Reviews

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.

Mrs O,

Quirky Chapel conversion, which we loved. Very clean and comfortable. The owner was great and very helpful. There is lots to do in the area and the village itself is delightful.

Mr F,

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 the 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.

Mr B,

Wow, what an incredible place! The Old Chapel is absolutely stunning, and one of the finest and most sympathetic chapel conversions I’ve ever seen (and great that it's been kept in the family). I love the way much of the interior/original layout and features have been so carefully and lovingly preserved, while creating a luxurious and modern holiday apartment with all the creature comforts you’d expect. Everything is provided for your convenience, including a delicious welcome hamper with locally sourced goodies. The chapel and garden are a heavenly sanctuary, so peaceful. The owner is wonderfully welcoming. The only thing we think could be improved is to fit a separate lock to the internal door in order to secure privacy and keep the holiday let entirely separate from the owners apartment below - but other than that it was absolutely perfect! The village of Nayland is a beautiful ‘chocolate box’ village and a great base to explore from. All in all we had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend it. Thank you Maggie!

Mr H,

My husband and I had a lovely relaxing week at the chapel annexe! We had a very friendly welcome from Maggie on arrival! I had the best sleep ever! The bed is huge and extremely comfortable with lovely cotton bedding! The towels were so soft & fluffy! Everything you need for a week stay is provided for with a lovely welcome basket too! I loved relaxing on the chaise in the apse in the afternoons! The whole place is so peaceful! Was sad to leave! Would definitely return! There are so many pretty places to visit nearby & we didn’t manage to do everything we wanted!
