  The Old Chapel is a little gem. We were concerned about this property not being very warm given that it’s a converted chapel and we visited in the winter (over the new year), however, it is quite honestly one of the warmest properties that we’ve stayed in! The heating was responsive and efficient meaning that we were nice and cosy while the storms outside raged on! In terms of equipment, we always judge a cottage based on whether we can both make a gousto recipe at the same time without fighting over equipment. Again, the Old Chapel came up trumps. Plenty of kitchen equipment, enough worktop space to both be cooking at the same time and again, the hob and oven were responsive. The chapel was very clean, the bed comfortable and the shower was great too. All in all, lots of space for us to ring in the new year. In terms of location, there are walks around but they involve stiles which our dog won’t tolerate being lifted over, so we tended to go a bit further afield for walks. But being located a few minutes away from the A1 (although you’d never know it!) it meant that there was plenty of things within reasonable driving distances too. We’d definitely recommend this cottage to stay in.

  The Old Chapel is a charming and very comfortable holiday accommodation. The four of us really felt at home there. As the weather was fine we went on outings and trips and explored Swaledale and Wensleydale.We also went to Harrogate and Fountains Abbey. One absolute highlight is Ripon Cathedral. We found out that there is Evensong every evening and we recommend to go there and enjoy the choir singing. You could find out on the internet at what time it starts and make sure not to be late. Evensong lasts about 45 minutes. Richmond is also well worth a visit. The old railway station has been turned in a restaurant and café. In the bakery there we got lovely bread. From the Old Station you can also go on lovely walks - short or a bit longer just as you like. Full marks for everything ! ! Herbert

  This property is really only suitable for a couple who just want somewhere to sleep for a few nights.

  There is absolutely no storage provision to unpack clothes, not even a cupboard, and although we only stayed for 3 nights we had to live out of suitcases and I wouldn't have wanted to stay for a week, or longer. Some drawers or something under the bed would have been useful. No hob or oven just a microwave (this is as listed) but minimum crockery and cutlery etc. Just 2 teaspoons or 2 small plates really isn't enough, even for 2 people. The bed cover seemed to have white animal hairs on it but not sure if there had been a dog in there or if the hairs were from the real animal skin rug on the floor. Not suitable for us so I wouldn't return to this property.

  The Old Chapel is a lovely place to spend your holiday. It was our second stay in the Old Chapel ( which is also named "Coach House" in the Visitors' Book ) The four of us loved the atmosphere of the building and the beautiful garden. We went on outings to Harrogate / Ripon / Aysgarth and Hawes and several times to Richmond for shopping and walks along the river. Following the recommendations in the visitors' guide we had very good meals in THE BLACK BULL INN in Moulton and still better in THE SHOULDER OF MUTTON Inn & Restaurant in Middleton Tyas (the next little village to the north). That was an excellent holiday in a super location.

  Lovely owners.

  .. Very strange place...Extremely claustrophobic due to one small window with frosted glass... Little natural light so had to sit in with all the ceiling lights on...No table to put your drinks etc on...No hob to heat anything, no robe or even rail to hang your clothes, yet described as a holiday cottage by Sykes..Badly designed with unnecessary king size bed.. Should have a double bed side on with a small wardrobe, then the settee could be opposite the TV with a small coffee table..OR robe where the silly oversized TV is, and a 32" (plenty) TV on a stand where the useless storage box is under the window..Put clear glass in the window fir God's sake...!!
