Lying in a peaceful position on the grounds of Akeld Manor, Tile Rouge is an arresting stone cottage perfectly suited to a couple or a group of four who seek an action-packed adventure in the breath-taking Northumberland countryside.

Continue through to the well-equipped country kitchen with striking oak cabinets and a sea of handy electrical appliances, and whip up a fabulous meal for the whole family to enjoy. Choose to freshen up with a rinse in the shower room, or wash away your worries as you soak in the bathroom right across the way.

The property needs some improvements to make it more comfortable, convenient and safe, eg handrails near steps, product shelves in bathrooms and door hooks. Minor things but all would help.

It was very cold when we got there because I think the storage heaters had not been turned on the night before. The next day everything was fine. There was no shower in the downstairs bathroom although the information on the website said that there was. The cottage was very clean and comfortable. I would stay again.

It is on the edge of the Cheviot Hills. Beautiful surroundings from the front door right into the hills, including great walks along St Oswalds Way and Yeveringbell. A 3 mile walk to the market town of Wooler or a short drive for supplies. Very well situated for exploring the coast too, being only 30 minutes drive to Banburgh Castle and Lindisfarne. The Rouge has a lovely garden to enjoy after a day of walking, along with brilliant dark Skys. Two spacious bedrooms, a shower room and large bathroom wit a great bath. Kitchen is small but well equipped. My personal preference would be a dishwasher rather than a washing machine. We would certainly use the cottages at Akeld Manor again.
