    “This is a great place to stay -- we are repeat visitors.”

    All is well maintained and to a high standard. The Bothys are very cosy. Lyanne has been very helpful. The area is really interesting for walks (St Cuthbert's Way runs through nearby Wooler) and battlefields (Flodden and Humbleton Hill -- as in Henry IV Part I -- are very close).

The property

Wooler 2.7 miles.

The Columbine is a charming single-storey cottage tucked away in the foothills of the Cheviot Hills, in the peaceful village of Akeld.

Perfect for families and friends of all ages, this inviting retreat offers flexible sleeping arrangements and a private patio with outdoor furniture, making it an ideal base for exploring Northumberland’s stunning landscapes. From the moment you arrive, the cottage’s handsome stone exterior sets the scene for a stay full of character.

Step inside through the pretty front door and into a tiled hallway that leads to the heart of the home.

The living/dining room is a welcoming space where you can kick off your shoes and relax.

Soft carpet underfoot, exposed beams above, and a large window that floods the room with natural light create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Tasteful artwork adds charm, while two comfortable sofas and an armchair provide the perfect spot to unwind after a day of adventure.

Share stories over a delicious meal at the dining table, and for added flexibility, a discreet single bed is tucked away in this space.

The kitchen is well-equipped for preparing hearty meals, with an electric oven and hob, microwave, and washing machine.

Rustic wooden fixtures bring a touch of traditional charm to this practical space.

Continuing through the cottage, you’ll find three restful bedrooms: a bright master double, a twin room, and a single room, all carpeted for comfort and complete with ample storage.

A light and airy shower room serves the rest of the group, featuring a walk-in shower, basin, and WC.

Step outside to enjoy a glass of wine or a cup of tea on the patio, before wandering into the shared courtyard with additional seating.

Beyond, the surrounding hills are alive with wildlife—keep watch for the Cheviot goats, shy yet captivating creatures that graze the slopes and occasionally venture close to The Columbine’s gardens, offering a rare glimpse of Northumberland’s untamed beauty.

The Columbine is more than a place to stay—it’s a destination for unforgettable experiences.

Challenge friends to a game of snooker or table football, then take a refreshing dip in the swimming pool to soothe tired muscles.

As evening falls, gather at the rustic bar for drinks and laughter while little ones enjoy the play areas.
