Great location and a really lovely place to stay. The Chapel is comfortable, clean and well equipped, with sea views from the upstairs sitting room and bedroom. Walking routes from the house in both directions along the coast and Rinsey beach is beautiful. Thank you for the fresh flowers and goodies.

An attractive, quiet, and relaxing accommodation with very thoughtful attention to the comforts of guests. The outdoor space is lovely, well-kept and only a short walk to the cliffs overlooking the ocean and the Coastal Walk. Excellent value for the money paid. We would happily return again.

The accommodation is a conversion of an old chapel. The layout works very well for a holiday let, with the kitchen and dining areas downstairs, and the remainder of the accommodation, including the lounge, on the first floor with good views. The accommodation was well equipped and sensibly furnished.

Despite the terrible weather, we enjoyed our week at no.1 The Chapel. The property is well appointed. The only thing we had to move was the sofa. As it was sideways on to the TV, a stiff neck would have resulted from leaving it in that position. We moved it so that we were facing it straight ahead. Had the weather been less inclement, it may not Read morehave been an issue! Hide
