If you’re in search of a peaceful place for a break away with your family, look no further than this dog-friendly holiday home within the beautiful Northumberland National Park. The sights in the surrounding area of the Cheviot Hills are fantastic at all times of day, with the Dark Sky Reserve coming into its own after nightfall for a show-stopping stargazing experience. Threestone Burn Wood and Hedgehope Hill are a couple of the enchanting beauty spots dotted around the area, both within 12 miles. The property itself will feel like home from the moment you step inside, with neutral styling and thoughtful touches throughout, as well as a picturesque patio garden for dining alfresco.

Inviting guests in to take the weight off their feet is the cosy living room, furnished with a selection of sofas and armchairs, as well as a charming open fire ensuring space for all the family to unwind. Next door, the kitchen is characterful with a sloping ceiling and a pop of colour in the tiles which is sure to bring a smile to your face whilst cooking. For mealtimes, the dual-aspect dining room has a table seating eight which doubles as a great location for an evening spent playing board games. On the ground floor, you’ll also find two of the tastefully decorated bedrooms: a king and a twin, which can be made up as a super-king room upon request. Moving up to the first floor there are a further two rooms, a zip-and-link twin that can be made up as a super-king upon request, and a fabulous family room housing two small beds and offering flexibility. Completing the property is the family bathroom offering an oasis of calm for a long soak in the tub. Outside on the patio, you’ll be able to kick back and enjoy the serene scenery whilst cooking up a feast on the BBQ, ideal for the sunny summer months.

Within the College Valley where the property lies, you’ll have the chance to spot a wide range of interesting animals from goats and wild deer to kestrels and more with trails leading right from your doorstep to adventure. For a change of scenery, head to the coast (27 miles) where wildlife-watching boat trips from Seahouses and invigorating walks on the coast path ensure there’s something to please all the family.

Absolutely fantastic cottage. Location perfect for walking, and not too far drive (15-20mins) to Wooller which is a lovely village with all amenities, (note no large supermarket). If you crave remoteness on the hills, this is the place to start from. Never saw more than 5 people on any of our 5 to 6 hour walks each day, and we had chosen (by mistaRead moreke) half term week. The beach at Bamburgh Castle is just fantastic for dogs. Hide

Lovely location, very peaceful and the house was very clean & cosy. I stayed in the Schoolhouse previously then I booked Dunsdale House for a weekend away with my friends, everyone loved it, despite the weather we had a perfect weekend.

Beautiful property, perfect location for those looking to relax in the evenings and enjoy the fabulous countryside location by day, excellent for walkers, with routes directly from the door.

The cottage and location were stunning and we loved the surroundings and wildlife. It was beautifully quiet. If we were really picky, we couldn't get on with the showers. The grate was pretty mucky which we tried to clean and a frying pan was pretty yukky......probably passed cleaning. These are definitely small points. We had a really lovely Read moretime. Hide

This is the second time we have stayed in The College Valley, last year at The School house. Dunsdale is a much bigger property however the quality and standard remains the same, it is excellent. The house is presented beautifully and everything you need is provided. The towels and bed linen are of an exceptional standard and it was good night's slRead moreeep all round. If you're a fan of the outdoors and its solitude you seek, look no further, Dunsdale has it all. Already decided on a return visit next year. 10/10 Hide

Beautiful cottage in a beautiful location. Great for a walking holiday, very isolated so more time consuming if you are out and about. Totally worth it.

Our perfect holiday. Location was superb. There are not many properties that are that remote, especially with such a high standard of facilities. The best holiday home we have stayed in to date.
