Guest reviews
This was perfect for us all (13 months old to 70+ years). Wonderfully equipped especially so for colling Sunday lunch for 15!!
Our second visit to College Valley – we love it here! Dunsdale is perfect – location, facilities etc. Walking is splendid. See you in 2023
Wonderful to be back again in this little piece of paradise! A beautifully warm, cosy house with spectacular views – we’ll be back again…and again…and
Love the luxury. Spotlessly clean, well equipped, beautiful views. Even a sledge! So excited! Will return!
Well you have set the standard. This cottage is excellent, comfort considered throughout. Beds/linen outstanding. Beautiful, quiet location. Fantastic
Beautiful house. Beds really comfy and so tasteful throughout. Loved it. Beautiful views. Could move in.
Our second visit to Dunsdale and just as wonderful as the first. A beautiful setting and lovely to be able to walk straight from the house. Mostly sunny, so lucky. Good walks in Harthope Valley, Wooler Common and Doddington Moor. Many thanks to Ros and we’ll be back in 2023!
Beautiful, cosy, well equipped cottage. Scenery is spectacular even in poor weather.
Came for our nieces wedding 5/10/19 and don’t want to leave.
Another lovely visit to the ‘College Valley’. It really is such a special place and well managed.
Good walking, weather and managed to reach the summit of ‘The Cheviot’ with our two dogs. 24km no problem to them! They still had the energy to run about afterwards!
Lovely to see the House Martins, Mistle Thrush and Wheateaters.
Getting here
Traveling by Car:
From the South:
Leave the A1 for the A697 north of Morpeth, signed for Coldstream. Stay on the road until a couple of miles north of Wooler; at Akeld buildings there is a left turn signposted to Kirknewton and Yetholm. Turn left and follow the road for three miles. Go through Kirknewton and over the little bridge, just after the bridge there are some cottages on the left. At the end of the cottages turn left, signposted to Hethpool.
From the North:
Take the A697 south from the A68. Cross the bridge into England at Coldstream and through Cornhill and Crookham. South of Crookham take the second right – soon after the left to Ford Castle – Go past Flodden and over a cross roads, pass several buildings on your left and at the bottom of a hill where the road swings round to the right turn left, which is actually going straight on. Cross the river and when you come to a T-junction turn left. Follow the road past Kilham until you come to a row of cottages on the right, immediately before the cottages turn right signposted Hethpool.
By Rail:
The Valley is not easily accessed by public transport, however the East Coast mainline stations of Alnmouth and Berwick are within easy travelling distance. Regular bus services are available to Wooler from each station, and, if willing to continue, a bus can be caught to Kirknewton. From there you would have roughly an hours walk to the Valley.
