Guests say
The Old Chapel is a stunning property with spacious, well-furnished rooms and ensuites, offering a cosy and comfortable stay for families. The picturesque location with Highland cows and local pubs adds charm, despite some concerns about a dangerous road junction. The property's kitchen and additional fridge are appreciated, and while some minor maintenance issues are noted, guests are overall very pleased and often recommend the property to friends.
Guests have found the property to be fairly clean but noted room for improvement, including cobwebs, dust, and marks in the bathrooms. The overall impression remains positive, with high-quality finishes mentioned.
The property's location is generally praised for its proximity to local attractions and scenic views. However, concerns about the safety of the road junction slightly impact the score.
The property is consistently described as comfortable, with quality furnishings and a warm, cosy atmosphere. The presence of ensuites in every bedroom enhances guest comfort.
Facilities are well-regarded, with a fully kitted kitchen and luxury fittings. Some guests mentioned slow-draining showers and a need for clearer bin instructions, indicating minor maintenance issues.
While guests have expressed a desire for a welcome pack, there is no consistent mention of gifts being provided or not, so it is not possible to accurately score thoughtfulness in this context.

The remaining three bedrooms downstairs from the living room, consist of two more king-size beds and a twin room, all with en-suite bathrooms and two doors to the outside.

The iconic Coniston Water is just 10 miles away, offering a great location for wild swimming, paddleboarding or kayaking for those water enthusiasts. Alternatively, within a short drive, you can enjoy the world-famous Windermere water offering Lakeside towns to explore with an excellent range of independent shops, restaurants, pubs, or attractions like The World of Beatrix Potter. Take a lake cruise or hire your motorboat to enjoy this vast expanse of water. Other local attractions include the Motor Museum, Lakes Aquarium, escape rooms, high ropes, and outdoor adventures, right through to horse racing or Michelin star restaurants.

This is our 3 rd stay at the chapel and we could see that they had made some changes , such as a new fire place which was lovely and kept the chapel warm , lovely furnishings ,very good for large families or friends gathering as each room has an en-suite. Boot room was great , and handy , and the pubs are within walking distance and do a fantastic Sunday lunch .

We spent a wonderful 2 weeks at the Old Chapel with our family. We were 5 adults and 2 dogs and the chapel was a great size and had the amenities we required. Despite the cold weather it was warm and cozy. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms very good. The kitchen space was excellent for cooking Xmas dinner and there was plenty of storage and fridge space. Would definitely recommend.
