About this property

A charming Grade II listed former Chapel in a tucked away peaceful location

Luxuriously appointed the Old Chapel provides a comfortable and tranquil base from which to explore the delights of Somerset and Wiltshire. With the charming town of Bradford-on-Avon on your doorstep and the Georgian city of Bath close by as well as Longleat, Stonehenge, Castle Combe and many more great attractions you won't be short of things to do. Equipped to a high standard with pocket sprung mattresses, crisp cotton sheets and fluffy towels the Old Chapel provides a great base from which to explore.

The Chapel is situated on the Bath side of Bradford-on-Avon in a tucked away location. It is a lovely quiet spot in an historic row of stone cottages. Parking (which is unrestricted) is on a nearby minor road and although there is a narrow road in front of the Chapel it is not advisable to drive down it as it is very easy to get stuck! It is only a 50m walk from the parking to the front door. You can easily walk to the town centre which is approximately a 15 minute walk, downhill. Please be aware that it is a steep walk back up the hill. Alternatively you could take a bus or taxi. There are a couple of pubs 5-10 minutes walk away, without having to walk down into town. The Castle also serves breakfast. There is an excellent Co-Op supermarket 5 minutes walk away which is open everyday from 6am to 10pm.
On the ground floor is the kitchen/diner and living room. The kitchen is well equipped; from kitchen scales and sharp knives to garlic crushers and hand mixer. There is an induction hob, electric fan assisted oven, cooker hood, fridge freezer, dishwasher, washer/dryer, small microwave and coffee machine.
The sitting room, has a TV, DVD player, comfortable sofa and armchair and is perfect for relaxing in the evening in front of the gas effect fire. There is a cupboard containing a few board games, children's toys, DVD's and novels. The first floor has a shower room with toilet, basin and shower and a bedroom with kingsize bed, floor length curtains and black out curtains. . On the second floor there are two single (3ft) beds which can be made into a superking. There are black-out blinds on the velux windows and reading lights next to the bed. The bed linen is all high quality cotton. The bath and hand towels are all thick, white and fluffy. The house is gas centrally heated.
I like my guests to feel completely at home, and so the cupboards are stocked with basics such as tea, coffee, sugar, olive oil for cooking. I also supply milk and one or two bits and pieces for the beginning of each stay.

About the host

Host profile image
I was born in Bradford-on-Avon and have lived here all my life. I now have the opportunity to share this great place with others and my aim is to provide high quality accommodation in a peaceful and tranquil location.

Why they chose this property

The Old Chapel combines period charm with modern convenience in a really lovely location. It is located in a car free road ensuring total peace and quiet and a short walk from the centre of Bradford-on-Avon. The chapel is Grade II listed and built of the local stone with attractive arched 'ecclesiastical style' windows and exposed beams in the second bedroom. It benefits from facing south and enjoys sunshine throughout the day.

What makes this property unique

This recent review from one of my guests I think sums up the Old Chapel perfectly!

Date of Stay
9 Nov 2018

We had one of our best ever stays - the property is exactly as shown in the photographs, immaculately clean everywhere and full of charm. The fresh flowers and hamper on arrival was a lovely touch along with fresh bread and milk/butter in the fridge. The kitchen is very well equipped with plenty of new pans, cutlery, mugs, glasses, knife set, spices, serving bowls and more. The beds were extremely comfortable with fresh towels and little shampoos/conditioners provided. The parking is not an issue because you can park for free on the main road (only a residential quiet road) and there were always spaces. The property is down a pathway just 1 minute walk away. You can walk into town very easily, just follow a straight path for about 10mins. There is also a small Coop nearby for groceries which was handy. We had such a peaceful stay and would not hesitate to return again. Thank you!
