"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
Dear Ann Many thanks for the time you took to provide the positive feedback. It’s does so much good for our business as we rely so much on keeping our guest happy! We would love to see you again next year! Regards Steve Property Owner

"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.

"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.
Dear Ciaran, Many thanks for your kind words. I am delighted that you enjoyed your stay and would consider returning. I am sorry to hear that the property didn’t hit the 5 stars in relation to the cleaning. We as owners strive to have the property spotless via our cleaning contractors. Please in future if there are any concerns with the cleaning report it to the letting agent to could request the cleaners to return to ensure it’s to a perfect standard. Property Owner

"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
Dear Grant many thanks for your positive feedback. We note your comments and wanted to inform you that the blind in the main bedroom is operated via the remote control which is on the wall next to the bed. I will check and ensure the battery’s are not exhausted. We also provide an oil heated radiator in the main bedroom due to the radiators being the last on the heating circuit. We have noted that the door on the balcony had been stiff and since then have had it adjusted. We welcome the comments and hope you would consider The Hemmel again for future stays. Property Owner

"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."

"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.
Thank you for such wonderful feedback! Our family love The Hemmel too and we’re so thrilled that you enjoyed your stay. We’ll look at options for a stair gate. Property Owner

"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.

"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!

"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.
-
"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 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.

"Great holiday and a great place to stay."

"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.

Where you’ll be staying
BEADNELL
Seahouses 1.5 miles; Bamburgh 5 miles.
This attractive and peaceful harbour village is situated beside one of the most beautiful stretches of Northumberland’s Heritage Coastline - Beadnell Bay. Established in Saxon times, Beadnell was once an important fishing village and a smuggler's haven. Nowadays, it is still a fishing village, but is equally popular with holidaymakers who come to enjoy its pretty harbour and, of course, the nearby sandy beaches. The village has a shop, two pubs and a café serving food. Popular Seahouses is just over a mile away and has shops, a supermarket and restaurants, and it also offers boat trips from the harbour to the magnificent Farne Islands - a haven for bird watchers. Bamburgh is close by, whilst the market town of Alnwick with its Castle and Gardens, shops, pubs and restaurants is a short drive away.
