About this property
This wonderfully appointed barn conversion rests within the village of Chatton, tucked between the picturesque National Park and the breath-taking coastline of Northumberland. Hemmel Cottage promises a heart-warming stay for a family looking to get away from it all and spend some time within an area filled with attractions and activities to keep everyone busy. Rest your walking boots at the entrance, before stepping into this elegantly presented dwelling, offering everything you will need during your stay. It comes with two well-presented bedrooms, comprising of a king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower room and a charming twin bedroom, each promising a delightful space to wake up to each morning.
Completing the interior is a spacious, open-plan living room which boasts a wonderful blend of contemporary styling and traditional features to offer an idyllic space to spend your evenings relaxing. Prepare a delicious home-cooked meal within the amply equipped kitchen before gathering the family around the dining table for a sociable evening where you can tuck into your meal and plan the days ahead. Look forward to sinking into the sofa with a deserved refreshing beverage in hand whilst the warmth of the woodburning fire fills the space with a sense of tranquillity during those chilly winter evenings. During the warmer months, spend time within the rear garden, where you and your loved ones can soak up the sun before heading out the day.

Instructions on how to get there & key collection were excellent. As soon as you opened the front door & had a look around you could see it was exceptionally clean, comfortable & well decorated.There were some lovely touches eg the Christmas tree & decorations as we were there just after Christmas until just after the New Year. The welcome pack of Cava, shortbread & milk was a very nice touch, thank you.The beds were very comfortable & the X2 bathrooms were very useful with there being X4 adults. There was plenty of storage in the bedrooms for your clothes etc. The kitchen area had plenty of equipment for cooking meals . The lounge area is lovely & relaxing with comfortable sofas. There is adequate room for X4 adults. At night it is dark but there are sensor lights & torches if you did not want to put the light on so all bases well covered. Lovely garden at the back & the X2 parking spaces were so useful. The cottage is well positioned for exploring Northumberland & the Scottish Borders. It is also in a quiet position. We would highly recommend & would love to return in the future. Thank you for a fabulous stay.
