  • "The Old Chapel was brilliant, everything you could possibly need."

    It's homely spotless areal gem. The reason I gave it a mark of 9 and not 10 was the parking which is very tight. I would recommend you park on the road at the front of the property in the first instance

    Thanks for your lovely feedback. It's fine to pull up in front of the property as long as others can pass - that's where I always park thanks again Jean Property Owner

    Very clean and beds were lovely and comfortable, plenty of hot water too. The only thing we found was the toilet in the bathroom was leaking from the bottom of the cistern ( but easily mopped up ). Parking is a bit tight but we managed OK and have a big car . Lovely welcome pack on arrival . The only thing that spoilt our holiday was the horrendous weather , so cut our stay short by 2 days.

    Thanks for this lovely feedback - we'll sort the toilet and thanks for letting us know - what a shame about the weather - typically it's glorious now - thanks again Jean Property Owner

  • "The Old Chapel was absolutely perfect for a base."

    It was spotlessly clean, very comfortable and extremely well equipped. The owners attention to detail was excellent. I noticed some previous comments about the tightness of the parking but was glad that I didn't let that put me off. There are in fact two options, one at the front of the property or inside the gate, we wanted a secure area for the dog so chose the former. It was fine! We had a call from the owner Jean a few days before who was very friendly and helpful. We would definitely recommend this property and would stay here again should we return to the area.

    York Moors. The parking permit for Scarborough town centre was very useful. Spiral staircase could be a problem for some but fine for us. As mentioned in other reviews, getting a car onto the drive isn't easy, but not a major problem as we had a small car. We stayed for ten days and the cottage was well equipped for longer stays.

  • "We found the property, a beautifully converted Methodist chapel, to be very comfortable, clean and all the facilities you could wish for."

    The visitor has the option to set their own temperature with a very easy to use controller. Parking is off road at the side of the chapel which is a bonus and there are plenty of dog walks within easy distance of the property. The only reason we didn’t give our stay a ten was the big gamble trying to get out of the lane from the chapel onto the main road. Cars park either side of the opening and you end up having to edge out onto the road and it’s very nerve racking. A traffic mirror placed across the road would be a tremendous help. Other than that point we enjoyed our stay very much.

    Many thanks for your feedback, we are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Old Chapel.Thank you for bringing to our attention that the mirror has been removed. The community are looking to get this replaced as soon as possible Property Owner

    Excellent, spacious, comfortable home-from-home with super facilities and much care and attention into what you might need while staying. Well positioned, just a one-mile walk to the coast at Cloughton Wyke and with plenty of great local walks / paths (and the cinder track for cycling). Easy to get to a wide variety of beautiful and interesting spots. We will return.

  • "Suggested improvements: Requires shelves in the bathroom Requires a chair in each bedroom Restricted parking space was a nightmare Garden was not suitable for dogs - no grass!"

    Spiral staircase is not appropriate for the elderly

    Thank you for your recommendations. We do have storage space for guests already in the bathroom for toiletries. We are not looking to add any additional chairs in the bedrooms as it will restrict the space, but there is plenty of space for everyone to relax together in the lounge. We've had many types of vehicles arriving and have even had a 4x4 park with no issue, however there is some off-road parking in the area if people do struggle. Our garden is shown in our photos as gravel, so no grass I'm afraid, but it is fully secured and safe for dogs. We're surrounded by beautiful and scenic fields here at The Old Chapel and also have a cricket pitch close by where people often take their dogs for exercise. We hope you were able to explore the wonderful area we have to offer. The spiral staircase is a charming feature to the Old Chapel, it does have a handrail but as it's included in our photos we hope people would know prior to booking that the property would be suitable for their needs. Kind regards Property Owner

    Chapel was spotless and very well appointed. Parking for me was not an issue. We were in a discovery which would fit in the Parking area. However if your not confident with that you can easily use the area at the front of the building. Couple of great pubs within half a mile, especially the Blacksmiths Arms. Great food, and very welcoming. Dogs were made to feel really welcome. Nice walks along the old railway line. Absolutely loved my stay here, and will definitely stay again.

  • "The Old Chapel is lovely, very cosy, well maintained and in a fabulous location for a variety of walks."

    The only criticism I would have is the same as most people have commented on and that is the parking. Whilst I know there is nothing that can be done about the space, there is some improvement that could be made. We have been to this property twice this year, the first time we used the driveway and this time the parking space at the front because we wanted to give our dog outside freedom of the driveway space. Although the parking is tight at the front, it can be done (even in a smaller 4 x 4). However, this takes a bit of manoeuvring back and forth to get it right with the wheels just about off the road. The problem arises when the tyres skid on the gravel which very nearly led to a scape on the wall. This would be greatly alleviated if both areas were paved rather than gravelled with a smooth slope to the edge rather than wooden kerbing. It would also eliminate the gravel being spread across the lane and having to be swept up. Whilst we were there, the Red Bull was closed but the Blacksmiths Arms, a few minutes away served good food. This time of year beware of ticks, make sure you treat your dog just before you go!

    Also several times met other cars coming onto or down the lane when we came onto it. Can’t see traffic coming on the main road when you’re wanting to pull out.
