Beautiful, peaceful spot. Sometimes interrupted by Army Helicopter manoeuvres. Well equipped comfortable home.

We have to agree; what a stunning, tranquil spot to relax and recharge your batteries! It's a shame that your peace was disrupted slightly during your stay by some local Army manoeuvres. We understand that it was a sporadic exercise and wouldn't normally affect this idyllic setting. We hope to welcome you back again soon. Julie, Customer Support...

Our second stay at The Blue Hemmel and enjoyed just as much as the first time. Everything you could possible need is in the house and Simon is the perfect host going over and above my expectations. If you want an escape off grid this is definitely the place. Would highly recommend. ...

Wow you are in for a treat if you have book this accommodation. Everything you could possibly need is in the barn and it is so comfortable and warm. Although slightly remote this was part of the appeal for us. It was a true escape from life for a short time. We have stayed in several holiday homes and this was by far the best. We didn’t want to leave. ...

I can thoroughly recommend this beautiful barn. From picturesque walks to stargazing it fits the bill. The property is equipped to the highest standard, it's immaculately presented, and the internal view is matched by the amazing external view. We had a wonderful stay and will definitely be returning....
