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.

The cottage was very pleasant and extremely clean but we... More

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

Wonderful cottages which can be booked either on a timeshare basis or through English country cottage websites or brochures. They were old farm buildings which have recently been redocorated to a very high standard. Ours had two bedrooms, large lounge, kitchen and bathroom. Leisure facilites had a very clean pool of good length (used it every morning) sauna and a... More
