What a fabulous little place to visit. I spotted it whilst route planning for a trip to Berwick-upon-Tweed. There was no way I was driving through without visiting. The is and rely solely on donations. It includes an exhibition area and shop. It's fully accessible including the toilet facilities. There's plenty of parking near by. It was absolutely fascinating to discover a full history of the Coldstream Guards, whom I've seen numerous times carrying out their royal duties in London. If you're planning on passing through Coldstream please do find an hour to pop in, discover, and support this wonderful gem. I even took the opportunity to try on the uniform, oh my, the weight and how many fiddly buttons, not to mention that bear skin hat!!! In case you're wondering they are all real bearskin. Made from skins that would have been destroyed and binned whilst protecting residents from areas with large bear populations, reducing conflict between humans and nature. A historical and informative muesum. It's to visit, donation requested. The lady working today was very kind and helpful during our visit. Good fun for kids as able to dress up in outfits and has activities. Not dog friendly. Parking outside. Visited today, it is an and informative and well worth a visit. It's to enter but please leave a donation as these places are few and far between and should be treasured Small but very local charting the history of the town and its long association with the Coldstream Guards. Full size models of soldiers right up to present day. Many other models and dioramas depicting battle scenes in miniature. Gentleman on desk was very knowledgeable and to talk with.

Lovely little place Shame not a bit bigger But it nice and compact and has everything in there to see There are 3 rooms 1st room about the Guards History over the years from the beginning 2nd room about the town of Coldstream 3rd room about Sports in Coldstream But overall very and really enjoyed it Fantastic , with a very helpful guide who was happy to share his vast knowledge about the history of the and local events . Very informative and interesting. It is very small inside. Free, but donations are welcome. We were in the area after visiting Flodden Field and thought we'd cross over the bridge to Scotland and head back again. However, we saw a sign for this and decided to take a look. I must say the warm and informative welcome from the lady on reception was exceptional. The itself was very interesting, with uniforms for the kids to try on while we were reading the information. A huge bonus was the King of Scotland's weapons from Flodden Field, where we'd just been. This was fortuitous on our part but really made the day link together. I was so overwhelmed I cracked my wallet open and spent £20 in the gift shop. So well worth a if you're nearby. Notable there are also toilets in the courtyard if needed and plenty of parking nearby. Lovely informative museum, giving you a history of the Coldstream Guards. In addition, the railway and surrounding villages and local people.
