  This could be an amazing place to stay if the owners spend a bit of money.

  There is a date stone outside the property from 1992 and there have clearly been no updates since then!!! The interior is old and fusty, and in a big bathroom, no shower! Such a shame as the cottage is based on a complex of old farm houses and barns - there used to be an indoor swimming pool and bistro and gym which are all closed up and have been for some time (so the locals say). The description on the Sykes website made it sound like it was a little cottage on its own. This could be a perfect place for a few family groups to book and go on holiday together. Our cottage had a lovely private courtyard to sit outside in the sun. Other cottages have the same and some have gardens. Based just 2 miles from Wooler it’s in a great location - all the tourist spots were half an hour away in different directions. I just hope the owners read this and realise that they are sat on a goldmine and with a bit of investment and better advertising Akeld Manor and Cottages could be wonderful!!!

  We never got to stay in bramble cottage at the last minute the owners contacted us and told us that Bramble cottage was unavailable due to maintenance issues so we were given a cottage called periwinkle.

  they told us it was an upgrade over bramble cottage this again is a lie bramble had a four poster bed periwinkle has a normal double, Bramble has a really large kitchen, Periwinkles kitchen is tiny in comparison the décor in Bramble is much nicer there are big beautiful windows at bramble and Tiny little windows at periwinkle before arrival we asked if we could have Lavender cottage as that looked nicer than Bramble but were told outright flat NO as they said it was booked even though there website said it was available the lady on the phone was really rude to my wife and said that is all we have take it or leave it end of conversation, upon arrival and the main reason for being unhappy we found another couple STAYING IN BRAMBLE the cottage we had booked and were told we could not have due to maintenance issues so they had clearly LIED there was no maintenance issue with bramble cottage they had clearly given the cottage to someone else even though we had booked it through yourselves

  The Rouge is a quirky and cosy cottage set amongst 3 other detached cottages.

  It is on the edge of the Cheviot Hills. Beautiful surroundings from the front door right into the hills, including great walks along St Oswalds Way and Yeveringbell. A 3 mile walk to the market town of Wooler or a short drive for supplies. Very well situated for exploring the coast too, being only 30 minutes drive to Banburgh Castle and Lindisfarne. The Rouge has a lovely garden to enjoy after a day of walking, along with brilliant dark Skys. Two spacious bedrooms, a shower room and large bathroom wit a great bath. Kitchen is small but well equipped. My personal preference would be a dishwasher rather than a washing machine. We would certainly use the cottages at Akeld Manor again.

  Although comfortable enough accommodation it was very dated and lacked more modern amenities.

  Particularly disappointed with rubber hose attachment on bath taps as the shower. There was no reception either on arrival or departure for hand over of keys or registration details. I had to leave registration details in the letter box for later collection. (The lady on the phone was helpful however). There were no on site facilities - cafe, bar, the pool no longer exists etc and although we were a couple there were no amenities for children. The place was clean, however, and the bed was comfortable. The place needs some updating. It was convenient for touring the area. However, I do not think it was particularly good value for money.

  The house is lovely and large, great for four adults two children and two dogs.

  Smelt lovely when we walked in and the house was very clean. The gravel garden is smaller than we originally thought, however it was ok for us as we were out all day. Area is very quiet, ideal on the edge of the village to walk into. Parking outside or car park opposite. Great sized kitchen with plenty of utensils and equipment including dishwasher, toaster, microwave etc. Nice size dining room. Beds very comfortable. Towels lovely and thick and a very good size. As a family we had a fantastic stay at Stewart House and would recommend. It is a good 30 minutes drive to the beach. However you are surrounded by beautiful walks on the doorstep
