    “Absolutely delightful stay and can't wait to return.”

    Owner of property was always at hand to answer any queries we had and had the cottage warm and cosy for is upon our late arrival. Bottle of wine was, also a lovely touch. Cottage had everything we needed and the general information to local areas was great and led to is exploring more areas than we had intended.

The property

Wooler 2.7 miles.

Periwinkle is a welcoming single-storey cottage set in the peaceful village of Akeld, Northumberland, with off-road parking and a calm, countryside outlook—ideal for families or friends seeking time away together.

Arrive to a traditional stone exterior and step into a bright living/dining room where soft carpet, exposed beams and a generous window bring light and warmth.

Thoughtfully chosen artwork, comfortable sofas and armchairs frame the space, with a 50‑inch Smart TV and a dining table for four providing easy moments for meals and movie nights.

The kitchen is arranged for effortless cooking, with everything you need for breakfasts through to suppers, complemented by wooden fixtures that add a touch of classic character.

Two restful bedrooms—a double and a twin—offer simple, tranquil comfort, both bright and carpeted, while the bathroom features a bath and walk-in shower, heated towel rail, basin and WC, finished with pretty wallpaper for a graceful, homely feel.

Outside, settle on the furnished patio with a morning coffee or evening drink and take in the quiet.

In the broader landscape, you may glimpse Cheviot goats—reticent and rugged, sometimes moving across the slopes and, now and then, appearing near the garden—an authentic brush with Northumberland’s wildlife.

On-site, there’s scope for relaxed fun: chalk your cue and play a frame of snooker, spin the handles on table football, glide into the swimming pool for a steady swim, and gather at the rustic bar while children make the most of the play areas.

If you’re planning a celebration, Periwinkle offers wedding and event potential, with reliable contacts for caterers, florists, marquee hire and celebrants to help shape an occasion that feels personal and effortless.

Make Periwinkle your Northumberland base for easy days, gentle evenings and memories made together.
