Wooler 2.7 miles.

Freesia Cottage is a charming escape in the picturesque village of Akeld, Northumberland, offering off-road parking and sweeping countryside views for families or friends seeking a peaceful retreat.

Arrive to a traditional stone exterior and step through a tiled hallway into a ground-floor double bedroom with its own en-suite bathroom, complete with bath, shower over, heated towel rail, basin and WC.

A bright twin room and a second bathroom provide comfort and convenience for all guests.

Upstairs, discover the heart of the home: a well-equipped kitchen with tiled floors, wooden fixtures and a Velux window that floods the space with light, perfect for preparing everything from hearty breakfasts to indulgent dinners.

The adjoining living/dining room combines character and comfort, with soft carpet, exposed beams, a sloping ceiling and another Velux window creating an airy feel.

Artwork adds charm, while a sofa and armchairs invite you to relax in front of the 50-inch Smart TV, and the dining table offers a welcoming spot for shared meals.

Outside, enjoy the furnished patio with a coffee or evening drink and take in the tranquillity.

In the surrounding hills, you may glimpse Cheviot goats, elusive and graceful as they graze the slopes and occasionally wander near the garden, adding a touch of wild beauty to your stay.

On-site, there’s plenty to enjoy: play snooker, test your skills at table football, cool off in the swimming pool and share drinks at the rustic bar while children explore the play areas.

If you’re planning a celebration, Freesia Cottage offers excellent wedding and event potential with trusted contacts for caterers, florists, marquee hire and celebrants to make your occasion truly special.

Make Freesia Cottage your base for a Northumberland escape filled with comfort, character and unforgettable experiences.
