Just returned from a 4 night stay at The old Chapel. It is set in a quiet village, the location is ideal for exploring the coastline.Very dog friendly. The chapel is quirky, warm and clean and had everything we needed for our stay. No shops within walking distance but plenty of shops in nearby Filey. We walked from the village to the coast, it is quite steep at times. However, the beautiful quiet beaches are worth it. Would definitely recommend

We have had a lovely stay at The Old Chapel. Lovely and warm . All utensils in the drawers that we needed. Did suggest a ninja to the host as this would save on his electric bills. The area is so quiet and hardly any light pollution at night so plenty of stars to see in the sky. Lovely walk past the church to Filey cliffs too. Would definitely stay again.
