The dramatic castle, still home to Duke of Northumberland, was the location used for Harry Potter’s Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Really enjoyed our time at the Hemmel and hopefully will return for a visit next year.
Really enjoyed our time at the Hemmel and hopefully will return for a visit next year. Well equipped kitchen, comfy beds, cosy living space and just a perfect location to enjoy some beautiful beaches and scenic walks. Amenities were not on our doorstep but Embleton post office and deli is a 5 minute drive away and had everything we needed. Their sausage rolls were a real treat on our walk from the door to Embleton beach. Lots of great places to eat, plenty of recommendations in the guest book.. The Rocking Horse Cafe serves a fab Northumberland breakfast and we had a lovely dinner at Craster Arms in Beadnell.
