About this property
Tucked away in the attractive South Wiltshire village of Whiteparish is this former Wesleyan chapel, which dates back to 1859 and is now a beautifully converted holiday cottage. The light and airy interior of this detached Whiteparish holiday cottage offers families or groups of friends a very different, yet comfortable holiday experience. The spacious open plan living area containing a kitchen, dining area and sitting area of this Whiteparish holiday cottage was created from the 1903 memorial school, retaining its wooden floors and row of children's coat pegs, whilst the body of the chapel features the original pulpit and combines not only a further sitting area but also offers a full size snooker table, table tennis, table football, keyboard and piano!
A great social space for all the family to enjoy! Outside, there is a small rear patio area. Conveniently situated, this Whiteparish cottage is just a short stroll from the well-stocked local shop, Post Office and friendly village pub, ideal for taking refreshment after your busy day exploring. This Whiteparish holiday cottage benefits from good local transport links, which take you to many places of interest; visit Lord Mountbatten's Broadlands estate, admire Mottisfont Abbey, Salisbury and Winchester cathedrals or Stonehenge. Explore the picturesque New Forest National Park, whilst the younger members of your group will enjoy Paultons Family Theme Park or The Rapids in Romsey.
This Whiteparish chapel offers visitors a most unusual holiday destination to be enjoyed whatever the weather!
Whiteparish is a charming village which is situated on the Wiltshire side of the Wiltshire/Hampshire border. The village can be reached by a short drive south from the city of Salisbury and north from the pretty Hampshire town of Romsey, which is well-known for the 'Broadlands' house.

Seger
An old church repurposed as holiday home with a snooker table (!) and lots of couches. Favorite with the children. Bedrooms are upstairs, built into the main church area, a very spacious kitchen, amenities and separate shower and bathroom. Check-in and out were easy and the owner extremely friendly and helpful. If you are looking for a cottage that may not be as polished as some holiday homes but has a lot of character (as well as all facilities) this is a great option. Also for larger families.

Beaulieu National Motor Museum, Mottisfont and the New Forest national park only a short drive away. Enjoyed a few frames of snooker, although my game didn't improve to professional level in the weeks stay! Thanks Roger :-)

Bedrooms ok but another bathroom would have made our stay better. Lovely and unusual accommodation!
