⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐We absolutely loved our stay at The Old Chapel and will 100% be coming back!It was such a brilliant location for getting out and exploring, but we also genuinely loved just spending time at the property. It had absolutely everything we could have needed and you could really tell that so much thought had gone into all the little details.One of the biggest things for us was the garden. Having somewhere completely secure meant Luna could just wander around, have a good sniff and explore while we could actually relax without constantly worrying about where she was going!The little gifts that had been left for us were such a lovely surprise as well. Completely unexpected, but such a thoughtful touch and something that made the stay feel that little bit more special.We did have one small issue with the bath, but we contacted the owner and they were on hand straight away to help us. You really couldn’t ask for more than that.We honestly had such a lovely time and I really can’t recommend The Old Chapel enough. It felt like everything had been thought of to make the stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.A massive thank you for having us. We’ll definitely be back! ❤️
