    “Lovely, quiet location, easy to reach Borders as well as Northumberland attractions.”

    Quality bed linen and towels. Tasteful decor and classic furniture. Would definitely recommend this property. Good bottle of wine to welcome us. Useful information in their folder. PS (Not to included in published ) Vanity unit needs upgrading and maybe creating more space in front of the WC.

The property

Wooler 2.7 miles.

Ivy Cottage, a beautiful stone retreat tucked away within the peaceful grounds of Akeld Manor near Wooler.

Framed by the awe-inspiring scenery of Northumberland National Park and just a short, pleasant drive from the coast, this charming holiday haven provides an idyllic setting for families or groups seeking a memorable escape.

As you arrive, the cottage’s traditional stone façade rises proudly against the rolling hills, offering a glimpse of the warmth and character inside.

Step through the door, hang your coats, and slip off your shoes before settling into the inviting living and dining space—a carpeted sanctuary adorned with tasteful artwork, featuring a plush red sofa and two welcoming armchairs, perfect for unwinding after a day of adventure.

Create culinary delights together in the country-style kitchen, where tiled floors and rustic wooden fittings add authentic charm, then gather around the dining table to savour your feast with a fine bottle of wine.

Indulge in a soothing soak in the spacious bathtub or refresh under the sleek walk-in shower, before wrapping yourself in a warm towel from the heated rail and retreating to your chosen bedroom.

Both rooms are carpeted for comfort—the double offering ample storage, while the twin provides a cheerful space for little ones.

Beyond the cottage, Akeld Manor boasts an array of facilities to enrich your stay: enjoy lively games at the snooker and football tables, take a dip in the sparkling swimming pool, or relax with a drink at the rustic bar.

Children will adore the play areas, and those planning a celebration will discover endless possibilities for weddings or events, supported by trusted contacts for caterers, florists, marquees, celebrants and more.

Step outside to savour your surroundings with a steaming cup of coffee in the communal courtyard, exchanging friendly words with neighbours before embarking on another day of exploration.

Keep watch for the elusive Cheviot goats—gentle, captivating creatures that roam the wild hills and, on rare and magical occasions, wander into the gardens, adding an unforgettable touch to your countryside escape.

Adventure awaits at Ivy Cottage.
