“I’m so glad that you are there in Rothbury to sort out all my computer problems at the drop of a hat. What a difference it makes to my peace of mind!”

“Colliedog Computers have always given me prompt, professional (and reasonably priced!) help and service whenever I have called upon them. I would certainly recommend them!”

“I would just like to thank Michael at Colliedog Computers for an excellent service when I needed to upgrade my home/work PC!

I was offered a number of options to suit both my budget and needs and was able to discuss the advantages of each system at ease. The probational advice on the benefits of each system were fully explained and along with introducing some cutting edge new technology i have gained the perfect system tailored exactly to my needs! Not only that but it arrived ready to “power up” out the box and i was up and running in no time! The after sales support is great too with anything that comes up or advice on the new system’s benefits quickly replied to!

Thanks again Michael!”

“Our home computer crashed and the warranty etc with Dell had expired. By chance, a friend recommended Michael so off to the shop we go. The main issue we had was that every photo we had taken from the birth of our children too the present was stored on the computer and I hadn’t backed anything up. We left the computer with Michael and awaited his diagnosis. It wasn’t good!!! However, by using his fantastic knowledge & software he managed to retrieve the photos and many documents, which he saved onto an external hard-drive for us to collect; just superb.

Obviously, our computer was beyond repair so Michael offered to build us a new one. His advice was excellent and we gave him the go ahead to build the new system incorporating the tower of our choice. Since we’ve had the new system, I have emailed & called Michael for advice and I can honestly say, it’s a pleasure to deal with him as he always comes up with the solution in double quick time.

To anybody who has computer issues, forget the big shops and their call centres and go to see Michael at Colliedog Computers, I can’t recommend him highly enough.”

“It’s Diana Gilbertson here, e-mailing you off my (not as) shiny new RED laptop! I just wanted to write and say thank you very much for all your help in getting me sorted with a new laptop so quickly after the sad demise of the old green Dell. It’s a fantastic replacement, just what I need, and I can’t thank you enough. And especially thank you for managing to sort me out with it in time for my return to University – I would have been lost without it. No complaints at all, I’m even starting to prefer the red over the green. Well. Almost!”

“I have used Colliedog computers for a number of years. I find that the 24/7 internet unlimited download facility is very useful as I regularly update a web site and often have to access and download information that is only available over the web and I have no concerns that a download limit will stop me accessing information I need urgently. As they provide e mail addresses with a local designation the username I use is my first choice.

The computer build service has meant that I have been able to buy a computer that is designed to meet my needs at a reasonable price and I have not had to struggle to make an off the shelf model work satisfactorily.

When problems have arisen I have always been given prompt efficient and relevant help and assistance.”

“I can happily recommend Colliedog Computers for prompt, effective resolution of IT problems, attention to detail, courteous service, and apparently endless patience!”

“We have been with Colliedog Computers since we moved to Rothbury more than 3 years ago. The service has always been most satisfactory. Any problems we have had have been promptly and efficiently dealt with. We would highly recommend this business to anyone. Having the shop in the village is most beneficial.”

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your help in the past couple of weeks. My knowledge of computers is very limited, and you were just so patient and calm. You always seem to be able to speak in layman terms, and not jargon as I have had many times before. I think your approach his highly commendable, thank you again.”

Fran Tait

“I have been using Colliedog Computers for nearly 10 years under its previous and current owners. I have found the service to be good, quick and technically efficient. I had a PC rebuilt 6 years ago and apart from needing a disc clean on a couple of occasions I have had no problems either with the PC itself or with the broadband supplied.

Any price advantage gained by travelling to PC suppliers is lost because of the travel costs and added to this is the reliability, friendliness and convenience of having a local computer shop in our midst. I always know that any problem that I may have will be solved.”

Doug Metcalf

“We have always been delighted with the service from Colliedog Computers, both as a business and on a personal level we have used their services for the past nine years. We find it invaluable to be able to talk to someone face to face about any problems or new developments, much nicer than a faceless corporation.”

Teresa Wilson & Bill Brown
The Turk’s Head, Rothbury


“After several years of John Rayner’s extremely professional and friendly service I thought that it would take an exceptional person to equal it. I decided to take a bet on Michael and this came up trumps. The work was carried out in a friendly, professional and timely manner. The added bonus of being able to contact Michael in the event of queries, either by going into the shop or picking up the phone, makes Michael’s service one of a kind. I would certainly recommend Colliedog Computers to all.”
