The Chapel was clean, comfortable & in a lovely location, we had a very warm welcome from the owner & a very nice welcome pack on arrival. Good walks from the Chapel, lovely places to visit nearby, Barnard Castle had a good range of shops for all our needs, Bowes museum is well worth a visit. Had a brilliant peaceful week at The Chapel.
