  • "The Old Chapel, Dorstone is a stunning property."

    The conversion from Chapel to cottage has been so well considered resulting in a welcoming and extremely comfortable home. The cottage is well furnished and equipped and we would not hesitate to recommend it as a great place for a relaxing holiday.

  • "The property is beautifully presented."

    It is a converted Chapel and has been done in a very sympathetic way. When we arrived on the Friday evening the property was lovely and warm with the heating having been put on ahead of our arrival, always a pleasant surprise. Whilst we didn'tcook this time we had a look at the kitchen and can say that it is well equipped with plenty of cutlery, crockery, untensils and mugs/cups.Would fully recommend this property and we will be looking to go back in the future. Thank you.

  • "The Old Chapel is truely delightful."

    Its conversion has been done to a very high standard. We were very comfortable with lovely bed and bedding. The shower was very good and the shower gell and body lotion were lovely. I am tempted to buy some myself. The selection of goodies to welcome us was very thoughtful. Dorstone is a great village and the Pandy Inn well worth a visit.

  • "Lovely converted chapel, very well furnished and laid out."

    The owners live next door and are on hand if you need them but don’t intrude, the wine was just what I needed after a long drive, thank you. The pub is only a couple of minutes walk away and does some lovely food with generous portions. Great place to stay, definitely recommend.
