This characterful and cosy chapel is located in the little village of Goodleigh. It’s surrounded by the stunning North Devon countryside, only 8 miles from Exmoor National Park with its woodland walks and pretty little villages, including Lynton and Lynmouth. Take a trip on the longest water-powered funicular railway which connects the two villages, and enjoy a stroll around the local craft shops, tea rooms and pubs. Visit the market town of Barnstaple, only 1 mile away, which offers a plethora of shops and cafes, including Butchers Row and a pannier market. Enjoy a show at the theatre with shows throughout the year. Other places of interest to visit include the pretty seaside village of Instow (9 miles) with its golden beach where you can hop on the pedestrian ferry across to the beautiful fishing village of Appledore and explore the cobbled lanes, craft shops and galleries.

Stepping inside this converted chapel, you will soon notice the stunning blend of original and contemporary features with the added luxury of underfloor heating. You will initially come through the hallway into the open plan lounge/dining room and kitchen. With its vaulted ceilings and stunning wood burner this room really oozes style. Relax on the comfy sofas, snuggle up in front of the wood burner and watch a favourite movie. Enjoy whipping up a romantic meal in the stylish kitchen and a candlelit dinner at the dining table. Walking back through the hallway is a single bedroom with a TV and a sumptuous shower room with WC. Take the stairs up to the quirky king-size bedroom, where light floods in through the unique windows.

In 50 years of travelling to the WestCountry this is the best accommodation we have had. The chapel is beautifully converted and very well equipped. It was comfortable, homely and a real pleasure to stay in. We will be back.

A very well equiped and high standard property. There is a challenge of no parking and as no windows was up to 32 degrees in the bedroom in the hot weather.

Whenever we looked out of the door it was either very windy, rainy, drizzly or overcast - our first bad weather holiday week for many years. The Old Chapel is a very comfortable hideaway with plenty of kitchen equipment. We cooked "at home" every evening and enjoyed the wine from the Venn Valley Vineyard in nearby Landkey. There is also a Farm ShopRead more selling local produce and a nice restaurant / bar. Very hilly country surrounds the cottage for us Essex people and some busy roads adjoining footpaths locally. Our dog, Benji, enjoyed all his adventures - loves travelling in the car and walkies particularly to the coast. We are National Trust members so recommend Woolacombe beach and Baggy Point (Croyde Bay) for the dog. We also visited Arlington Court (NT) and Rosemoor (RHS) - the latter trialling dog visitors.

The Little Chapel was marvellous. Beautiful conversion, tastefully done, comfortable and exceptionally clean. In a great location in a small, friendly village with an excellent restaurant 4 doors down. There are no opening windows, so if you are a person who must sleep with a window open, then its not for you - happily I like to be warm so it was pRead moreerfect. There is fresh air pumped through the property. Hide

Property has no opening windows and at was very warm, but fans were provided in every room. No available parking at the property, so park at the school/church up a steep hill opposite. Would be an issue if raining. Overall the property was beautiful with lots of character. Lovely modern well equipped kitchen and bathroom.

The Little Chapel has been amazingly restored to a beautiful standard, fully equipped with everything you need, and warm and cosy. Fizz and chocolates on arrival were a thoughtful touch. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay exploring the surrounding areas. There are no amenities in the village so be prepared.
