Victoria
absolutely loved my stay at the Chapel. I visited for a solo getaway from the city, and it was exactly the cosy, peaceful retreat I needed. Helen has decorated the space beautifully it feels incredibly welcoming and thoughtfully put together. The wood burner was a real highlight, and everything was exactly as described. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet, cosy place with plenty of opportunities to enjoy nature. Ill definitely be returning!
