Going to the Chapel

We had a great stay two different weeks this summer. Our toddler grandson loved the spacious interior and exterior. Loved being able to have family with us for meals and all the room to sit down together.

WOW!!!

First view of the inside of this property really is a WOW factor, its spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is amazing and well stocked, with the added extra of a dishwasher. Beds were comfortable. Parking is out on the street so its a lucky dip to get parked, but wasnt to much of an issue. Would highly recommend.

Spot on Location

Spot on location for beautiful beaches and lovely cafes and restaurants serving breakfast, lunches, afternoon teas and dinner. Although there's no dedicated parking spaces, we didn't have any problem getting a space off road during the duration of our stay. Chapel is very spacious and plenty of sitting places/ rooms to chill. Definitely a destination if looking for sun and fun.

Amazing Group Venue

Great place and a great host! Any query was very quickly answered throughout the many date changes we had. We used this property for my bride and her bridal party to get ready with multiple suppliers. Plenty of room! Thank you so much!

Disappointing

I contacted Property owner two weeks before the holiday to ask if we could possibly arrange an earlier check in. After two days the owner contacted us to say she had made a mistake with the booking and she had double booked us! What if we hadn’t asked for a earlier check in would we have arrived at the property with someone in? She offered us to stay in her own home as she wasn’t there due to personal circumstances which we accepted given that it was two weeks before our holiday and we couldn’t find any alternative availability. She assured us it would be cleaned. However the property was DIRTY! The owner wiped crumbs off the oven in Front of us. There was no overflow in the bath meaning it was just a hole or plug meaning we all had to use the en-suite not ideal given we had our two teenagers with us. The fridge was dirty , the side of the cooker was covered in cob webs as was everywhere in the property. The utensils were dirty and had to be cleaned before use. The owner claims the property was deep cleaned it clearly was not and I have photos to back up my review.

Graves in sight, but our stay was certainly not grave.

This was a beautiful, spacious property with many interesting features. It's a converted church which holds reminders of its history..such as the engraved stones on the front of the building showing details of previous Ministers and a small metal plaque in the dining area which marks the spot where baptisms of a specific group of children took place. Don't think it's all about the past; the kitchen, lounge and dining areas are very well-equipped and provide a welcoming and social space. The owner is helpful, informative and excellent at messaging. Heating was efficient and hot water was plentiful.

Fab house for a long weekend

We stayed here over BH weekend - the property was lovely and clean and well equipped. A 15 min walk max to southbound beach, even less to the high street. We hopped on the train for a few quid and had a night out in Bournemouth. Would love to stay again!!
