal location for visiting surrounding area, not far from the beach, shop and pubs. Craster Arms has a great beer garden & good food. We'll be back again later in the year.

Wonderful little cottage,clean and quiet,just a few minutes walk from the beach,dogs loved it!

,so impressed that we have booked to return in November.

Rock Rose cottage was a lovely, small, cosy, well equipped place, minutes away from the most beautiful beach.

There is a shop, pub, and restaurant, just a few minutes walk away. We were holidaying without a car, so the proximity of bus stops and regular reliable buses was essential. Even the weather was kind to us. We had a fabulous fortnight and hope to be back at some point. The only minor criticism would be the size of the bedroom. It is hard to get in and out of bed because the space between bed and wall is tight. I’m not particularly big, but it was quite a squeeze.

Great Cosy Bungalow And Every Thing We Needed And Close To Beaches Etc,,,Thanks

A lovely well-equipped cottage in a really nice area.

The accommodation is ideal for a couple and a dog. The bedroom is on the small side and the bed is a bit firm, but bed firmness is subjective. Overall the cottage is ideally placed for visiting the Northumberland coast and all its beauty.

Great situation for exploring beaches and castles.

small accommodation but thoughtfully equipped.

The Sykes agent helped us by finding us accommodation that we could take our 3 dogs to, this was extremely useful as we had been struggling to find anywhere.

The cottage was very good and just right for our needs, our only criticism would be that the bedroom is tiny and bed not very comfortable, the room feels claustrophobic, however the place was just right for a week away with our dogs. Thankyou!

This was an amazing place to stay .

The pictures really don’t do the cottage justice ! Warm , cosy , quiet , clean , comfortable and well equipped . Perfectly placed as minutes to the beach and the little shop . We can not recommend this holiday home enough it truly is one of the best accommodations we have stayed in

This is a small cosy cottage in an excellent location in the centre of the village.

Easy walking distance of beaches, pub and very well stocked village shop. Highly recommend and hope to be back.

Bed to low and not at all comfortable.

Had many sleepless nights. Shower was not up to much as water was slow in it's delivery. Took longer to have a shower.

Brilliant little cottage with a great location

I’ve been visiting Beadnell now for over 5yrs and this cottage was by far the nicest I’ve stopped in.

It was very clean and comfortable and above all very cosy. Have booked again for next year.

Lovely cottage, well equipped

The only complaint I would have is the bed is quite firm but is obviously a personal taste.

Rock Rose is a clean and well equipped 1 bedroomed holiday let, in an excellent position close to village shop, village pub and café, and yet only a few minutes walk to the coastline and a long expanse of sand.

Ideally base for exploring Northumberland's many beaches and walks. Dog-friendly with a dedicated off the road parking space.

Everything about the booking process was easy, and the cottage exceeded our expectations.

The owner had left a puzzle book for my son, which was such a lovely touch, the decor was superb, the kitchen well equipped, the shower was good... Great DVD selection. Everything about the cottage delighted us. And Beadnell Bay is just glorious. I’d highly recommend Sykes, Rock Rose and Beadnell to anyone.

This was our 5th stay at rockrose and it never fail to put a smile on my face when I stay there.

It is well equipped, clean and well presented, I ticks all the boxes for a fantastic home from home holiday. The local beaches are the best in the country, if you like walking you wont be disappointed

The cottage was fantastic.

5 min walk you where on the beach at Beadnell.Great for a week away and dog friendly.Will book with Sykes again.

Everything necessary within walking distance including the access to the coast road.

The cottage was in excellent condition and approximately 5 mins from the beach.

We had a really fabulous holiday. Charlie the dog enjoyed going in the sea. He didn’t want to come out of the water. We have booked again for the same time next year.

My husband is an army veteran with PTSD.

First holiday in six years he loved the cottage and the beach and so did our dog. Loved it so much we've re booked. Cottage had everything needed and more.

Rock Rose is a fantastic base for a coastal holiday, it has everything you need for a relaxing holiday, if you like beach walking you will not be disappointed.

This was our 4th stay there and we are booked again for July

The sofa was a little uncomfortable.

An armchair would be nice. Over all an excellent Holliday.

Second stay @ Rock Rose.

Great bungalow, very clean & in a good location not far from beach & local pub. Ideal for our dog with enclosed garden. Will be back again next year.

Great base for a wonderful part of the country.

Perfect for two. Lovely and clean and well equipped.

It was fully furnished clean and comfortable I had a lovely chilled time thank you

Beadnell is a fantastic base to explore the Northumberland coast.

The bedroom in the property is very tight. Difficult to get in and out of bed. Only a few inches each side of the bed.

Brilliant place to stay in a brilliant location (beadnell)

We had a wonderful weeks holiday and were greatly impressed by the area- it fullfilled our every need and would and do recommend the area for a holiday.

Our dogs thought it was fabulous too

I think you should make it clear in your summary that although it states that there is of road parking for one car this is not actually at the property but further down the road.

Some people prefer to have their vehicle in sight for security.

Well equiped, however, the bedroom is very compact with limited storage space.
