"We recently stayed at the property for a family weekend to celebrate my mother’s 70th birthday."
There were 11 of us in total, and overall, we had a really enjoyable break. The space was fantastic, and the facilities were generally good, which made it a lovely place for us all to gather.
However, there were a number of issues that let the property down and gave the impression of a lack of attention to detail. Cleanliness was not up to standard in places – for example, skirting boards were grubby, there was dirt in nooks and crannies such as around the sink and under the counter lip, and the dishwasher filter was filthy, meaning items came out gritty and dirty. Much of the kitchen equipment (glasses, cups, plates, cutlery, utensils) had been put away still dirty and had to be rewashed before we could use them. For a property of this size, a few extra pieces of cutlery would also be useful, as there was only just enough for 12. In addition, there was a lack of sharp knives or a knife sharpener, and the frying pans were in such poor condition they could not be used, which made cooking for a large group more difficult than it needed to be.
The décor and maintenance needed some attention too. The kitchen floor had deteriorated, the shower door edges were worn and in need of replacement, and one bedroom door did not fit properly – it needs rehanging so it will close without making a loud scraping noise. In terms of supplies, only one teatowel was provided (insufficient for a large group), more bin bags should be supplied, and a mop would have been useful for kitchen floor spillages.
Outside, the garden furniture needed some care, the patio would have benefitted from a sweep before arrival, and the hot tub area was unwelcoming due to bird droppings. A pot filled with sand, apparently used for stubbing out cigarettes, had been left on the patio and sand had spilled onto the ground.
Despite these issues, we did enjoy our stay overall and made the most of the great space and facilities. It’s just a shame that these relatively small details, which are all fixable, affected what could have been an excellent experience.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed review. We’re pleased you and your family enjoyed the space, comfort and facilities overall. We’re naturally disappointed to hear that some aspects didn’t meet your expectations, as we usually receive very positive feedback on both cleanliness and amenities. Your comments have been noted and passed to our team so we can continue to improve.

"Nice, bright property with lots of bedrooms suitable for two families."
The hot tub was great and well maintained. Very nice kitchen with fridge supplying chilled, filtered water and ice. The oven was very good too and there was a large TV and comfy sofas. On the third floor there was darts, pool and table football. We found that we didn't use it much, as it was very hot up there and the pool table had warped slightly in the heat.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We're glad to read that you enjoyed your stay, we'd love to see you again in the future.

"Absolutely stunning house!"
❤️
I stayed here for the weekend with 9 friends and we could not of been happier, the house was perfect! Rooms amazing with very comfortable beds! Huge kitchen/dinning room! The biggest hot tub I’ve ever been in, My favourite room would have to be the games room upstairs with a bar, great for entertainment. I think I speak for all the girls that stayed the weekend when I say we felt like royalty in this house!
Well worth the money and most definitely plan on returning again, probably for longer then a weekend next time as I did not want to leave ❤️
Thank you for leaving us such an amazing review, we're so glad to hear you all had such a lovely time. We'd love it if you came back to stay and we'll try to ensure we provide another suitably royal welcome !

Beautiful place for all the family. Large seating area so plenty of room for the 9 of us. Opening the doors onto the garden and sitting at the large dining table for the family meal was a treat. The games room was very popular as was the piano.

"My partner booked the Old Chapel as a birthday surprise for my 40th, with family and friends for a mini retreat."
A yoga instructor friend came to do some sessions with us in the loft, which was the perfect location with beautiful views either side through the gorgeous windows.
The property is beautifully renovated, incredibly spacious and perfect for a group with stunning rooms and bathrooms.
Beds were really comfortable, the kitchen was superbly stocked with enough of everything including loads of tea, coffee and milk for a cuppa before you unpack. The garden is lovely and peaceful, hot tub really relaxing (very deep!).
The hosts were very communicative, instructions for getting in really straight forward and clear. The welcome pack was full of info, and after we left and had left am item behind they were really accommodating for us in trying to locate and return it.
The games room was so much fun, the pool table especially (a little bit wonky so the balls did some funny things which made it more fun), retro games, excellent choice of board games. We didn't leave the property and were entertained all weekend with small kids and grown ups alike.
Overall I'd highly recommend the Old chapel. It was absolutely wonderful and a very special place. Can't comment on location as we didn't go out, but it was peaceful and beautiful and easy to find. Enough parking for 4 cars on the drive as well as on the street if needed.
I hope we can return in future, thank you so much for a really special way to get a year older!!
Thank you for such a great review, I'm so glad you enjoyed you special birthday.
We try to cater for all the family, so glad we hit the spot.
We hope you'll come back and stay with us in the future, we'd love to welcome you back.

"We recently spent a 3 night weekend at The Old Chapel in Kexby, Glentworth, for my daughter’s 21st birthday celebration with our family."
Checkin was simple, using the key safe system, and we felt immediately at home with everything we could possibly need for a fun weekend. The property was clean and comfortable, with plenty of seating for everybody in the kitchen/dining area and also the living room. The bedrooms were spacious and beautifully decorated. We made use of the games room including the pool table and dart board and also the hot tub in the garden. It was in a great location for walking our dogs. There was a useful guide to the property which included plenty of ideas if you wanted to get out and about, although we chose to spend most of our time in the lovely chapel.
Thank you so much for this lovely review and we're thrilled your daughter had a great 21st birthday!
We're glad we kept you busy for the weekend and we hope you'll come and stay with us again soon.

Everything was great, very clean and everything was as described. The owners left a lovely Christmas gift and card which was a kind gesture, they also called us to check all was ok.
I would definitely recommend this property for a large gathering, the open plan design downstairs is great for socialising.
Overall we had a lovely time and would book again.

"A stunning property."
Could do with some soft furnishings in kitchen area like curtains above sofa and blinds in kitchen and dining area as blinded by the beautiful sunshine on our stay. Floorboards in bedrooms very creaky but could easily be sorted. We would definitely come back. Perfect for a family gathering.
Thanks for you review, we’re glad you had a great time. As new owners of this property we’re keen to have feedback so will consider your point on curtains/blinds.
As the chapel dates from 1881 I’m not sure if we can eradicate the creaks but we’ll bear it in mind.
We hope you will indeed come back and stay again.

The new owners were very helpful and we were impressed how quickly they got a plumber out to fix a tap that started leaking during our stay. We enjoyed trips out to Lincoln, to the coast and for dog walks in the woods.
