Chapel House

The chapel was beautiful couldn’t have wished for more and in a lovely location and Susie the house keeper was very helpful.

Lovely chapel, location was excellent, First time the wife went to the island, Recommend anyone to visit

Our Christmas stay in Chapel House was a wonderful treat!

There were only the two of us so we had plenty of space to enjoy the grandeur but also the cosy warmth and comfort of the various seating areas. The place was decorated for Christmas throughout, the woodburner was festive and there were plenty of interesting books. The views across the hills to the rear were beautiful and peaceful. Plenty of footpaths along the coast to explore and a short drive to Niton village and Ventnor. Communication from the Housekeeper Susie was very good and there were clear instructions of all the facilities.

Our second visit the Chapel House - just as lovely as the first time.

Sumptuous accommodation and being a later holiday for us we experienced the warmth and glow of the log fire. Simply gorgeous. Looking for an excuse to go again!!!

The Chapel looked amazing in the photographs but the pictures probably don’t do it justice.

It was beautiful and the whole place felt like a big warm hug welcoming you in its hospitable embrace. From the little touches, like the hamper of goodies and the bottle of champagne to the complimentary toiletries it was all there and designed to ensure you have a memorable visit. The log burner appealed to the pyrotechnic male in our group but it wasn’t necessary as the chapel was warm and inviting. The memories we made while sitting at the kitchen island, sipping Mermaid gin and preparing dinner in the range cooker will all live with us for a long time. We came to celebrate my wife’s 60th birthday and we couldn’t have chosen a nicer place in which to gather with friends. Highly recommended.

The Chapel is a superb conversion—stylish ,spacious,,very comfortable and pristine .

Everything you need for an effortless stay.Most generous welcome basket including Prosecco as well as afternoon cream tea..The kitchen is well provided with utensils ,crockery etc.— indeed the property is the best we have ever stayed at.Highly recommended.

Chapel House was stunning, very worthy of the awards it has received.

Beautiful property, spacious & welcoming with a lovely courtyard garden to sit in which catches the sun all day, plus there are variety of games, puzzles and quizzes including films to watch if the weather is not so great.

It’s in a quiet very quiet location but perfect for exploring the whole of the island as nowhere is more than 40 mins drive away by car, although we found the main road that runs past the property is quite busy at times. There is a small viewing mirror when pulling out of the parking space from the property into Newman lane which is ample space for one large car but feel it would be a tight squeeze for two.It can also be quite tricky knowing when to pull out on to the road from Newman lane as you are on a blind bend and it’s difficult to see what’s coming in either direction at any one time and the traffic seems to speed through regardless without slowing down even though there are ‘slow’ signs on the road!, so do take extra care. Think it would be helpful to have those viewing mirrors opposite Newman lane in either direction so you can more easily see what’s coming. Also there are no pavements or streetlights at night so you can’t really walk anywhere ‘safely’ from the property baring in mind how the traffic speeds through which is such a shame. The Wight Mouse Inn is the closest pub (10 mins drive away) which has a really large car park & lovely outside seating area and play area for kids which is accessed from Military Road. The food and staff are great and it’s reasonably priced too. The nearest general stores is Norris Family grocers in Niton (approx 15 min drive) which is a really great store with a small car park just past the store that allows free parking for 60 mins. They have a great selection of food/household goods and probably most of everything you could want or need as most of the larger supermarkets are in Newport. There is also a nice pub there called the White Lion where they serve food which is also nice. Blackgang Chine theme park is also close to the property if you have kids (20 mins) . There are plenty of small car parking areas off of Military road where there are some spectacular views along the coastline & lots of public footpaths to be found all over the island and so overall I would say it’s perfectly placed to explore what the island has to offer and a very lovely and comfortable place to stay and would definitely recommend!

Thank you for such a beautiful holiday.

I can honestly say that the chapel was the loviest place that we have ever stayed in , it’s truly beautiful. The chapel was so comfortable, warm and welcoming and the garden was also lovely. The chapel had everything you could possibly want , right down to hot water bottles and a linen bin! We loved it so much and didn’t want to come home.

This is without a doubt the best place we have stayed in, Clean, comfy beds, excellent shower, beautiful furnishings.

Susie met us on arrival & showed us around, we were speechless. Movies to watch in the snug, scones, jam, cream, cookies, tea, coffee & chilled prosecco waiting for us on arrival. games to play & loads of books to read. The garden was a lovely place to relax in at the end of the day, The house is close to all amenities & my favourite pub (The Wight Mouse) which was a bonus. We would definitely rebook - Infact I may rebook for November with family lol. Keep up the good work - Debbie, Gary, Dawn & Jan x

A superb conversion with absolutely everything you could possibly need in the house.

There is also a lot of ornamentation which makes it difficult keep it dust free and makes it feel very much that you are spending time in somebody else's home. There is a very small patio garden to the rear which had nice views across the fields. Good towels and bed linen. Note 1 The beds in the ground floor twin room were very uncomfortable, you could feel the springs. There are no external windows in this room. Note 2, although the description says 2 parking spaces, unless you have two minis, the reality is only space enough for one car.

A lovely place to stay

We were given such a warm welcome on arrival which made the start of the holiday even better.

the property was spotless and the bedrooms were amazing and very comdortable.the whole building was beautiful and jad incredible features which was really nice,kitchen was great as waa the very cosy living area.i would happily stay again.

Spacious, luxurious property with everything needed for a comfortable stay.

It was lovely to be greeted by the housekeeper who was knowledgeable about both the property and the area. Highly Recommended!

Having been to this property a number of times, we feel some things are getting tired and need some maintenance attention, I left a note of a few items to be sorted , these issues did not affect the great time we had , this property is so Christmas that’s we love going there and would recommend it to anyone, but the issues need attention for future guests to enjoy how fantastic Chapel house is .

The conversion has been completed to a very high standard and the communication from the Housekeeper (Susie) was amazing.

Lovely relaxing place to stay.

This has been the holiday to spoil all others!

Honestly, the best holiday rental we have ever had. I have never paid so much for a holiday in the UK before but believe me, it was worth every single penny. An amazing conversion with everything to the highest spec, spotlessly clean, fabulous welcome basket - honestly, as a family we wanted for nothing. If you are looking for the freedom of a self catering holiday whilst being spoilt by your surroundings, this is the place for you.

Very likely.

Probably the nicest place we have ever stayed as a family. Superb property. Immaculately presented . Ideal space for 6 adults including accessible showers and ground floor bedrooms. Pleasant outdoor space and very well equipped. Only one concern is that parking for two cars could be a little tight but this should not distract from staying in a wonderful property.

A unique, exquisite place to stay.

High quality throughout and a place I would recommend to all visiting the Isle of Wight

The cottage was stunning.

Fabulously decorated and sooo comfy (pillows were like marshmallows and duvets like fluffy clouds!). Probably the best cottage we've ever stayed at.

Luxurious, comfortable, tastefully decorated, beautiful study furnishings.

I couldn't find fault with anything. A unique experience.

Place was absolutely stunning, expertly finished with amazing special touches.

Hosts were fantastic.

We loved being back at Chapel House for the third time.

We feel so at home there and it’s such a special place - so beautifully furnished and yet cosy and comfortable. We love how easy it is to get out and explore the island and then come back to the quietness and calm of Chapel House. Thank you for another wonderful visit and yes, we will be back again!

A very festive atmosphere at Chapel house when we arrived , very clean and well prepared for us , everything you need for your stay was there , excellent lined in bedrooms and bathrooms, even down to milk in fridge so you can make a cuppa when you arrive , we loved our stay over the Christmas period, highly recommended

The property was beautifully presented and well-equipped.

It was extremely comfortable and we very much enjoyed our stay.

This was our second visit to Chapel House and was as perfect as the first.

The property has everything you need for a perfect holiday. A home from home! A very good location for visiting places of interest and restaurants. We would strongly recommend a stay here. Steve and Ann

We were welcomed to the house and shown round by Susie, which was a lovely introduction.

Everything we needed was there for us and a lovely welcome pack. The house is beautifully decorated, with lovely attention to detail and with reference to the house's history as a chapel. It was perfect for our lovely family holiday (all adults). The only problem was finding the BBQ gas bottle empty, but this was a one off and if we had noticed earlier in our stay I am sure it would have been replaced straight away.

Our second visit to Chapel House - this time under different ownership.

We were concerned things may not be as fantastic as our first visit. Delighted to report it was! Lovely welcome from Susie, the housekeeper. Lovely welcome pack. Spotless throughout Five star again! Only one tiny bit of negative feedback - check out is 10 am and checkin for the next lucky guests is 3 pm so we were rather disappointed to have gardeners mowing and strimming the gardens from 8.30 am while we were having breakfast in the garden. Maybe this could be done in the 5 hour handover time?

A stunning property, 5 star facilities, we didn't want for anything.

Lovely welcome from Susie too!! Can't wait to return Thank you Liz, Rob and family

fantastic property , beautiful stained glass.

everything for luxury living.

This beautiful Chapel was our home for 7days.

From the first ‘Wow’ when walking through the Chapel doors, it simply embraced us. Large, spacious accommodation with perfect layout for our family requirements. Well equipped for luxury living - simply the best! A privilege and joy to stay in this exceptional property. To any future occupants….treat this beautiful home with love and respect and the magic will be returned in abundance.

Fabulous property & easily the best we have ever rented from Sykes.

Susie the Housekeeper was wonderful, and especially helpful when the smoke alarm started beeping due to a battery needing replacement. She organised for the handyman to call round & it was fixed within an hour or so of our call to her. Excellent service. Car parking is perfectly adequate for a Ford Fiesta & a Renault Clio: no problems with space at all. Superb property in a lovely location. Would highly recommend this unique property which has been very tastefully converted from a Chapel.

This was a fabulous holiday property!

The chapel has been beautifully converted and looks stunning! All three bedrooms are sumptuous. There was a lovely, friendly in-person welcome and a welcome pack which was much appreciated. The kitchen is well stocked with assorted crockery, pans, cooking utensils and pots. Lovely breakfast option of seating at the kitchen island and a beautiful large dining table. Lovely two sitting areas off the stairs on the upper floor. It was a wonderful and enjoyable experience for us all to stay in such a beautiful, well equipped chapel. Easy access from the chapel to shops, tourist destinations and the lovely beaches. Many thanks for a great holiday!

An absolutely astounding conversion.

The use of space, taste in decor, attention to detail topped off with 1st class cooking and bathroom facilities make this, by far, the most interesting and best self-catering property we've stayed at.

Chapel House is a stunning building that has been cleverly converted into a comfortable and welcoming holiday home.

We particularly enjoyed the bright, light, open plan living spaces, the cosy snug and the sun trap garden. The kitchen was well stocked and all the appliances worked perfectly (although it would have been nice to have a bit more worktop space for preparation). The only real negative was a lack of recycling facilities: whilst there were separate recycling bins inside the house, we were told everything gets collected together. As avid recyclers at home, that was surprising and disappointing. Apart from that this really is a top class property in a stunning location. We would highly recommend it.

Perfect Place to stay.

Spacious accommodation, very nice touches, welcome hamper was appreciated. Susie who greeted us & showed us around was lovely. Good base to explore. Pubs and petrol station nearby, we had a food delivery too. When we come back we will look to book again. Nothing more to say except don’t hesitate BOOK IT!

Absolutely amazing accommodation.

We didn’t want to leave. We felt properly looked after with everything you could possibly need. Such a stunning property. Loved the fact that we were greeted and shown round. The views were amazing so quiet no noise or light pollution in the evenings. The only thing I would Say is it would be nice to have a key safe somewhere that as guests we can use to pop a key in and don’t need to take out with us as we did a lot Of walking and to the beach etc so we were worried about loosing it.

We had a week at chapel house and it’s a fabulous property.

There was only two of us but plenty of room for 6 people. I think the most important things you need to know are. Are the beds comfortable ….. absolutely. Is heating and hot water good….. absolutely. Cleanliness perfect. Fixtures and fittings all high quality The original chapel stained glass windows are beautiful and obviously not double glazed so you get a little traffic noise but it’s not a busy road so not too much of a problem Susie, the housekeeper met us at checkin and A very generous welcome pack was provided 100% recommended

Amazing conversion.

The attention to detail in this property is incredible. We were very warmly welcomed on our arrival and felt totally relaxed throughout our holiday.

The chapel is a fantastic place to stay, such a wonderful conversion, every room was clean, showers all worked perfectly, I’m fussy and could not fault this property and I can only have praise for it and wouldn’t hesitate in rebooking again

An exceptional holiday “cottage”.

I had always wondered what living in a converted church would be like - this has been so imaginatively and wonderfully converted with such attention to detail and is so beautiful I cannot believe it can be bettered. I highly recommend this property and the only negative feedback I can give is to say how much we all regretted having to leave at the end of the week! ❤️

The chapel house is a truly stunning place -cosy, comfortable, warm yet light and airy.

Great grown up party venue. Only complaint is the parking space - tight space for two cars.

A beautiful property.

The large window above the stairs was very impressive. The log burner really heated the chapel up on an autumn evening and made the place very cosy. Shame the chapel didn’t have a coffee machine which you would expect in a luxury property. The parking for two cars was too tight. You wouldn’t fit two family cars in and be able to alight your vehicle. Getting in and out of the parking spaces onto the lane was arduous.

The Chapel House is truly amazing.

We enjoyed such a brilliant, relaxing week in this superb home. The chapel features are beautiful, the decor sumptuous, with remarkable attention to detail showing artistic and, at times, fun and quirky style. It couldn’t be improved. Our host, Sarah, was also so welcoming and accommodating and the house was so well equipped with everything we needed. The Isle of Wight is great too, with so much to see and do, and beautiful countryside and coastlines. Highly recommended for an outstandingly perfect stay.

Exquisite accommodation.

Superb facilities and an excellent place for a relaxing family holiday. Plenty of space to relax and an absolutely first-class stay. Congratulations to Sarah on an outstanding conversion from Chapel to holiday home. Would highly recommend.

Stunning chapel just wow

We were given a warm welcome by Sarah who showed us around and explained the workings of everything and had supplied a delicious welcome pack.

Chapel House is a brilliant place to stay - plenty of space and very comfortable. It is also in a quiet village with most places of interest within a short distance. We would certainly recommend it as a holiday destination.

Sublime elegance .

.. a perfect get-away with attention to detail.

Fantastic accommodation, great location and a lovely welcome pack.

Ideal for anyone that likes walking and the quieter side of the island. Already booked for next year.

We had a fabulous stay at Chapel House and wanted for nothing.

Highly recommended.

I expected a stay in a converted chapel to be quite special and it certainly was.

I think we all said “wow” when we walked in! Original features remained, stained glass windows, stone arches, organ pipes to name a few, yet the kitchen, bathrooms and the overall feel were modern. Lots of space but it was cosy too. It was spotless, beautifully decorated and furnished. Sarah, showed us round and explained all the ‘tech’ and left a lovely welcome basket of goodies. Lovely situation close to footpaths and not far from the sea. A fabulous week that will definitely be repeated in Chapel House.

We have stayed at Chapel House before and even with the new restrictions in place - sarah made us feel incredibly welcome and the place was incredibly clean and tidy.

The house is beautiful. The area is lovely and all in all we had a wonderful time. The only reason that i am unsure whether i would book again is not because of the house but the way that Sykes initially handled the pandemic. So i am not confident that they are the best company to book through - first refused refunds / date change, then refused refunds and only allowed certain date changes which cost people more, then refused a refund if you had changed your date. This was only after excessive pressure from Martin Lewis and the government. So Sykes you get 5/10. Sarah and Chapel house get 100/10 because the property itself is honestly amazing.
