"We had a wonderful stay at Akeld Cottage, our first visit but certainly will return when possible."
The cottage is warm and welcoming, very homely and comfortable. More like staying in a home than a holiday let. Rooms are very well equipped, and many thoughtful touches added by the owners to make for an enjoyable and comfortable stay. Any small problem was dealt with immediately by the very friendly and helpful owners. The only slight discomfort we experienced was the hardness of the two double mattresses, but many people prefer firm beds, so that’s just an observation, not a complaint. The setting is gorgeous with stunning countryside all around, views from the windows and gardens are inspirational, especially as I’m an artist. Staying there in autumn was perfect for me with all the beautiful colours of nature, the wildlife and many varieties of birds around the cottage and the whole area. Would return to this cottage without question. Can’t recommend highly enough.

"The cottage is very comfortable."
Both bathrooms clean and modern. The only thing I couldn't find was an airing horse for indoors drying of clothes. That's all though, everything else was provided. And the owner was very accommodating of our request to leave a little later on last day.

"This the third time we've stayed at this property and we love it."
The improvements made with the woodburner, the larger fridge and the extra shower room were much appreciated. The freezer could definitely do with defrosting and supplying a washing up bowl big enough to take the dinner plates (because they definitely don't fit in the tiny dishwasher) would be very welcome! We'll be back!
Hallo Thank you for your feed back A new freezer and washing up bowl is sorted
I went to check again about the plates going in the dishwasher They do go in but not like a normal dishwasher They fit in upside down I am sorry that that is not very clear I shall put a photo in the kitchen Glad you enjoyed your stay Property Owner

"Nice cottage in a very quiet location (just what we needed)."
Cottage very nicely located to things that we wanted to see and do in the area. Garden and views really nice. The only little thing that we would say and it is possibly being a little picky that some of the pots and pans had seen better days, but there was a wide selection in the cupboards. Certainly good value and a nice little welcome pack for us when we arrived.
We would certainly go back and stay there again, possibly different time of year to see other places in that area.

"Location amazing."
The view from the garden is mesmerising. The only negative is the decor is a little "grandma friendly", but that doesn't mean it wasnt comfortable, just not our taste.

"Really enjoyed staying in this cottage."
Very comfortable, great views from the house and quiet. Our dog loved the garden. Good location for hill walking - there's a nice walking loop behind the house that is good for an evening stroll. The lanes are good for cycling too - so quiet and not too hilly most of the time, but if you go up Wooler Common or take Sustrans route 68 out of Wooler you're in for some serious hill climbing.

"Excellent location and all rooms well equipped and comfortable."
Walking directly from the door onto the Cheviot hills is an outstanding feature of this cottage, and yet easy 30 min drive to the coast too. Had great complimentary horse ride at the owners riding centre. Great welcome pack. Local Italian restaurant "Milan" in Wooler is excellent and very popular so booking advised.

"This cottage has beautiful views and great garden."
The rooms and beds are comfortable and the owner's welcome pack was appreciated. If 6 people are staying here then 1 toilet in the bathroom
can be tricky and the kitchen is on the small side. It would also be nice to have more local information available with maybe a few games and books for the children. Considering the weather was
cold we were always warm and cosy, so thank you for a welcome break in this beautiful part of the North.

"Very helpful owner who sorted a minor issue with hot water."
Free horse ride was great.
Cottage had good garden and lovely views but at the front where the entrance and car space was is influenced by other cottage owners. Thus, as the snow melted various large broken plastic plant pots marking lawn plots were unattractive and made driving in and out of a parking place an issue as it meant avoiding these unattractive 'scrap yard' pots. Maybe without the snow they look less of a mess. Ariel view would show the picture as does looking down from the hills.
