The host were lovely.
The host were lovely. The house was beautiful, comfortable and very welcoming. The only thing I can say is to be careful when getting closer to the house as the sun was setting so it was just to bright , so had to pause going up a small incline to get used to it.
Home was warm & clean on arrival with small welcome beverage gift & wood for fire.
I have taken one star off cleanliness as one bedroom smelt of sick/ stale milk although we could see they had tried cleaning smell away & had left windows & de humidifiers on in that room.
Beds were comfortable & plenty of seating options to accommodate our family of 8 comfortably & parking for 3 cars. The area is close to walks with our dogs & grandchildren enjoyed watching sheep in field behind house too.

We stayed at Chapel House over Christmas and cannot recommend this house enough.
We stayed at Chapel House over Christmas and cannot recommend this house enough. The house is immaculate and very spacious and has all you need! There is enough shops nearby for essentials and it’s in a good location.
The house was perfect for our family of 10. Spotlessly clean and everything you could possibly need for us. They left us a lovely welcome box which is much appreciated. The log burner in living room was wonderful to come in from the cold weather outside.
