The Hemmel

You enter The Hemmel into an open-plan living space with wooden floors running throughout. The layout is all on one level, accessible via ramp, with the living area opening directly onto a raised patio through bi-fold doors. A kitchen equipped for real cooking sits alongside the dining space—two electric ovens, an induction hob, and a dishwasher mean you can manage meals for six without improvisation. Three bedrooms, each with its own en-suite, provide proper privacy: one with a double bed and walk-in shower, one with a kingsize and roll-top bath plus separate shower, and one with twin beds and shower. Heating, Wi-Fi, bed linen and towels are all included, and the property has parking for three cars on site.

This contemporary barn conversion sits in the North Tyne Valley within Northumberland National Park, on a quiet farm between Bellingham and Kielder. The location works equally well for walkers, cyclists, water sports on Kielder Water, or stargazers—the area is a Dark Sky National Park. One dog can stay free, though they must be kept on lead. The enclosed garden and patio have furniture for outdoor time. Smoking is not permitted inside.
