Set within the stunning New Forest National Park in a quiet rural village, this property is full of character and charm. A converted Methodist Chapel, it sleeps four in mezzanine bedrooms, with space for your two canine friends to join the holiday fun. Its setting is the ideal spot for a family escape to the countryside, with an abundance of walking and cycling routes virtually on the doorstep.

Step inside the front door to a striking open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. It’s a fantastic social space with amazing vaulted windows that let natural light flood in, and it is warmed by underfloor heating to keep you toasty year-round. Unwind on the comfortable sofa in the lounge area for a family film night, before retiring up one of the two individual staircases to the open mezzanine style bedrooms, which both overlook the lounge and benefit from privacy screens. Come morning, savour your first coffee al fresco in the inviting patio, which also has a BBQ for those warm summer evenings. Access the pretty patio via a handy utility space, which is ideal for discarding your muddy welly boots and washing off sandy paws.

The New Forest is famed for its picturesque landscape, so lace up your walking boots and explore on foot or paws. Discover ancient woodland and beautiful heathland, and meet the local free-roaming ponies, cattle and deer. The striking south coast is also within easy reach, with the sandy beaches at Bournemouth (20.5 miles), Mudeford (19 miles) and Highcliffe (20.5 miles) popular destinations for a day out by the sea.

The Old Chapel was clean, warm and comfortable. Jenny was welcoming and friendly. The village pub is great and the food is good. The location is ideal for walking directly out into the countryside or the forest and leaving the car behind.

The converted chapel was very attractive and in a lovely village. As an open plan arrangement (including the 2 bedrooms), it wasn't a very usable space unless you were doing exactly the same thing at the same time, such as watching TV, sleeping, cooking etc. The hot water wasn't working from Tuesday to Friday but the owner sorted it very promptly oRead morence informed. There was a power cut when there (not the owners fault, of course) but it meant having to eat bread and lettuce in the pitch dark! Hide

I would not hesitate in recommending the Old Chapel for a quiet getaway. It's very easy to find and everything you need is available within walking distance or a short drive. There is a local shop and the Horse and Groom pub is 5 minutes walk away and serves excellent food. We took our dog and enjoyed some really nice walks through the local forestRead mores. The Old Chapel is clean and warm and has everything you need to enjoy your stay. We definitely plan on returning! Hide

A lovely warm and cosy space in a sympathetically converted chapel. The village is very friendly, with ponies, donkeys and cattle wandering around and theres a local pub that is dog friendly. Location is within easy reach of many places to visit in The New Forest.

A simply beautiful converted chapel, which is warm and welcoming. Fantastic separate power shower and full bath, and a really useful utility room for those who have dogs or wellies. Brilliant location and the village of Woodgreen is so friendly, from the local pub, to the community shop, as well as the wildlife (ponies, cows and donkies)

We really enjoyed our stay at The Chapel and Jennifer was very friendly. Inside is very dog friendly, but there is no secure area outside.

The location is wonderful and the chapel conversion is lovely. The host is a lovely person who made us feel welcome which was very much appreciated. Take your wellies as the New Forest is magnificent but very muddy in places and its lovely to squelch and roam unfettered by such things as the wrong footwear.
