Excellent property well found and lovely welcome pack. Hosts are very friendly and welcomong. Lots of walks in the area and plenty of restaurants nearby.
An absolute delight! Wonderful place, very luxurious, quirky and comfortable. Great hosts who made us feel very welcome.
This is an outstanding rental property, although its location might cause the casual browser to overlook it. That would be a huge mistake! The property is part of a small rural estate where all 3 properties are renovated to a high standard by a couple who are very well qualified to deliver an attractive, very comfortable and unusual holiday venue. The owners are on-site, friendly and very helpful. As for the location, well, one may not think of Bromsgrove as a tourist hotspot, but it is ideally placed to visit Birmingham, Worcester, Stratford upon Avon and the Welsh borders. The local rail station is a 20 minute walk / 3 minute drive, with regular services to Birmingham, Worcester and beyond. The nearby canal has a superb canalside pub / restaurant and the longest flight of locks in England. Don't miss the opportunity to enjoy the Chapel or one of its sister properties.
The photos don’t do The Chapel justice! If you like, flagstones, exposed brick and timber, wooden floors, antiques, interesting objects and unusual artefacts then this is for you! Despite the rustic appearance, The Chapel is incredibly cosy and warm. We loved the log burner and used it every day in January. Scented candles, soaps and room fragrances have been carefully selected to create a beautiful aroma too! The Chapel was very well equipped, including a very nice welcome hamper, and the handbook contained excellent recommendations for eating out. It is in a very peaceful setting with lovely views and a dedicated space to park your car right, privately, next to the property. Can’t fault anything!
The Chapel was a perfect place to stay. We loved the church/ funeral themed decor and the place was cosy and warm. There was also a lot to see and do in the area including Avoncroft Museum, a walk along the canal to the Queen’s Head pub or popping in to Birmingham to explore the city.
Absolutely stunning accommodation. Every you needed at hand. Fantastic welcome hamper. All in all an amazing week!
Very comfortable, quirky and characterful property in a lovely quiet location. Excellent hosts. Numerous good eating places nearby.
As soon as Vicky and Stuart welcomed us to The Chapel cottage, they made us feel like family. It was fabulous and quirky, with a capital Q. The ambience captured in the cottage was sumptuous and relaxing and the wood burner made it very cosy. It was fun spotting all the different things on the walls, (faces, wall hangings, etc). The bathroom was particularly novel and the roll top bath was a treat. The garden areas were a pleasure to sit in and the hot tub kept us amused most evenings. We had an amazing time at The Chapel. It was in a lovely quiet location, but only a few minutes from all the amenities you could need. Walking along the canal tow path was a real pleasure and calling at the pubs along the way made it a real treat. The Ewe and Lamb serves fabulous food and has a great selection of beers and gins, as does The Queens Head. Thank you Vicky and Stuart for a fabulous holiday at The Chapel and all your hard work.
Perfect property for our memorable occasion and Vicki & Stuart were so attentive & hardworking in helping with this. Didn't use the car during our stay , turn left at the bottom of the drive a 20min walk into Aston Fields and you'll find an eclectic mix of bars & restaurants . Turn right and you'll come to the top of the Tardebigge flight of locks, a nice walk down the locks & canal to the Queen's Head pub & restaurant. First class.
Everything was perfect, such a quirky place and excellent hosts, already recommended to family and friends, can't wait to return!!
I cannot rate this property highly enough, a stunning place to stay that has been beautifully retored by the hosts. The welcome hamper was excellent, the property equippped with everything you could need and the hosts are charming and extremely helpful
Fabulous place, perfect atmospheric getaway. Highly recommend!
Location 👍. Accommodation 👍.Owners👍. Area👍.Will be back with friends.
This place is truly fabulous, the attention to detail is outstanding, my partner and i spent a week in the chapel for my 40th birthday and what a special birthday it was. Stuart and Vicki were exceptional hosts and the welcome hamper was amazing. We have stayed in some beautiful quirky properties previously but this place without doubt is the best so far. we can not wait to return.
Unique and quirky. Peaceful, close to lovely walks and canals. Hosts were great, sending details of places to eat which saved us time doing our own research. Sherry Barrel hot tub, log fire. Well equiped kitchen. I would highly recommend this accommodation.
Loved the architecture and quirky features. Very clean. Very convenient for walk to the canal and super canal side pub. Great hosts. Lovely hamper.
The Chapel didn’t disappoint us it was much better than the photos. The added bonus of the hamper with little extras was very appreciated. The Chapel was spotless and very well equipped and Stuart and Vicky were lovely hosts and kept us updated all the time. The surroundings were exceptional and the quiet evenings in The Nook were delightful.
Very well found accommodation in a lovely quiet area. If you like quirky this is a must such attention to detail.The hosts were very helpful and friendly with advice on places to visit and restaurants.
