The Hemmel (Beadnell)

The Hemmel is an outstanding property ‘fit for a king.

’ We were 4 adult couples and we loved the location (5 minutes from 2 excellent pubs), the chip van in Beadnell and the wonderful walks.

Had a great stay at The Hemmel celebrating my 66th birthday with my children, grandchildren and other family members.

It suited our needs perfectly as it was great for our dogs and we needed to park quite a few cars. Great quiet location for visiting all what the area had to offer. Beach just a 10 minute walk and lovely pubs in the village. We hope to return in the not too distant future. Thank you.

My husband and I stayed at the Hemmel with our son and his family.

We loved the house which was very clean on our arrival. The house was ideal for three generations and we walked to the beach and into the village where there are excellent pubs and cafes.There was ample parking for three cars and plenty of outside furniture. The views over the surrounding countryside are lovely. Inside there was a welcome hamper including bread, milk, butter, wine, tea and cake etc and plenty of dishwasher tablets. The kitchen is very well- equipped with glasses and crockery. The four bathrooms are excellent with fluffy towels and constant hot water and the beds were extremely comfortable with good quality pillows and linen. We stayed for a long weekend and enjoyed cooking at the house and eating in Beadnell and Bamburgh. We hope to visit again.

We were 6 adults and two young children.

We all really enjoyed the Hemmel. Lots of space, comfortable and warm (it was chilly outside). The log burning stove was very nice. The living area being on the 1st floor meant we had a great view out over the fields. Our 7 year old grandson wants to come back to celebrate his 10th birthday!

Fantastic property.

Very comfortable, light and spacious and extremely clean and well maintained. The owner was also very helpful and responsive

The Hemmel was the most beautifully appointed, comfortable, spacious house for our party of 8 adults and one baby.

It was superbly equipped with everything you could possibly need. The quality of the furnishings and linens was excellent. Location was perfect with a footpath walk directly to the sea and a.short stroll to the centre of the village for pubs and shops. Highly recommended

Stunning property, great space for a large family gathering and good location for Beadnell Towers and the Beach.

Heating issue resolved quickly with maintenance although master en suite shower still running cold when we left (no real issue as house bathroom next door). Would recommend!

Enjoyed our stay & great location for the beach-we’ve booked again for next year Having access to a BBQ would be great especially during the summer

This house was ideal for a family get together.

The eating and living area upstairs worked well. The house was well equipped with kitchen utensils, towels etc. The house is located on the edge of the village and just a 15 minute walk from the shop. It was very quiet. Our only complaint is that the temperature regulator on the shower in the main bedroom was stuck on hot which made the shower unusable....this problem had been highlighted by the previous occupant. Otherwise a lovely peaceful stay in a beautiful location

Great house for big get togethers for quality time together.

We absolutely loved our stay at The Hemmel.

The house is very spacious, comfortable and well equipped. It was perfect for our large family group. We loved its location as the last house of the delightful village of Beadnell . We spent a lot of time enjoying the balcony with its lovely views over the fields. We'd love to return.

Loved our stay at The Hemmel.

It had everything we were looking for and more in terms of space, beautiful surroundings and accessibility to local amenities.The house is stunning and our family of 7 adults and 2 children had a wonderful stay. Good pub at the bottom of the road serving excellent food too. I would suggest getting the owners number prior to arrival as the contact with Sykes was very poor when trying to get information prior to arrival. 10 out of 10 for the house etc tho.

Just enjoyed a wonderful stay with family over the bank holiday weekend.

The location is superb for the beach and there are plenty of local facilities within walking distance. The property itself is well fitted out and has superior furnishings to usual rentals. It offers very comfortable facilities in both the living and bedroom areas. We had an issue with the hot water but it was sorted within 2 hours by the owner. Would definitely recommend

Excellent stay in a beautiful location!

We all had such a wonderful weekend and loved how close we were to the beach and local pubs which were both short walks away. Heating and water went off at one point but this was very quickly resolved as the wind had blew out the flame on the boiler and Steve sorted it quickly. Thank you, we’re all missing being in such a lovely peaceful place.

What a fabulous Easter weekend we had at The Hemmel.

Party of 7, 5 adults and 2 children, loved spending time together in this wonderful home. Welcome basket was a fabulous way to start the weekend and had lots of treats for both the adults and children. Living areas were comfortable and we enjoyed being able to sit in the different areas outside as well - the children loved playing Boules which we found in the garden! Bedrooms were very comfortable with ample space for us all. Beadnell is a beautiful place to visit with pub, restaurant and the beach all within easy walking distance. We will most definitely be back to stay again in the future. Thank you!

We had a lovely stay in what is a beautiful property.

Very comfortable and very well stocked with everything you need and a Welcome pack that was much appreciated. Within a short walk of two pubs that serve lovely meals and a 10 minute walk to the beach. All in all a very good choice

On our arrival on Friday the 28th March everything appeared okay, however around 10:30pm that evening there was a dreadful smell of sewerage from one of the guest bedrooms.

As it was quite late and the likelihood of getting anyone to attend was minimal, the guest using that bedroom had an uncomfortable night’s sleep on the sofa in the lounge. I called the numbers provided the following morning to report this issue. I then had to follow this call up again later that day, as I had heard nothing back from Sykes. During a ‘third’ chasing call that day to Sykes, I was informed that our contract was not with Sykes but with the owner of the property, who had been contacted but apparently no response had been given at that time. During that day, in the ‘welcome folder’ in the property I had found a number (seemingly a late addition written in biro) for the properties ‘handyman’. I called this number and left a message as to the issues we were having, as by now we had also discovered that patio doors to another of the guest bedrooms could not be locked and had been open all night. To his credit the maintenance man called me back within about 15minutes and said he would be on-site in further 15 minutes, which he was. It was discovered that the sewerage smell was down to a ‘trap’ in the shower waste of the bathroom to the bedroom in question which he re-fitted. We also managed to lock the patio doors but only by the maintenance man putting his full weight against the outside of the doors with me forcing the locking handle up internally. Subsequent to this we decided not to open these doors again. This as you might guess didn’t put me in a great ‘frame of mind’ as I spent a lot of my first day making calls. Subsequently, following the issues that happened on our first evening and the security of the bedroom external doors, small things became more of an issue. These being; The showers in two of the bedrooms could not be regulated for temperature, one of which was the shower I was using. This meant the temperature of the water was so hot it was only bearable for a really short period of time. Altering the temperature control ‘fully’ in either direction made no difference to the temperature. It suggested that the thermostat had gone on both shower fittings. The temperature would not have been ideal for young children. The utilities in the kitchen are at best poor. The oven was filthy, the cooking utensils (saucepans etc.) had to be washed before they could be used as they were covered in a film of grease, the dishwasher didn’t have any salt. The freezer needed to be completely defrosted. The door to the balcony off the kitchen also looked to be suffering from the same problem as the one on the ground floor bedroom (i.e) once opened it was very difficult to close and secure. This was disappointing as it meant the balcony could not be used during our stay. There wasn’t a cooking knife that could cut anything, even after trying to sharpen them on a sharpener I managed to find in a drawer. It all sounds like a real moan but the property for a week was approximately £2k, so I was expecting better things On the upside this property is superbly located, very spacious with a contemporary feel. The bedrooms were also very comfortable but it needs a serious overhaul of the facilities.

This house was beautiful & perfect for our family.

The welcome basket was amazing & very thoughtful. Very well decorated & well equipped. We had a second fridge which was a god send for over the Christmas period. Very warm & Toastie. We would all rebook in a heartbeat. Thank you ❤❤

We had a brilliant week at the Hemmel in Beadnell.

The property definitely deserved five stars. Perfect in every way. We will certainly return in the future.

We have just returned from a glorious week at The Hemmel.

A gorgeous house ideally located in Beadnell on the beautiful Northumberland coast. All creature comforts catered for to a very high standard. It was so lovely we have already booked for a fortnight next year.

The house is beautiful.

Beds comfy. Kitchen well equipped. Lovely welcome package. Living area just gorgeous. Very tastefully decorated. Situated in Beadnell which is just so perfect with lovely places to eat 5 mins walk and 10 mins walk to beach. Plenty of outside seating. I would def stay again.

Lovely place, had a great time.

A couple of issues as follows, moved from main bedroom to twin room because lack of blind on top window meant too light in early morning, also the room never got warm, in fact it was cold. Ensure bathroom in twin room worked fine but there was always an odour Door from kitchen to balcony was difficult to lock the door needs adjustment

We had a great time staying at the Hemmel .

The house was gorgeous and accommodated 10 of us perfectly.There was everything we needed , the house was well equipped and spacious. The beach was just a short walk away as was the pub , The craster arms which we ate in a couple of time’s which offered great service and food .. The location was great offering short drives to seahouses , Bamburgh and surrounding areas . I would definitely love to return.

We loved The Hemmel Big spacious house Ideal for a family or large group Great to have off street parking and a private enclosed garden for dogs Everything was top quality Thank you

Amazing property.

10/10. The owners have put a lot of effort and thought into the property's finish right down to the coasters. It's very unique and with no cheap tack around. The bedrooms have a great finish and also showers. The kitchen is smartly finished with granite tops and a spare fridge for all the extras. The large drying room/laundry area was a dream, particularly with the many kids and guests staying. Huge kitchen table to take everyone for dinner. Comfy sofa in the evening to put your feet up in front of the log fire. Great location with a short walk (2 mins) to a pub and a couple of restaurants with great food. There is a park for kids nearby, and the beach is within walking distance. We didn't use our car once until we left. I have already booked here again.

A lovely house, unusual in having the living area upstairs.

It is very convenient for the beach and Beadnell where there are several places to eat. Very dog friendly.

Enjoyed our stay.

Would be useful to provide an optional sun shade for the outside balcony.

A beautiful very spacious cottage that created a brilliant weeks family holiday celebrating our 30th Anniversary.

Stunning views and perfect location. Thank you.

Beautiful house, very relaxing, just a few minutes stroll to the beach.

Pub and cafe just around the corner. Mobile fish and chip bar on the village Green most nights. Would highly recommend.

A fabulous cottage set in a lovely convenient location.

Both outside and inside the facilities were 10/10. Thank you for making our stay perfect. Only one thing that may help future guests choosing to stay with small children the option to have a stair gate for the inside stair case. But we can’t fault our experience. Thank you for making our celebratory weekend perfect.

Fab house we all had a great stay just wished the garden was dog friendly and we could have let him out Everything we needed and more Thank you sally reilly

Great family house in a perfect location.

We had a large family gathering and it worked for all ages. Very practical House with a safe garden>

Nothing but positive to feedback.

The house is lovely. We were 6 adults and 4 kids ranging from 11 to 16 and all had a fantastic time. Plus a dog! The house is so well appointed, comfortable and spacious. The kitchen has everything you need to cook at home. While we weren't able to take advantage of the outside seating areas during our stay as the weather wasn't good enough, they looked lovely and would tempt us back for a 'summer' holiday. The location is great on the edge of the village but accessible for the beach, and great walks in both directions on the beach to Newton and up to Seahouses. We had the most minor glitch when we arrived in that the two truckles weren't made up as the booking had been miscounted. The owner was there within 10 minutes and added to an already very generous welcome package :) Back to my original comment, we couldn't fault a thing and hope we'll be able to stay again sometime in the future. Thank you for sharing your beautiful house.

Superb house, we totally loved our stay and so helpful with allowing us to locate a hot tub in grounds.

The welcome pack was a lovely touch. There wasn’t one thing that we didn’t enjoy and the house lived up to the expectations set or surpassed the expectations. Thank you and we would love to return again.

Stayed here for my 50th birthday with all my family.

Fantastic stay. Beautiful cottage very well thought out accommodation. Beadnell is just stunning and the beach is amazing. We will be back.

The Hemmel is a lovely cottage in an excellent location.

A short walk to the Saltwater cafe and Craster Arms. Both are dog friendly! Spacious accommodation with lovely views.

Beautiful cottage.

Excellent welcome pack. We had a call from the owner on the day we arrived to check if everything was ok. No complaints whatsoever.

A very well presented and maintained house which has all you need to enjoy a relaxing holiday in Northumberland.

The arrangements work perfectly and we enjoyed sitting out on the terrace in the morning and evening and it is a real sun trap. The personal touches were great and the owner popped in to make sure we had all we needed for our holiday. We would certainly look to go back to The Hemmel in the future.

Perfect location for families.

Property was in excellent condition and equipped to high standard.

Great holiday and a great place to stay.

Love the cow theme! Hope to come back again soon.

First visit and won’t be the last.

Fantastic cottage, lovely village.

We thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful property.

Our group of family and friends included ages one up to seventy years. A huge kitchen table was brilliant for family meals. Comfy beds and lots of bathrooms added to the feeling of luxury. Beadnell beach was an added bonus.

We cannot fault the property.

The layout was ideal for my family, six adults and four children between 13 and 5, with the 'upside down' layout being unusual, but perfect for us. The location was also perfect for us with the lovely beach being close - as was the children's play park. An added bonus was the countryside around the property with horses and Alpacas next door.

We wanted a large house for seven family members with good amenities and in a good location.

The Hemmel was just perfect. Beautifully furnished and very spacious.

This house was unbelievable, I’d spent weeks looking for the right place for my 30th birthday.

Amazing location, every room decorated to perfection! It was warm and inviting and I will 100% be back!
