At The Hemmel, you'll love the exposed French oak and stonework, along with the wood burner on chilly evenings. Say hello to the alpacas in the morning or enjoy some fresh air in either of two beautifully maintained gardens.

The Hemmel - UK43357
Guests will love the exposed French oak and stonework, the wood burner during the evening and saying hello to the alpacas in the morning.. All on the Ground Floor:
Open plan living space.
Living area: Smart TV, Woodburner, Patio Doors Leading To Garden...
Bedroom 1: Four Poster Kingsize (5ft) Bed Ensuite: Walk-In Shower, Heated Towel Rail, Toilet
Bedroom 2: Zip And Link 2 x Single (3ft) Beds
Bathroom 1: Bath With Shower Over Bath, Heated Towel Rail, Toilet. Underfloor central heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Initial fuel for wood burner included. Travel cot and highchair. Welcome pack. . Front garden. Enclosed back garden with patio and garden furniture. Bike store. Private parking for 2 cars. No smoking. Please note: There is a step in the garden.. Just over the border on the England side, sits the gorgeous small village of Cornhill-on-Tweed. A few moments into the beautiful countryside of Northumberland lies West Moneylaws, where you’ll find ’The Hemmel’ and its smaller sister property, ’The Granary’.
The Hemmel is a semi-detached two-bedroom cottage, finished to high standards with the comfort and enjoyable experience of the guest at the forefront of the owner’s mind. When you’re finished taking in all the exposed stone and gorgeous woodwork within the property then take a walk around the grounds and say hi to the owner’s pet alpacas, and pet sheep including our favourite ‘Nigel’.
The Hemmel is the ideal property for either a couple who appreciate some space and luxury, friends taking a celebration break together or a small family of four (not including a baby or toddler as a travel cot can be provided). The two 3ft zip and link single beds in the second room can be fitted together to make a super kingsize bed. Those lucky enough to take advantage of the main room will appreciate the contemporary four-poster bed and enjoy the larger size en-suite which was designed to larger than average. The open-plan living space is just fabulous and has so much light from the skylight windows and large patio doors which lead to the enclosed garden. Whether socialising or watching the kids, the open space is a really enjoyable place to be whether you’re having fun or just relaxing with a cuppa.
The extent of activities available nearby range from outdoor pursuits such as fishing in the River Tweed or shooting (subject to permits and seasons) to boat trips from nearby Eyemouth or Berwick. Spend a day at the beach, the huge stretch of blonde sand at Goswick is highly recommended for a quiet walk or a family picnic, although Berwick beach does also have some amenities nearby. Holy Island and Bamburgh are minutes away and Harry Potter fans will have a sense of familiarity when visiting Alnwick and its castle.

We have stayed in many cottages but this by far was probably the best.
We have stayed in many cottages but this by far was probably the best. Beautiful decor throughout, gorgeous setting, a lovely welcome hamper and it was so warm with it's underfloor heating and the so easy to run wood burner topped it off. Excellent in every way. Perfect!
