This bolthole is dotted with original features and contemporary style and you can warm toes and paws on the underfloor heating throughout. Welcomed by the double-height entrance, sit by the coal effect gas fire or play the pianola before descending a step to the kitchen/diner. This sleek space has all you need to cook up tasty tit bits and has a washer/dryer which is great for keeping clothes clean post adventure. Plate up at one of two tables before climbing the bespoke spiral staircase to the mezzanine with Smart TV, pool table and relaxing sofas, sitting beneath a vaulted ceiling and with pretty views. Take a drink out onto the courtyard and the enclosed garden where your pup can chase their tail and you can fire up the BBQ on warm evenings. The pair of inviting bedrooms reside on the ground floor and both have Smart TVs for lazy mornings. There is off-road parking for one car and more available at the local tennis club for a small fee.

Gorgeous place, extremely well equipped. Comfortable and very quiet. Within driving distance of some lovely places including ellesmere, Oswestry, Llangollen and Shrewsbury. Very comfy beds too! Our teenage son loved the piano and pool table! The dog also enjoyed his stay!

The Chapel came very well equipped and was easy to get settled in and live with during our holiday week. The weather was reasonable although Autumn temperatures were happening, yet the Chapel felt warm and comforteable, great choice of TV's [4 off] so viewing specific channels depending on personal choices caused no family grievances. We found the Read moreChapels location ideal for our holiday plans to visit National Trust properties and we managed one every day of our stay. In summary a great holiday. Hide

Excellent high tech property with everything you can think of and more. Ideal for families with teens or just parents that like tech but also nice original features in the old chapel. Ideally placed for exploring local walks with many National Trust properties and woodland walks less than half an hour away in this country and Wales! Lovely, friendlRead morey village just 6mins drive away from The Mere. Tranquil, relaxing property with no expense spared on the renovations. We will definitely be back. Hide
