The Smithy is a romantic retreat nestled at the foothills of The Cheviot Hills in Akeld, Northumberland.

Perfect for a couple looking to explore the area or enjoy a peaceful break, this dwelling offers original character features and a tranquil stream running alongside the property.

As you arrive, the traditional stone exterior and rustic charm set the tone for an unforgettable stay.

Step through the tiled hallway into the heart of the home, where warmth and character await.

Stepping into the abode, the living/dining room invites you to snuggle up on the sofas after discovering your surroundings; this carpeted space boasts an exposed stone and rustic brick wall, a decorative inglenook with a feature fireplace, and an original iron bellow.

Tasteful artwork adorns the walls, complementing the sofa and two inviting armchairs, creating a perfect spot to relax.

The room also contains a sofa bed and a dining table where you can enjoy your meals.

Moving through the property, the kitchen provides all the cooking necessities for your self-catering requirements within a charming setting of tiled flooring and wooden fixtures, as well as a handy washing machine to freshen up your clothes between activities.

Guests will also benefit from a bathroom with a shower over, basin and WC, as well as a bath for you to relax, unwind and prepare for the day ahead.

Outside, you will find a courtyard with a delightful stream running alongside to breathe an air of serenity into your stay, as well as having access to a shared courtyard with furniture.

Beyond the cottage, Akeld Manor offers exceptional facilities to elevate your experience—from lively games at the snooker and football tables to a shimmering swimming pool for unwinding in style.

Families will love the dedicated play areas, while those dreaming of a celebration will find wedding and event potential aplenty, supported by trusted contacts for caterers, florists, marquees, celebrants and more.

Keep your eyes peeled 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.

Enjoyed our week at the Old Smithy.

The place was comfortable, quietly situated and well appointed, with plenty of living space. A couple of very minor things - both the front door handle and bathroom door handle were on the stiff side and not easy to open and close.

It was well appointed, with a bottle of wine and hand written welcome card, though we would rather have had a spare toilet roll.

We weren’t aware that there was only one provided. But we did get a replacement when we asked. It was very windy when we stayed, the door was rather noisy, rattling in the frame, I had to prop something against it to stop noise. Could do with draft excluder. The Smithy is very private, we enjoyed our stay

Facilities were great, enjoyed the sauna. Good parking away from the main road
