About this property

Williton 3 miles. Resting on the outskirts of Washford near Williton, Somerset is this charming chapel conversion, Saint Pacras Chapel. This 13th-century, stone chapel rests amidst stunning gardens on the edges of the Exmoor National Park, and enjoys original features throughout, including stained-glass windows and exposed beams, making for a wonderful base for a family of six's adventure in this part of Somerset. Off-road parking for up to four vehicles welcomes you on arrival, so you can park up and settle in with ease. Make your way through the original medieval door, before continuing to the sitting room, a space packed with character, thanks to its stained-glass windows and inglenook fireplace; grab a seat on one of the sofas and stretch out whilst the TV entertains you and the flames of the woodburning stove warm you. When you're feeling peckish, continue to the kitchen/diner, a space enjoying charming wooden cabinetry beholding a range of appliances, including an AGA range; the chef of the group can rustle up tasty dishes here, to be enjoyed at the dining table. Next door, another kitchen space can be found, with laundry facilities, an electric cooker and an extra fridge. Dinners can also be savoured in the delightful dining room, another space enjoying the warmth of a woodburning stove, whilst offering a table that doubles up as a pool table, ideal for post-dinner entertainment! At the end of the day, climb the stairs to find two of the three lovely bedrooms, a king-size and a double, both of which enjoy wooden furnishings and rest close to the family bathroom and a shower room. Another set of stairs from the ground floor take you to a well-presented twin room, ideal for the little ones or those after a little privacy! Make the most of the property's stunning gardens, where you can stroll along the stream and across the lawns, serve up grilled delights from the barbecue, to be enjoyed in the summer house, and even play a game of croquet! Washford, a fantastic village, rests nearby and offers access to two welcoming pubs, as well as the historic delight of Cleeve Abbey and the fascinating Tropiquaria Wildlife Park. Continue to Williton, another wonderful village, where the West Somerset Railway can be found, along with all your amenities in one handy setting; steam trains ply the route of the West Somerset Railway, making this property the ideal choice for railway enthusiasts! Travel to Watchet for an idyllic day on the coast, with the Watchet Boat Museum, access to Doniford Beach and Watchet Fish and Chips taking centre stage. Continue along the South West Coastal Path to find Minehead, or travel into Exmoor National Park to find a range of things to do, including birdwatching in the Dunkery & Horner Wood National Nature Reserve, and hiking along the Tall Trees Trail; alternatively, you can visit the Quantock Hills AONB for even more outdoor activities. Choose Saint Pancras Chapel for a unique stay in Somerset.

Williton is a flourishing village nestled on the western border of the Quantock Hills in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, barely two miles from Watchet on the west Somerset coast.

    We had difficulty with the heating briefly. Called Jane 10 minutes later she arrive and sorted the problem which were only user errors

    We arrived for our stay and the garden was very overgrown and paths very spillery. We entered the house and found it smaller than the pictures portrayed but cosy. We were informed on arrival that the wood burner in the dinning room could not be used due to a bees nest which was disappointing and has been there since the summer. Within a couple of days we started finding bees and wasps when the house was warm in the dinning room and on the table, in the kitchen and in the lounge, which i have to say was a little bit uncomfortable. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay but for the money we paid i think we should have been informed about the bees nest and also the few problems giving us an option to change our booking. We had an issue with the central heating which the key holder had to come and fix and made us aware that the owner new of the heating problem. If this property had a bit of an overall it would be lovely.
