Guests say
The Old Chapel in Filey is a beautifully restored property, praised for its cleanliness, peacefulness, and ideal location for coastal walks and exploring nearby towns. Guests appreciate the attentive host and the unique charm of staying in a converted chapel with a well-kept garden and original features.
The majority of guests found The Old Chapel to be clean and welcoming. One review mentioned the property was 'very clean' which suggests high standards of cleanliness, although there was a single mention of some minor cleanliness issues in the kitchen.
The location is highly praised for being peaceful and handy for the coastline, with easy access to Bempton, Flamborough, and nearby towns. Its proximity to scenic walks and the beach adds to its appeal.
Guests generally found The Old Chapel comfortable, mentioning 'very comfortable beds' and a 'cosy' atmosphere. However, there were some concerns about the shower pressure and temperature fluctuations, which suggests room for improvement in this area.
The property is well-equipped, especially the kitchen, and guests enjoyed features like the spa bath and DVD collection. However, there were comments about the shower, spa bath function, and lack of instructions for some facilities, indicating that some aspects require attention or updating.
The host's attentiveness and the provision of a welcome pack are appreciated, reflecting thoughtfulness. However, as gifts are not consistently mentioned and their provision cannot be guaranteed, this score reflects the positive mentions without setting an expectation of gifts for future guests.

Cottage has been beautifully changed to a cottage. However, is showing signs of age. First impressions not too good. The key safe needs oiling and grubby. Outer and inner doors peeling and need restaining. Paintwork in porch peeling and dirty. Shower has no power and temperature keeps changing. Only used once then used bath which had no instructions how to use the jacuzzi part. In fact no instructions for any of the equipment in the cottage. In kitchen lacking so much small equipment which would only cost £50/60 to buy but would make preparing a meal easier No small veg/fruit knife, just a carving knife, no balloon whisk just an ancient egg whisk, no oven glove, only 2 pieces of paper on kitchen towel, sugar container was sticky and obviously not been washed for a long time, just 2 egg cups though cottage for 4 people, washing line supplied but only 4 pegs. 1 casserole dish but 3 lids. Old and very shabby table mats. Cushions on settees so thin hardly worth calling cushions. All the towels were very hard obviously no fabric conditioner used and very thin. Need replacing with soft, fluffy bath SHEETS not the smaller bath towels. I was also concerned that there was no file in the cottage with a list of useful phone numbers of doctors, A&E, dentist, owner. Plus details of local amenities, shops, pubs, local walks.

Second time staying here and what a lovely weekend. Neil the owner is so attentive. About a 15 minute drive to the coast. The chapel so peaceful and clean would definitely come back again 😊
