breakfast bar. The living room has plush sofas with a projector connected to an Apple TV Box which you can log in to any of your streaming services. There is also a woodburning stove which invites you to settle down. The dining table has been specifically designed to make use of the original Chapel pews and is the perfect place to enjoy mealtimes before heading outside for a drink on the outdoor seating. There is a double bedroom on the ground-floor and a mezzanine double upstairs, each neutrally presented. Rounding off the interior is the contemporary bathroom complete with choice of roll-top bath and walk-in shower. Within a short walk are two fantastic pubs, The Plough and the Horse and Jockey, where you can treat the group to some hearty grub and a selection of ales.

    We woke up to beautiful sunshine both mornings. Major bonus this time of year . The chapel has everything you would need for a stay. Beautiful , would definitely stay again

  • Andrew

    This is a wonderful conversion, renovated to a high standard. We love the property and the peace and tranquility of the area, the very few locals you come across are very friendly in this tiny village. Very clean on arrival and heating easily adjusted and with a great log burner, downstairs bedroom and walk in shower room/deep bath adjacent are lovely, shower has great pressure, constant hot water. Both beds and seating very comfy with quality towels and bedding. The upstairs bedroom has a toilet and wash basin. Fully equipped kitchen with everything you could possibly need of excellent quality . An improvement since our last visit is the addition of a good size television in the lounge as opposed to the overhead wall projector which was a little difficult to navigate. Plenty of great quiet walks direct from the front door. Maintained to a high standard inside and outside. Keysafe entry, within approx 5 miles from major supermarkets and within driving distance of many peak district areas. Would definitely recommend and will return as we absolutely love it here. An absolute credit to the owners.

    The kitchen is huge and has everything you need for your stay! The underfloor heating is great after a cold wet walk and the wood burning stove made it cosy at night. Would definitely stay here again!
