Perfect little chapel conversion! Eco friendly with underfloor pellet heating, and electric car charger (costs extra as required), we loved it. Lovely comfy beds, all mod cons, lovely and cosy. In fact too cosy as the wood burner was sadly never able to be used even in November! Friendly locals, and a handy shop and cafe round the corner. The Bell Read morepub just a few minutes stroll is community run and fantastic. The owner was fantastic, always in touch via WhatsApp when needed. Thank you. Hide

A lovely holiday home - excellent. Lots of space and very comfortable. The cottage was warm and had many modern features whilst retaining the original character of the old chapel. There was a lovely welcome pack and the cottage had everything we needed.
