The Olde Chapel School House Reviews

Alex

The cottage was charmingand we appreciated the thoughtful touches like the games and the lovely hamper upon arrival. However, the nearby road was quite noisy, which was a bit of a bother. Also, it wasn't as clean as we'd hopedand no wifi during our stay was a let down. Still, a nice place overall!

Alex Carter

The old chapel is truly beautiful and our 12 and 14 year olds absolutely loved the hot tub! The welcome pack was a lovely touch and really appreciated after a long drive. The Internet was a bit patchy at times but wasn't a huge problem since we were mainly there to explore the area. The only minor issue was that despite the warm weather, the chapel got quite cold first thing in the morning and late at nightand the heating controls are operated from the owner's adjoining property. Still, overall we had a great stay and would definitely come back!

James

Everything we could have wanted and more! It's a fabulous place, really peaceful. We spent our evenings in the hot tub just relaxing. We would definetely come back. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Emma

What a fantastic place to stay! We would definitely stay again, it was just great.

James Carter

The Chapel is a stunning home, it really welcomed us and felt like a warm hug during our stay. The fields behind the property were ideal for walking our one-year-old jack russelland we all had a great time unwinding in the jacuzzi after a long day exploring Dorset. Our whole family highly recommends it!

Oliver

What a fantastic and cool lounge and dining area, perfect for the heat wave! The sunlight streaming through the stained glass windows is just sublime. The kitchen is small but wonderfully equipped, with such lovely little welcome touches. It's a brilliant base to explore the attractions in Dorset and Somerset. Plus, there's a local pub within walking distance, which you can reach through fields and a country lane. The owners are super helpful too! Highly recommended.

Susan
