  • Beautiful converted gothic chapel adorned with art and colour
  • Situated in Glasbury, a vibrant village near Hay-on-Wye 
  • Enjoy private yoga classes and the National Park for walking, cycling, wild swimming and kayaking on your doorstep
Property code: 80464

Set within the heart of a vibrant village green within walking distance of the River Wye, offering spacious accommodation finished with an eclectic twist creating the perfect retreat for family and friends.

This unique property, on the village green in Glasbury, sleeps eight guests and your dog. Enjoy gentle strolls along the river, or a spot of wild-water swimming at The Bont, before tucking into a hearty meal at the incredibly dog-friendly pub. Walking opportunities in the area are endless, with the rolling hills of The Begwns just 8 miles away and the northern fringe of the Brecon Beacons National Park only 4 miles from the property.

This wonderful gothic chapel, which was an active place of worship until the late 90s, is packed with quirky original features, contrasting prints and bright colours, creating a truly magnificent living space. It has been lovingly transformed into a stylish home and gallery, with a rotation of artwork twice a year. High ceilings and an open-plan layout make the property feel wonderfully spacious, with numerous little nooks and crannies where the hound can set up camp. On a summer’s evening, dine alfresco in the chapel gardens, overlooking the village green. This is a great place for the pup to stretch their legs in the morning when you emerge after a peaceful night’s sleep in one of the characterful bedrooms.

Head to Painscastle, 8 miles away, where you and the pup can enjoy a sedate amble through The Begwns. The 2-mile loop takes you to The Roundabout, where you can admire far-reaching views across the entire Brecon Beacons. If you fancy something to get the heart pumping, why not take on the challenge of Sugar Loaf Mountain (20 miles away)? The iconic peak dominates the skyline of the Black Mountains and offers breathtaking views across South Wales. Let Rover lead the way on the rugged path that criss-crosses to the summit, as buzzards and red kites soar high overhead.

We had a perfect stay at the Chapel for our friends hen weekend. The lovely pictures do not do this place justice - Graham and Matthew have a created a beautiful space, marrying the traditional charm of the chapel with their boho style beautifully.

The house was as we expected and perfect for our needs. We had a lovely time and the hosts were really helpful and friendly. My only recommendation would be a note on the boiling tap in the kitchen. A couple of my party thought it was just the hot tap and scalded their fingers. Other than that it is a superb, quirky, comfortable and fun place. The Read morelocal pub does excellent food as well!

The chapel was a really interesting building and we felt at home immediately. We loved all the artwork and books. The beds were comfortable and the space was perfect for eight adults and our dog. We would definitely stay here again, we still have so much of the region to explore and this was the perfect base for a walking holiday.

Fabulous chapel conversion with 'quirky' display of art collections. Spacious but cosy and very well-equipped. Excellent for a larger group of family and friends, in an excellent position both for Brecon Beacons National Park, River Wye and local services, with a great pub round the corner.

Stunning accommodation, the Chapel was everything that we could have wished for, welcome basket on arrival, the size of the place was enormous, plenty of room for our family holiday and the chapel felt very homely everything we could have wanted.
