  • "Great spot to stay, Has all you need for your stay."

    Very clean and tidy, good comfortable beds.

  • "Unfortunately had problem with heating too hot made for a very uncomfortable stay."

    The shower over bath was just a push on tap affair with no where to hook it up. The furniture abit tired to be honest. The kitchen very dated but well-equipped. Staff very friendly and property was spotless

  • "The quality of the accommodation and the surroundings were outstanding, and the provision of equipment etc was fine."

    I have one important reservation / suggestion. I am slightly disabled due to major cancer surgery on my ribs and back. As such it would have been great to have a proper overhead shower or separate shower unit. (My one attempt to us bath was almost a disaster. Thanks.

  • "Although comfortable enough accommodation it was very dated and lacked more modern amenities."

    Particularly disappointed with rubber hose attachment on bath taps as the shower. There was no reception either on arrival or departure for hand over of keys or registration details. I had to leave registration details in the letter box for later collection. (The lady on the phone was helpful however). There were no on site facilities - cafe, bar, the pool no longer exists etc and although we were a couple there were no amenities for children. The place was clean, however, and the bed was comfortable. The place needs some updating. It was convenient for touring the area. However, I do not think it was particularly good value for money.

The property

Wooler 2.7 miles.

Foxglove Covet, a charming single-storey stone cottage, is situated in the Akeld Manor House grounds in the village of Akeld, Northumberland.

Boasting off-road parking and views of the Cheviot Hills, this property is ideal for a small family to explore this scenic area.

Stepping into the property, kick off your shoes in the hallway before getting acquainted in the sitting room, where a rustic stone wall and thoughtfully placed artwork create a warm, characterful backdrop as you relax in front of the TV with your loved ones after a long day of discovering your surroundings.

From here, the kitchen/diner provides the necessities for your self-catering requirements, featuring wooden fixtures and a circular wooden dining table that invites you to prepare some scrumptious meals before sitting down to catch up on the day's events.

In the evening, retire to one of two bedrooms; both rooms are bright, neat and carpeted, with the first hosting a plush double and the second a twin.

Each offers plenty of storage for your belongings and wonderful views out over the Cheviot Hills for you to wake up to.

Completing the interior is a bathroom, home to a bath and hand-held shower, perfect for a relaxing soak as you indulge in a good book.

Step beyond the cottage and immerse yourself in the exceptional facilities that make Akeld Manor truly memorable.

Challenge friends to a game at the snooker or football table, take a refreshing dip in the swimming pool, or unwind with a drink at the rustic bar as the evening draws in.

Children will delight in the dedicated play areas, while those planning a celebration will find endless possibilities for weddings or events, supported by trusted contacts for caterers, florists, marquee hire, celebrants and more, everything you need to create an unforgettable occasion.

And for a touch of wild magic, keep an eye out for the Cheviot goats.

These shy yet enchanting creatures roam the hills and sometimes wander into the gardens, offering a rare and captivating glimpse of Northumberland’s untamed beauty.

Enjoy a wonderful stay in Northumberland at Foxglove Covet.
