Alternative cottages for the College Valley.
If the holiday house which you would like to book is unavailable then please check out the other cottages in the Valley.
There are 4 in total
Dunsdale. A large house which can sleep 8 people. It is also arguably the highest house in Northumberland. Just below Bizzle crags it offers superb views.
Coldburn cottage. A little further down the valley from Dunsdale. Coldburn is an old style farm house with enclosed garden and long views up the valley.
The Old School house. The latest addition to the valley cottages, the School house offers good accommodation next to Southernknowe.
Hethpool Mill. At the entrance to the valley and close to St Cuthberts Way. The Mill is a lovely open plan conversion.
If the four cottages in the College Valley are booked then we can offer these additional choices
Closer to Wooler and with quick access onto the A687 but limited walks from your front door.
West Newton Estate cottages
Estate cottage and Gardeners cottage both in WestNewton so you literally at the entrance to the College Valley. Dogs are allowed and these two cottages make a great base for exploring North Northumberland.

Marmion cottage at Norham with its castle and the river tweed flowing by.
