The Hemmel

Simply superb. Every last little touch - from the hot water bottles for outdoor stargazing to the tennis ball for my dog - was very much appreciated. Excellent hosts.

Fantastic from start to finish. A wonderful 20 minute drive up to the property after leaving the main road. The property was everything we could have hoped for and more. The views were to die for too. Despite torrential rain for two days out of the four we had clear skies on the first and last night, when to our amazement we were blessed with a fantastic show from the northern lights which went on all evening. We were on top of the world and the experience can only be described as being out of this world. No surprise then to discover that Hemel means Heaven. It was.

What a fantastic holiday retreat Hemmel is. Kidlandlee have taken care of everything you need for your holiday stay with your dog. Such amazing views, well worth the drive up. For us it ticked all our boxes for an ideal getaway. A perfect base from which to explore this part of Northumberland, its rich history and amazing beaches. We will certainly return.

Had the Hemmel on my places to go list for over a year and managed to snag a visit this weekend as a late 50th birthday treat. The pictures do not do this place justice, to say it feels like you are in a world of your own is an understatement. The cottage is very well presented and equipped, even washing up wasn’t an issue as the view whilst doing so was amazing. Walks around property are great for all levels of fitness, unless like us you make a wrong turn on the blue route and end up at the bottom of the hill with a big hike back up but we needed the exercise. We will be back!

A fantastic find, excellent location with lots of local walks from and in the area.

What an amazing place Kidlandlee is, If you want to get away from stress and noise this is the place to be, The Views are beyond stunning and watching the wildlife is a joy. We have walked miles in all weathers this week and not seen another person! Perfect get away in a wonderfully comfy high quality cottage. Thank you Terry, Matt and the team for a wonderful 3rd stay.

Amazing accommodation and setting. The 3 mile track up to the cottage is an adventure in itself (bit rough) but is well worth it! The Hemmel is top notch finished to a very high standard and the quality of the equipment, furniture and furnishings is second to none. There are fabulous walks in the area and some great walks on forestry commission tracks straight from the accommodation. Some public footpaths are still shut because of damage from storms. If you want a remote holiday with great views and fab accommodation then book The Hemmel.

Simply stunning - Spectacular landscape in an area with lots to see and do. Quality and attention to detail at every turn. The Hemmel is a little gem. Many thanks to Terri, Matthew and their team.

The Hemmel - what a wonderful location with totally breathtaking views, you can see for miles and miles. The peace and quiet is amazing and only broken by the bird song. The accommodation is of the highest standard and the attention to detail ensures you have everything you might need during your stay. We have been staying in cottages all over the UK for the last 30 years - The Hemmel ranks as number 1, we will be back.

The Hemmel possibly has one of the best hill top panoramic views available. Hence our second visit to this fabulous place but this time for two weeks! The accommodation is 5 star, well thought through & lacks nothing that you may need. Our two dogs throughly enjoyed the fantastic walks around the estate and further afield of which there are many and varied suiting all types. The location is off the beaten track which is why The Hemmel and Kidlandlee has a special following. Terri, Matthew and their team are first class; nothing too much trouble. Already booked for next year - think view!

Our second visit to Kidlandlee and not our last ! Cannot recommend this place enough if you are looking for superb accomodation , sublime surroundings and to relax and unwind from the world. Everything is catered for and its so doggy friendly .

In every single way The Hemmel surpasses itself, the accommodation is spotless. Terri, Matthew and the team take pleasure in ensuring a stay here is everything that you could want, the welcome pack is a wonderful addition and as you make your way up the 3.5 mile track the anticipation of what you might find at the top is not a disappointment. A stay at Kidlandlee soothes your soul, time is easily lost absorbing the hillside views and if you can tear yourself away from that then a treatment in 'The Cabin' with Catherine only adds to your enjoyment. Fantastic people, fantastic place.

We have stayed in many places at home and abroad and always said when we find the perfect place we will return. We haven’t done this until now! Beauty, comfort and peace!

This is our second stay at The Hemmel and it was just as special as the first. The moment you walk in the door you immediately relax, which is also helped by a treatment with Catherine at The Cabin. We would also recommend using the star gazing kit that can be used upon request. Our first night was the perfect night for it and it was great fun to look up at the stars and watch the moon come over the hill. We are already discussing our next stay and can’t wait to return! Thank you very much to Terri, Matthew and the great team at Kidlandlee

We’ve just returned from another amazing weekend staying in The Hemmel at Kidlandlee, the fact that this was our third visit in a year should tell you something… We have found a little piece of heaven on earth nestled in the heart of the Northumberland National Park and hidden beneath the UK’s largest ‘Dark Sky’! The accommodation is perfect; clean and modern with traditional touches as well as some thoughtful treats in a lovely welcome pack. We enjoyed winter walks, cosy evenings by the fire and stargazing 🤩🔭 making good use of the new Stargazing Kit!

A gem! A genuine 5-star cottage lacking in nothing and with views that are truly spectacular. The owners have spared no expense to ensure visitors have a memorable holiday with its high quality furnishings and fittings through to the superior welcoming gifts. We have stayed in numerous holiday cottages over many years and it is rare to come across this standard. A deserved winner.

You'll feel very private here, with lovely views facing nothing but the rugged countryside and hills. Look out for the red squirrels who come to feed, walk, cycle (tough getting back but grand views), bring all you need and hunker in. It will suit anybody who loves nature and the great outdoors.
