The Old Chapel And Spa Reviews

Claire
The Old Chapel was a truly luxurious property, we really couldn't believe that we had found such a gem. Great location for exploring the local area, including delightful walks into Whitby. Fabulous local pub and butchery, which sells so much more.
Nicholas
An attractive, quirky property, which was comfortable and well-equipped. It's based in a lovely, quiet village setting. Access to surrounding areas is good, and there is a small railway station a short walk down the road. Vehicle access to the property is via a narrow, rough, unsurfaced lane and the entrance to the property itself is tight. We managed to squeeze our vehicle through the relatively narrow gates, with great care. Inside, the property has a spiral staircase serving all floors - bear this in mind if anyone in your party has mobility issues, or small children. There are some charming historical aspects about the property, which we enjoyed. Spa good, too. There is a good butcher's at the end of the lane, which always seems busy. We can certainly recommend them. Weather was very good and we enjoyed our stay.
Jennie
Well equipped, comfy a beautiful house recommend
Graham
A return visit of ours to this beautiful chapel restoration. Unfortunately the holiday was spoilt by first the jaccuzi bath issues. This was exacerbated by the engineer who came to inspect the bath leaving the Spa floor flooded. Holiday cottages weâ??re great in helping out where they could but they could not solve the bigger issues I could only recommend this cottage if the owner performs the necessary maintenance.
Diarmuid
The Old Chapel is a stunning property in a beautiful location. All of the bedrooms are fantastic especially the master bedroom with en-suite. There were 7 of us staying and the property had everything we needed. Parking was the only issue for bigger cars, so if there is somewhere nearby thatâ??s safe to park overnight, that would be helpful. The walk into Whitby was easy from the Chapel and there was plenty of places to eat or drink, but if you want to stay local we had a great evening at The Bridge Inn. We would all highly recommend staying at The Old Chapel, you wonâ??t be disappointed.
Claire
Absolutely stunning Cannot fault the old chapel The pics donâ??t do it justice Itâ??s just perfect See you again soon
Deborah
Absolutely beautiful house. Thought of everything you would need. Very spacious, enough room not to be on top of one another.
Andrea
Amazing place. Beds super comfy. The additions of Prosecco, biscuits, coffee pods were an added bonus. Wonderful stay would recommend
Christine
A stunning property, so clean and well equipped. The cleaner deserves 6*. Beautiful white towels, linen and very comfortable beds. The spa area is a plus and was lovely to relax in at the end of the day. The entrance to the chapel is up a very steep slope and through a narrow gateway and one of our vehicles could not get through it. The property is quirky with a beautiful working organ - if you are musical take some music with you! Ruswarp is close to Whitby and it is a really nice walk of about a mile from the side of the property.
Eileen
Plenty of room both inside and outside. We had 3 children (13, 8 & 6) and they loved running round the very secure grounds.
Abbey
Overall the cottage was beautiful. It was in a beautiful setting and we loved staying there.
Charlotte
Great location - lovely 30 minute walk into Whitby. Ruswarp is lovely too. Property is fab - very comfy beds, great, spacious social area. Spa area is a real bonus and makes property stand out from others. Would highly recommend
Christine
Lovely property. Spa facilities brilliant. We had a nice girly weekend. Only a short walk into Whitby. Would recommend.
Julie
Beautiful accommodation - extremely well furnished and lovely welcome pack. Spa facilities are excellent. Parking is difficult with a large car that wouldnâ??t fit through the gate.
Helen
The Old Chapel was a fantastic property to stay in for a half term break with the family and grandparents! The property was spotlessly clean, and each bedroom was super comfy! The kitchen and living spaces meant there was plenty of room for everyone to relax and read or watch TV! The spa was the added bonus, and afforded some lovely relaxation after each day of exploring the local area.
Denise
