Stop Press:

It is difficult for us to fit in a whole week over Christmas & a whole week over New Year so we have decided to offer 5, 6 , or 7 nights over Christmas or over New Year. We are flexible - please telephone to discuss the dates you would like.
For prices see www.rockhouseestate.co.uk/Availability-2010.htm
Please note when the Bank Holidays are - there are only a few days when you might be working and need to take annual leave!

In the next few years we would like to retire completely, so we have put Rock House Estate on the market as a whole as a going concern or in 5 separate lots. We will honour all bookings, so don't be afraid to book.
This is an opportunity to buy a home in the country with a bit of land - for details call us on 01434 382 684

In Nentside Barn, the kitchen has been completely refitted with new units, appliances, tiling, etc, and the lounge has a new stove & fireplace.

There are special offers to fill 'gaps' in our bookings - please have a look at the Availability/Prices webpage for details

You can order groceries for your holiday from ASDA for delivery here (Valley View, CA9 3NA). Celebration cakes can be ordered from the Moody Baker (01434 382 003) in Alston for delivery here. (Valley View, Top Road, Nenthead)

The North Pennines is a relatively unknown area, but the scenery is fantastic. The Rock House Estate is about 100 acres between Alston & Nenthead.

This is an area for outdoor activities - you can put on your walking boots and walk from the cottage! but there are also lots of places to visit. When you are out and about there are plenty of places to eat ranging from cafes & pubs to excellent restaurants.

We have 5 country cottages ranging from a cosy cottage for 2 up to a farmhouse for 14. For full details about a cottage, just click on the appropriate part of the picture below!

Writers Cottage is a cosy cottage for two with a four-poster bed double bed and a corner spa bath.

Sunrise, which is for four, has a four poster double bed & en-suite bathroom upstairs, and a twin bedroom , shower room and sauna downstairs. There is a large landing upstairs that can take a cot or a folding bed for a child. There is a lounge and kitchen/diner. Outside there is an enclosed garden (ideal for dogs!)

Ramblers Rest sleeps 5 to 7 - it has a double bedroom and a bedroom with 3 single beds. A double sofa bed in the lounge sleeps an extra 2 (there is only 1 bathroom though). Ramblers Rest has the added attraction of a sauna.

Nentside Barn sleeps 5 to 7 - like Ramblers Rest it has a double bedroom, and a bedroom with 3 single beds. A double sofa bed in the lounge sleeps an extra 2 (there is only 1 bathroom though)

Rock House Farm sleeps upto 14. It is a large house with a big lounge and a sitting room. The dining room has a large table that seats 16 & 2 high chairs. Note that there are only 4 bedrooms: a double (with a four-poster bed), and 3 Family Bedrooms each with a double bed and 2 single beds.

Nentside Barn, Ramblers Rest and Writers Cottage are close together and together can sleep up to 16. Nentside Barn has a table that can be extended to seat 16. So for large groups they are a good alternative to Rock House Farm which sleeps 14.

For really large groups, all 5 cottages can sleep up to 34! (+3 cots)

We believe in looking after the environment and have joined the Green Tourism Business Scheme. They carry out 'green' audits of businesses grading them bronze, silver, or gold. On our first audit we have achieved a Silver!
