  • "The cottage/bothy, set in the grounds of Cheviot Manor, was much bigger than we expected and was spotlessly clean."

    The bothy had everything we needed and the communal facilities were an added bonus. The indoor pool was lovely and very clean - and the games room had snooker and pool tables, table tennis and table football, which kept my teenage daughter entertained in the evenings. We stayed at three other properties during our road trip to the north, but the Cheviot Manor cottages were by far the best. Our only regret is that we didn't get to stay longer. Next time.

  • "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!!!

    Dear Cara Just an update. We’ve been working hard at Akeld and investing substantially. Showers installed now in most properties, regular glowing reports on cleanliness, swimming pool, sauna and bar now open, and still surrounded by possibly the most beautiful countryside in the country! (In our opinion). Hope to see you again soon Kind regards The Team Property Owner

The property

Wooler 2.7 miles.

Fern Cottage, a delightful two-bedroom cottage resting in the village of Akeld, Northumberland.

Perfect for a family holiday exploring this scenic area, boasting shared facilities such as a swimming pool and allows pets.

Boasting a traditional stone exterior, exposed stone walls and character features, this dwelling is sure to be a magnificent base for your adventures.

Before stepping inside, admire the timeless stonework that reflects the cottage’s heritage.

Stepping into the property, the Chinese-slated porch invites you to kick off your shoes before continuing through a tiled hallway with an exposed stone wall that sets a rustic tone for your stay and retiring to the sitting room to watch the TV.

The sitting room is home to a beautiful beam overhead, artwork adorning the walls, and a mix of leather sofa and armchairs that create a warm, inviting space to relax after a day of exploring.

From here you will find a farmhouse-style kitchen fit with all the self-catering requirements you need throughout your stay, enhanced by handsome wooden fixtures that add a traditional charm, and a handy washing machine to refresh your clothes.

Guests will benefit from two bedrooms and a bathroom; the first bedroom is a plush double complete with ample storage for you to unpack your belongings, with soft carpet underfoot for added comfort, while the second is a bunk room ideal for the younger members of the group to get some rest before another fun-filled day out.

The bathroom has a classic décor and is fit with a basin, WC and a bath for you to soak your muscles after a day of discovering your surroundings.

Completing this quirky cottage is a courtyard area with seating for the balmy summer evenings.

Beyond the cottage, a host of exceptional facilities awaits: challenge friends to a game of snooker or table football, take a refreshing dip in the swimming pool, or enjoy a drink at the rustic bar as laughter fills the air.

Families will love the dedicated play areas, while those planning a special occasion will find wedding and event potential here, supported by trusted local contacts for caterers, florists, marquees, celebrants and more – everything you need to create an unforgettable celebration.

And for a truly magical moment, keep an eye out for the elusive Cheviot goats roaming the hills and, if you’re lucky, wandering into the gardens – a rare and enchanting sight that makes Fern Cottage even more special.

Make Fern Cottage your base for a fantastic family holiday to Northumberland, where heritage meets comfort and every detail invites you to relax and enjoy.
