Absolutely stunning cottage! No expense has been spared on the furniture and fittings and it was spotlessly clean throughout. We couldn’t have been more comfortable and the cottage is very well situated to explore Amble and the surrounding area. This is without question the best self catering accommodation we have ever stayed in!

Excellent cottage, well equipped and very spacious. Location was ideal, off road parking a real bonus, slightly tight but easy enough to manoeuvre the car. It did everything we expected and more, easy access to shops and amenities. Amble is a nice little town and has excellent amenities for its size. Really friendly place just planning when we can visit next.

We could not be happier. The house is stunning, so light, comfortable and well equipped. Dealing with Margaret was easy and helpful. Amble is a lovely town, great beaches, and great places to eat, with special mention to Rossini across the road, which has provided plentiful, high quality food with great service, in keeping with our experience at Rok House. I genuinely could not find fault with our stay, or it’s location. We will be back and it will be soon.

Absolutely beautiful house. Lovely open plan kitchen/family room which was so nice didnt even use the lounge. Everything cooking utensils you would ever need and everywhere was spotless. Beds were very comfy and showers excellent. Would love to return in summer and open up those fantastic kitchen bi folding doors. Some people have mentioned parking troublesome?, but we had a transit campervan and managed perfectly fine. Shops and harbour on doorstep . Great few days away will definitely make it a longer stay next time.

ROK house has been internally constructed to an excellent standard. Each room has its own underfloor heating system, individually controlled. The downstairs wet room is excellent (although the toilet is a little high!), and the open plan kitchen, dining and lounge area great too. The wooden floor is ideal for those with dogs. The downside to this area is that the supplied vacuum cleaner is a bit feeble if you've been to the beach, but the owner accepted this, so it wasn't a big deal. The upstairs bathroom is also excellent. We used the back bedroom with a super king size which provided a good night's sleep. There are 2 other bedrooms that we did not use. There is a road (not major) at the front be we never heard any road noise. There is a small patio area to the rear, but no garden, which was a shame for the dogs. There was private parking to the rear, which, as others have mentioned, could be awkward for those with large cars - I have a medium hatchback and managed. Close by was the Welwood arms, very dog-friendly which served good food. Nearby is a high street with a good variety of shops, including a Co-op. It's about a mile to the front, but due to the layout of Amble (it's a small port with an estuary to the North), it's a bit of a trek to the beach.

The cottage was beautifully clean on arrival and we were met by the owner who was very pleasant. It is perhaps the most well equipped cottage that we have stayed in. The only draw back is the parking which is very difficult and tight around the back on the cottage down a very narrow lane as the front is on double yellow lines, such a shame. The beds were comfy and the whole place is very spacious, light and airy. To sum up a beautiful cottage only spoilt by the parking.

My husband, 2 teenage boys, dog and I enjoyed a 2 week stay and we all could’ve stayed longer!! Rok house is fabulous, spotlessly clean, modern, airy & well equipped. Enclosed patio was great for our small dog and is a sun trap! Margaret & Paul were very welcoming, we appreciated the chilled Prosecco waiting for us and clean bedding/towels half way through our stay. Great location to explore the North East coast and Amble is a lovely bustling town with great views, walks, shops, cafe’s restaurants, take away’s & pubs. Very dog & teenager friendly, we look forward to return!

An excellent newly restored house which has been thoughtfully done to a high standard. Excellent bed linen and thick, fluffy towels. Very comfortable with all mod cons. Very high tec. The only downside is the parking. There may be parking after 5pm on the main road. The access to the parking area is down a small alley with a tight turn onto the block paved back of the house. This is not a patio/garden as described. With the ingenious fence/gate in place there is parking for one car and a secure area for sitting and barbecuing.

Very spacious, comfortable, clean and well equipped house in an ideal location to explore Amble and Northumberland. The owners really have thought of everything with dog towel & bowls, stair gates, toys and games, a movable fence/gate to secure or open up the rear garden and many more things on top of everything that you would normally expect to find in a holiday home. And with bus stops to travel to the north and south right outside the front door, Amble's main shopping street around the corner and a field for walking dogs less than 5 minutes walk away it really couldn't be in a better position. Couldn't fault it and would definitely recommend.

Private parking is not the easiest to get in to with a larger car but there is plenty of street parking. The quality of the house however far outweighs the less than ideal parking.

Easily a 10/10 rating from four friends with two kids and a middle aged Lab. ROK House has been fully refurbished to a very high standard with plenty of thought and no expense spared it seems. Despite this we found the price extremely competitive. The location was perfect with shops literally a stones throw away and harbour probably a 10 min walk which was easily achievable for a 3 year old. Thoroughly enjoyed our relaxing time here over new year and will definitely be back in the future. Would recommend if your browsing reviews that you book ROK House without further thought as I honestly don’t think you’ll be disappointed!

Roc House was very well equipped which was great as it made cooking Christmas lunch easier than I thought it might be. It was a real home fro home for the family. The property had a great heating system which made the place really cosy. The separate lounge was great to escape from each other. Only one negative and that was the parking. Space was fine but neighbors cars parked along the road made getting our 4. X. 4 out difficult but everyone doesn’t have a big car. The situation so close to Queen Street made us walk everywhere locally. Good walking fir the dogs too and Harry next door was delightful.

It would be fair to say the owners have put a huge effort into this cottage. Beautiful inside, great location, lovely dog walks nearby. Met by very pleasant helpful owner. Beautifully clean cottage, wonderful to relax in after a day out. Missed having a garden as we have a nervous dog, but to be fair to the description it clearly states patio, not a huge deal as there is a back pathway to take dogs for a convenience stop. Used this as a base to visit family would absolutely return again. Well done to the owners for a fantastic cottage. Also Co-op across the road, very convenient.

This purpose refurbished holiday home is in fact, the very best in which we have stayed (internationally!) The home has been thoughtfully renovated to the highest standard and is one of the few which rates at the highest level of satisfaction. Do not be put off by the fact that this house sits in amidst a terrace, it is quiet and comfortable to a 5 star standard. The owners deserve high praise for the level of luxury, cleanliness and facilities. A very creditable 10/10.

The nearby beaches Warkworth & Druridge Bay were great for walks with the dog. there was off road parking round the back of the house and the enclosed patio area was good and safe for the dogs too. the bed was very comfy. Loved the overhead shower. The two huge TV's with Bt hub was great too and plenty of sofa in both rooms to relax on. Kitchen was very nicely refurbished too. very high end. Had a great time would love to return again some time. Margaret made us very welcome & was very friendly & the free welcome package of Prosseco went down very well. Thank you again xx

Brilliant house with everything you would need. The house is very modern and the kitchen area and wet room were brilliant. Lovely Beautiful beaches to explore - all very close. Amble town has everything you would need from a small town. We were just disappointed that the enclosed garden hadn't been finished and this was essential for us with a very young family and a dog. We only booked the house as it stated their was an enclosed garden - I believe this work has been completed now.
