The Chapel

About this property

Northwood 2.5 miles. The Chapel is a charming detached holiday home situated in the heart of Northwood, Isle of Wight. This pet-friendly retreat welcomes three furry friends, making it an ideal getaway for families or friends seeking a memorable escape. As you step inside, you will be greeted by the heart of the home, the kitchen/diner, where you can prepare delicious meals using the array of appliances at your disposal, before gathering at the dining table to enjoy your culinary creations. After dinner, retire to the sitting room, where you can unwind in front of the TV, or challenge your loved ones to a game of pool. On chillier evenings, the woodburning stove provides a warming glow that will keep you all nice and toasty! For those seeking a quiet moment, the snug offers a welcoming sofa bed, perfect for curling up with a good book. You have two options when it comes to the outdoors, first is a front courtyard where you can enjoy some al fresco dining while you enjoy the little pond and second is your private balcony which is a great spot for a roasted coffee while you enjoy the orange glow of the sunrise. Once it's time to rest you'll find two bedrooms which are split between the ground and first floor offering sleeping arrangements for all members of the family. Upstairs is a nice double room and on the ground floor is a spacious king-size room with an en-suite shower room for that added touch of privacy. Servicing both of these is a bathroom which is the perfect place for a hot soak before getting tucked in under the fresh linen. Experience the Isle of Wight like never before, starting off your journey with an exciting ride on the Red Funnel Ferries, directly from East Cowes. History enthusiasts can find enjoyment exploring the historic Carisbrooke Castle, an iconic fortress with a captivating history emanating from its centuries-old walls. Venture further to the National Trust's Newtown National Nature Reserve, a haven for varied bird and wildlife, ideal for a calming stroll or a spot of bird watching. For military and history aficionados, a visit to the insight-rich Wight Military and Heritage Museum is not to be missed. Other local attractions of note include the stately Northwood House & Park, a charming Grade II listed mansion set in acres of parkland perfect for picnics and lazy afternoon strolls. Just minutes away, you'll find the Victoria Recreation Ground, an excellent spot for enjoying a leisurely game of tennis or a relaxed walk under the sun. To finalise your exciting journey around the Isle of Wight, take time to savour the sights of Newtown's Old Town Hall, an intriguing bit of local history preserved by the National Trust. Return to the serene retreat that is The Chapel, an idyllic home from home where inviting nights in and unforgettable days out begin.

The small, scattered village of Northwood nestles between the pretty Shropshire market towns of Wem and Ellesmere, and consists of a handful of houses and an excellent pub with adjoining restaurant. Historic Wem, home of the infamous Jeffrey's “the hanging” Judge and renowned for its real ales and the modern Sweet Pea flower, has provided a central point for local trade since Saxon times and its weekly market still holds this tradition, attracting visitors from across the county. The beautiful town of Ellesmere, with its Medieval streets littered with Georgian and Victorian houses and quaint, half-timbered buildings, is situated just 6 miles away, amidst an area known as Shropshire's Lakeland, and offers an abundance of shops, pubs and fine restaurants. Take a boat trip across the magnificent glacial mere out onto the Llangollen Canal or enjoy a leisurely stroll through the picturesque Aboretum and Cremorne Gardens with its wonderful wildlife and scenic walks. Stokesay Castle, medieval Shrewsbury and Ludlow and the fascinating museums at Ironbridge are all within easy reach. A lovely location, with something for everyone.
