“The cottage was compact, but clean, comfortable and warm.”

It was ideal for our purposes, being less than 15 minutes from the centre of Dorchester or Weymouth and well located for travel to Bournemouth. There were also several pubs and convenience stores within easy walking distance.

“Cottage really comfortable in a really lovely quiet location.”

“A good week was had, the cottage is in a good location for visiting the surrounding areas.”

Cottage was clean to a good standard and everything you needed for your stay. The only downside was that on a couple of occasions we could not park outside cottage due to someone else parking in front of the cottage, on the second occasion the owner of number 17 Sutton Road ( Michelle ) left the note on are windscreen. We were unable to read due to the rain, but imagine the note to be not a nice one. Both yourself and the owners should be aware of this in case this becomes a bigger issue.

“Enjoyed a wonderful sunny week in The Chapel.”

Key safe a bit tricky to get into at first and on leaving but we managed. Parking needs to be right up to the wall on the road as heavy vehicles do pass. Lovely accommodation throughout views upstairs from velux windows. Village a walk downhill Sutton Poyntz....pub has good food by duck pond very pretty. Spar and Co op on main road. A great base for exploring area.

“First no off road parking.”

Access to the chapel is not for physically impaired people. The bathroom / shower room is for extra slim people with a extremely high step in or out. We had a lovely time in Dorset remembering visits in the past, and showing our Australian relatives around. They also had problems with the chapel. It is a shame the the property did not do what what it said on the tin.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts following your stay at The Old Chapel. I'm pleased to hear you had an enjoyable holiday with your family in Dorset. I do note that we advise parking at The Old Chapel is on road only. In addition, we do advise that there are some access restrictions for the less able. However, we will certainly take your comments on board and pass them to the property owner for their consideration. Kind Regards, The Customer Relations Team Sykes owner relations

“The property is fantastic and is perfectly located in an adorable village just outside Weymouth.”

If you like walking, then this is the property for you. Plenty of coastal walks and footpaths to explore. The conversion of the chapel has been done very well and it's a very comfortable cottage. Stayed May 2018

“We have been staying in Sutton Poyntz twice a year for 30 years.”

Lots of different cottages have been tested. This is by far one of the best, clean, functional and beautifully decorated and furnished. Hope to be back again! Thank you. Stayed March 2017

“We loved the cottage.”

It was very well presented and in a lovely location. The front garden was a very nice place to relax in the evenings with a glass of wine

The property

A charming historic property dating to 1816 and located in the outskirts of a traditional Dorset village of Sutton Poyntz, near Weymouth, is a delight for those wishing for a quiet holiday location. Modern and stylish home still has some old features as chapel windows and flagstone flooring in the hallway, which makes the property stand out.

It marries a unique exterior with internal standard that our guests are looking for.

Wood-burning stove in an exposed brick fireplace alongside a range cooker and exposed beams you may think you travelled back in time if not the modern equipment surrounding you. Two bedrooms in the property have the most comfortable beds for a good night’s sleep after an exploration of the area. The guests with children will enjoy a visit to The Springhead pub with lovely outside seating and a good food coupled with family atmosphere and a nearby duck pond will melt little one’s hearts for sure. A local shop is a few minutes from the property, so you don’t need to worry about most necessary supplies.

The town centre of Weymouth is a few minutes’ drive from the property with a variety of shops and supermarkets to choose from. Sutton Poyntz is surrounded by a wonderful rolling Dorset countryside and coastal walks.

You may want to venture East and visit the popular attractions of Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove, or drive inland and visit a county town of Dorchester.

The fossil enthusiasts paradise Charmouth and Lyme Regis are a short drive away too. The Old Chapel is a beautiful property in a small village and will suit those wanting a quieter holiday still close to beaches and countryside.

In the garden there is an outside seating area with an outside log burner if you would like to use this.

SUTTON POYNTZ

Weymouth 3.7 miles; Dorchester 5.4 miles

Sutton Poyntz is a small village on the northern side of Preston, on the outskirts of Weymouth, and it sits beneath the George III chalk horse that is carved into the hillside. At the centre of the village sits a beautiful duck pond, and the Springhead pub, where you can enjoy a drink in the pub gardens whilst admiring the chalk horse carving. Just 3.5 miles from Weymouth and it’s golden sandy beach, lanes of boutique shops, sea life centre and historic harbour this is a perfect village base for exploring the Jurassic Coast. Just 13 miles away are the UNESCO world Heritage sites of Lulworth Cove and Durdle, a short drive further on finds you at Corfe Castle, most recently known for being the inspiration behind many Enid Blyton Famous Five novels. Make sure you take a trip on the steam train on the Swanage Railway, which passes the magnificent ruins. A charming base to choose in a stunning part of Dorset.
