Situated in the middle of nowhere, not very much to do in the actual cottages area. Swimming pool was too small, but nice. Claimed the fitness facilities were free but had to pay for a couple of things. Sauna was very nice. I found it terrible how there was no wi-fi there as I was to do some work. Overall... More

I stayed in the Manor House over the New Year 2011/2012 with a group of friends.This place certainly does not live up to its four star rateing apart for the price.This trip is an annual event (not to Akeld) and we take with us our own lady cook as we go self catering.They advertise that this house is self catering...

Just returned from a stunning half-term break in Northumberland staying at Akeld Manor. Location and countryside wonderful with lots to do for all the family. Akeld Manor itself is quiet and perfectly placed to explore the area. The cottage we stayed in was OK - the fittings and furniture were tired and old fashioned. The shower was only a dribble... More

Perfect setting with oodles of character and charm. Furnishings and equipment excellent, and fantastic leisure facilities. Fitness room with massage chairs, beautiful swimming pool with jaccuzi, well heated and good swimming length. Full size snooker table, pool table, table tennis and dvd's and video's to hire. Staff were excellent, and couldnt do enough. Perfectly situated to reach lots of attractions... More

This is a great location for exploring this beautiful area of Northumberland. Akeld Manor and Cottages practically backs up to the Cheviot Hills and are located very near the town of Wooler which is known as the gateway to the Cheviots. We booked this resort via a timeshare exchange and our overall interactions with the resort staff, which consisted primarily... More

Beautiful locality but cottage furnishings tired - chairs saggy and sofa bed very lumpy. concerned about fire danger - only one exit door - windows too narrow for escape and some nailed shut. Pool too small for swimming comfortably Restaurant closed

We were quite excited about our visit to Akeld Manor but quite disappointed with the reality. The leisure facilities were a particular disappointment - the restaiurant was closed and the pool was only available between 9am and 8pm though the website claimed that it was available from 8am to 10pm. The cottage was very pleasant and extremely clean but we... More

Stayed in one of the cottages, which was nice, unfortunately wasnt warm enough despite the heating being on full, Akeld if 4 miles from Wooler, which has very little in it. Plenty to do, if you drive a bit further out. No much to do at Akeld, the pool is cold, the sauna, is ok, no steam room, jacuzzi is... More

Stayed here for a long weekend in a 1 bed cottage. Lovey cottage, in a quiet location - great location for touring the sights of Northumberland, but a car is defiantely required. The cottage had everything we could want - it was well stocked with pots and pans etc, and had enough space for 2 people. Furnishing swere of good... More
