    Absolutely gorgeous accomodation, the church has been beautiful converted. The location is so quiet and peaceful. Absolutely loved our stay here, would highly recommend.

  • Simon Scott

    We stayed for 4 nights in October and used St Peters as a base for a walking holiday.The church has been beautifully converted into a holiday cottage with modern kitchen and facilities whilst retaining the charm of the original building. The church is in a very quiet location with very large grounds. As it was the middle of October we did not get a chance to really enjoy this but in warmer weather the garden would be an amazing place to relax and unwind.Overall a highly enjoyable stay.
