The Old Chapel

About this property

A charming historic property dating to 1816 and located in the outskirts of a traditional Dorset village of Sutton Poyntz, near Weymouth, is a delight for those wishing for a quiet holiday location.

Modern and stylish home still has some old features as chapel windows and flagstone flooring in the hallway, which makes the property stand out. It marries a unique exterior with internal standard that our guests are looking for.
