Lovely accommodation in a lovely village. Extremely clean with good equipment. Perfect for us but would not be suitable for any one who has difficulty with stairs.

This is a wonderful, quirky place for a couple. Clean and spacious with a spacious garden mixed between the graves! There is plenty to see and do in the area. Highly recommended

An excellent, imaginative conversion of part of the old Congregational chapel situated within the village. It was comfortable and well-equipped with an owner who could not have been more helpful.

It was a privilege to stay in such a place of history, peace and space. Having discovered several books of photos of old Nayland in the property, we grew so fascinated in it that we spent our days seeking out the exact places where the photographers had stood and learning about residents of the past. We then toasted some of those very residents on Read morethe sunny bench in the graveyard! Every part of the property is tasteful, calming and comfortable. and Maggie a delightful hostess. We could have eaten out but didn't, as we loved cooking and eating our meals in the peace of the chapel. The surrounding village and area is beautiful and it was a real difficulty to drive away on our last morning. Hide
