West Dunkirk Hemmels

Beautiful views but the mattress is badly worn and needs replacing.

The overgrown grass verge also restricts visibility when exiting the property; a convex mirror opposite the entrance would greatly improve safety.

Property was clean, modern and very well equipped including separate under counter fridge and freezer.

It has outdoor seating overlooking fields and also in the courtyard and is quite private even though there are properties close by. There was plenty of storage space and lots of information was provided on places to visit. It's on the edge of the village and has off road car parking with electric charger. Situated in an area where there are so many things to see and places to visit within just over an hours drive. Overall it's a lovely place to stay and would recommend it.

The cottage is finished at a very high standard and has everything you need to have a relaxing holiday.

We loved the attention to detail and the view from the decking is beautiful.

What a gem West Dunkirk Hemmels is.

From entering the front door and all the way through to the bedroom with it's King sized double bed, it screams quality. What a transformation from, what was a cow shed, to the beautiful stylish cottage it is today. Walking on the stone flags with the under floor heating gently warming your feet, sitting at the huge dining table eating your meal which you've just prepared in the very stylish kitchen, watching the TV on the comfy settee drinking your wine in front of the log burner. When it's time for bed you're up the wooden stairs onto a small landing where a full length mirror greets you. Off the landing is a beautiful toilet/shower room with his and hers sinks above which are illuminated mirrors which helps you Ladies apply and remove your make up. You could spend all day in the shower. On into the bedroom with it's reclaimed wooden furniture and the King sized bed. It's best to say goodnight to your partner before getting into bed because, once in it, you'll be hard pressed to find them. An excellent base for walking/hiking or general sight seeing. I forgot to mention that, on arrival, we were greeted with a Welcome Tray of a bread loaf, a selection of teas, some coffee, jam/marmalade and in the fridge some milk and butter. An all round 5* experience, so much so, that we have booked for next year.

West Dunkirk Hemmels is a lovely property in a stunning location - comfortable, clean and very homely.

We felt at ease and at home as soon as we walked in. The standard of the decoration and the attention to detail is outstanding. Very close to Hadrian's Wall, it made an ideal base for our few days in Northumberland. Thank you, it was lovely.

This is an amazing stay.

Very comfortable, clean and spacious. Really loved the log burner and views from the living room. Great location for exploring hadrians wall, and very close to Hexham for supplies. Would highly recommend a stay! Owner of the property was also very friendly and provided some excellent advise for activities to do, and a nice walk to the pub!

Great cottage, good location.

Good views too. Well maintained with everything needed. Two comments in that context a) We found the heating system idiosyncratic - two days were pretty cold and two rooms stuck at 17°, and b) the parking required a bit of skill to do a three point turn - OK in our Volvo XC40, anything longer might have been more challenging.

What a find lovely conversion every box ticked had everything you would ever need and a lovely tray with tea coffee biscuits local paper and a loaf of bread + Milk and butter in fridge definitely be back we had a weekend away but far to much to do in the area book for a week next time (Country Inn pubs food was fabulous too)

West Dunkirk is just perfect for two.

The cottage has been beautifully decorated throughout. It had everything we needed. The attention to detail was outstanding. We would definitely recommend it to friends and family. C&J

Excellent property.

A former farm building, sympathetically converted into a modern holiday home. Ideally situated to reach most of the attractions in the North East. The property is well equipped with every kitchen requirement. Future guests should be aware there is no electric shaving point in the bathroom, and we would recommend the purchase of an anti slip mat for the shower.

The previous ‘cow shed’ has been transformed into an outstanding cottage.

With facilities second to none, attention to detail go far beyond what we were expecting. It’s in a lovely area of Northumberland with many places within easy reach. Hexham, Bamburgh Castle, Lindisfarne and Rothbury to name a few. Elaine & Edwin Cheshire

Loved our stay.

Cottage is just as good as pictures show. Modern, comfortable with everything you need. Loved the outside decked area which was perfect to relax on an evening. Would definitely look to return

Beautiful conversion with stunning views over the countryside.

Very warm welcome from the owner who lives next door. Lots of information in the cottage about everything there is to do and see in the area. We did not find the mattress comfortable - but that's personal preference. A brilliant place to explore the region.

This cottage is a great find.

Stunning conversion. Beautifully appointed. Owner is nearby and quick to help with anything you need. Lots to see in the area. Only negative was the bed was too soft for us - but that’s personal preference. No hesitation in recommending.

My wife and I stayed for 4 nights at "West Dunkirk Hemmels" we enjoyed every minute of our stay.

The converted Hemmel (Cow Shed) has been thoughtfully brought back to life, we found it so relaxing, the lounge, with bifold doors out onto the decked area with seating and a great view was really nice, the large dining kitchen was fully equipped with everything you may need, the bathroom with the rain shower was was very welcoming at the end of a long day out walking. The off road parking was a bonus. The owner Mark introduced himself and was very helpful, he is open to any suggestions and comments that you think may improve the accommodation, personally we didn't think that much needed improving. We would highly recommend West Dunkirk Hemmels to family and friends. We will be back, thank you Mark and Niky. xx Dave & Janette, Barnsley.

Fantastic conversion of former farm buildings done with high quality and much thought to produce a beautiful and practical finished dwelling in An area renowned for its stunning countryside.

Perfect hosts available at all times if required.
