Amazed by how beautifully clean the bunkhouse was when we arrived- cleaner than many hotels! The wood stove was glorious in the wet and wind making this a cosy retreat in a fantastic remote corner of walking country. Thank you very much for a lovely stay!
As always, a lovely break.
The cottage wonderfully comfortable, well-equipped, spotless and beautifully presented. Although the weather let us down a little, the valley was superb as ever, dressed in its autumn colours. Would recommend the Market Tavern in Alnwick for food and a warm welcome.
As always, we’ll be back. Thanks to the folk of College Valley for sharing such a special place.
We have returned to Hethpool Mill after 8 years and not much has changed, how lovely!
We’ve had a great time. We saw the wild goats before Hethpool in a field of sheep, saw roe deer twice, heard owls, saw rabbits, pheasants, grouse and lots of garden birds.
We look forward to a return visit and won’t leave it so long this time. Thank-you for a lovely, comfortable house.
Our fourth time staying in the College Valley, the third at Hethpool Mill. Had another fantastic week. Loads of wildlife around the Mill, hares, wild goats, baby rabbits, and the owls kept us entertained during the night with their twit-twoo calls.
We did some brilliant walks including Great Hetha and hillfort trail, St Cuthberts Cave and the Kyloe Hills, and finally we made it to the top of Cheviot!
Looking forward to our next visit!
Awesome. Comfortable. Warm. Stunning views and walks. Me happy. Dogs happy. Will all come again soon 😊
Thank you to Ros Harris and Mr and Mrs Iveson for keeping the cottage so lovely and inviting, beautifully clean and being so helpful with a last-minute booking!
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.
What a truly stunning county where The School House is perfectly situated in the midst of the majestic ‘hills’ (felt like mountains when climbing them!). The cottage was spotless and quality within was a real joy – thank you, loved the power shower 😊.
We’ve had an amazing two weeks and look forward to returning 😊 😊
The cottage is just perfect. We have had a lovely week and wish we were staying for longer.
The valley is beautiful. Lovely views from all windows, including the washing up one! So much to see and enjoy with the cottage offering all the comforts needed at the end of the day.
Super long walks with stunning views. We look forward to coming back.
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.
Super, well -equipped accommodation. We have enjoyed a very relaxing stay here.
All lovely – thank-you.
