The owners were really welcoming asking for room configuration requirements before arrival. The chapel itself was very homely and instantly felt comfortable. A few nice touches with family games and books available we would love to go back again for longer and would recommend to others really local to zip wires and cave trampolines

The only down side was there wasnât much garden space for our dogs, however the rest of the accommodation was very spacious and comfortable. Would recommend this accommodation especial for a family get together or a group of friends.
