A Beautiful Place to Stay
By Laura on 30-Aug-2026We have had the loveliest few days in the chapel, the weather has been miserable but it hasn't mattered as it's so cosy here! We have our 1 year old with us, and the facilities are just perfect - stair gate, high chair, children's cutlery - you have really thought of everything. It really is a beautiful place to stay, and it will always be special to us as we also got engaged here this weekend! We will 100% be coming back - a peaceful, homely and welcoming place to stay :). Thank you!
Absolute Haven of Peace and Tranquility
By M & S Graham on 15-Aug-2026The chapel is an absolute haven of peace and tranquility. It lived up to the website in every way, which isn’t always the case with holiday accommodation. We were impressed with so many things, but, to put it simply, the holiday was TOTALLY AWESOME!
Beautiful converted chapel
By Claire on 02-Nov-2025Beautiful converted chapel. It was cosy but spacious for a family of three. We did several walks from the chapel which were fabulous. As my six year old son said, the chapel was perfect.
Fantastic stay in this beautifully decorated chapel
By Sarah on 27-May-2026Fantastic stay in this beautifully decorated chapel. The chapel was immaculate and well equipped. Lovely peaceful location close to Ludlow, making it the perfect base to explore the local area. Excellent attention to detail and plenty of useful information provided.
Beautiful little Chapel in idyllic location.
By Helen on 21-Jun-2026Beautiful little Chapel in idyllic location. Layout excellent, kitchen diner and lounge area downstairs with full bathroom off the kitchen. Upstairs a double bedroom and twin in the eaves, we are average height and headroom was fine for us. Very peaceful spot to totally relax and unwind. Lots of walks available from the door, owners thoughtfully provided lots of local information incl OS maps. Also EV charger which was really useful. Very good Farm shop on outskirts of Ludlow which can recommend, (although expensive for basics.) Hosts generously left us some goodies from there which were very nice. No shops in village but we came in through Bridgnorth and theres a good bakery in the Upper town on the high street aswell as a Sainsburys.
