The Old Church

Five stars.

- A brilliant place to stay, they have provided everything you need and more for a great stay. Thank you

Great base for exploring the Yorkshire Dales.

Excellent Welcome pack waiting in the accommodation, which was very much appreciated after a long drive! All domestic needs catered for to start your holiday. Plenty of games/books etc in the property. Smart Tv and good internet connection. Decent showers and plenty of hot water. Very spacious accommodation and nice warm temperatures throughout for open plan space. Safe, closed garden, great for the fur babies. Decent privacy. Lots of information provided on where to go walking and lots of information on what’s around and about the village and surrounding areas. Would definitely look to stay here again, highly recommend. Thank you Susan and Ian

Perfect little spot in a quiet area.

Some gorgeous walks and within short distance to a bunch of amazing areas. Had everything we needed and more. No complaints at all, thank you so much for the lovely few days!

Lovely place to stay, it’s very spacious and the lovely touches by the owners is excellent.

. milk, cookies, bread etc Lots of local walks and we found plenty of dog friendly pubs too. Only downside was the floor (stunning wood floor) but was slippy for the dogs, we don’t have the calmest and something to go across the spiral staircase because our dogs are daft enough to try and go upstairs. We used 2 stools and a blanket.. We really enjoyed our stay and would stay again

Lovely, unique cottage with everything one could need.

Welcome pack was a great addition and much appreciated. Would highly recommend this property.

A great family cottage in a quiet village near Market Weighton.

We enjoyed our stay here. The milk shed is a must to visit. We have never drank so much milkshake. Attentive hosts.

We have stayed at this property many times and have always found the high standard.

The property owners are very friendly and quick to resolve any issues.

Beautiful place to stay, lovely little villiage, the accommodation was first class, everything you needed, warm, clean, comfortable, felt very homely, and owners left us with some nice goodies, bread, biscuits, milk ect, which we all thought was a nice touch and welcoming.

Would highly recommend this accommodation, loads of places to visit nearby, and your in nice surroundings.

Lovely stay again, so comfortable and with lots of space, in a great spot for visiting Beverley, York and walking on the Wolds.

A lovely place to stay to explore the beautiful Yorkshire countryside.

Plenty of walks on your doorstep, although we found you needed to walk to Market Weighton along a busy road to find the best walks. We would recommend a visit to Filey Beach, it’s a relaxing drive, and it’s a beautifully kept beach…we would recommend Inghams Fish & Chips in town…fresh and tasted amazing. The owner of the property, Susan, couldn’t have been more helpful…we would definitely recommend this property…why only 4 stars?…downstairs bed wasn’t that comfortable, few bits and bobs missing from the utensils…but overall, a great place.

A fantastic and comfortable stay at The Old Church!

We had a wonderful 2 week stay.

The welcome pack was very thoughtful. We used Shiptonthorpe as a base for visiting York, Scarborough, Filey, Knaresborough. The accommodation has everything you need and the enclosed garden is ideal for dogs. There is a farm shop a mile up the road for fresh bread, milk and sausage rolls. Would definitely return if visiting the area

Perfect in every way,lovely comfotable accomadation.

Made very welcolme from susan from the start.great location to explore the yorkshire wolds.Highly reccomend the old church.Very dog freindly with lots of local walks. Thanks susan

The Old Church is in a fantastic location.

The owners were very accommodating of what we needed to suit our family for our short break. It’s a gorgeous cottage and we would highly recommend. There was a few maintenance issues but this did not effect our stay. Overall very clean, a gorgeous welcome pack which we were very grateful for upon arrival. Nearly everything is there to get you through your stay. A lovely diary farm just a short walk away that sells fresh milk, pork pies bread and sausage rolls as well as some fresh meat.

We have stayed in this property a number of times and have always found it excelent.

Susan (the owner) has always been very accommodating. We shall be staying here again.

A gorgeous place, wonderfully quiet location and close to everything we needed to get to.

Neighbours were all so friendly. Loved the proximity and idea of the Milk Shed - a big hit with us! A 'tardis' of a property - small from the outside but enormous once you set foot indoors. Would recommend to anyone considering a nice quiet stay around this area.

I have been to this property several times and have always found the standard to be very high.

The owners are very helpful.

Lovely building.

Cosy but very spacious.

The Old Church is a beautiful, comfortable, peaceful place to stay and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit.

It looks even better than in the listing photos. The main room in particular is an amazing space. We really appreciated the generous welcome pack and easy communication with the owners via text. We'd love to come back again.

Susan and Ian hosted us for a wonderful weekend getaway and on arrival made us feel right at home.

Thankyou so much for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Just wonderful .

Everything we wanted and more ! Perfect location and superbly equipped . Have just rebooked

Lovely stay at the Old Church.

Facilities are excellent, comfortable and clean. We love staying at this place. Really good welcome pack, great WiFi for working and local area has loads of fab walks.

Beautiful place in a lovely village, can’t fault it at all, had a fabulous week.

Very clean comfortable accommodation in a nice quiet village.

Location very good and easy to travel to different places.

Breathtaking, from the moment you step into the property.

Beautifully renovated.The hosts went above and beyond with the welcome pack.Highly recommend the jam. Couldn't wish for anything better to make our holiday complete. Very spacious property, lovely area.Comfy beds and lovely bathrooms. Will definitely return again. The photos don't do it justice.

We had a lovely stay at the Old Chuch, property was in great condition and really comfortable.

We had a power cut the first night and the hosts came to check on us, to bring candles and ensure we were ok. Lots of homely touches and the welcome beer, biscuits etc were very well received. Great location for exploring Yorkshire and fab running routes nearby too. Would definitely recommend and would visit again!

Very clean and well maintained property.

Owners very accomodating and friendly.

We had a really lovely week.

great communication. Home from home.we would love to return when in the area. Lots to do in the area.would not hesitate to recommend. Thank you.

Really enjoyable few days away.

The Old Church is everything other positive reviewers have said. Great location, extremely clean, comfortable and well stocked with all you need for a self catering holiday. This was our first days away with our recently arrived pooch, she loved it. So, we'll definitely be back. (Sorry again for pinching the jam....) cheers, Lou, Flo, & Mick

Fantastic place and very homely Owners extremely helpful and only a call/message away Lots to do and buses are great to use instead of the car Would love to go back

Great place to stay clean, comfortable with lots of room and easy parking.

Friendly owners who left the best welcome pack we've ever had. Lovely area with lots to do nearby. Would definitely stay again.

A great place to stay, hosts Ian and Susan made us welcome from the start to end of the stay , arrival pack , heating on for arrival, check-in to ensure all was well.

The old church is very comfortable and had every thing we required whilst we stayed, definitely recommend and would stay again.

Would not hesitate to stay again, Ian (the owner) came along and introduced himself on the first day asking if we required anything.

A very pleasant surprise was the goodie basket that awaited us, bread, butter, jam, milk, coffee, tea, cookies (they were delicious) and some eggs and not forgetting the can of cider & beer. Cottage was immaculate and was nice to have a Smart TV.

Outstanding in every way.

v stylish and homely. The Old Church is a little gem

This was our fourth stay at the Old Church - as previously the property has loads of space and is beautifully decorated.

Welcome pack is nice and particularly important for us as I need to work during visits, the WiFi is great. Area is great for walks and for visiting York, Beverley and the coast.

Love this area and have stayed at several Sykes properties in the locality.

This has to be the best, deceptively spacious, beautiful conversion and has everything you could ask for. Ideal location for exploring York, Beverley, the coast, Yorkshire moors and beyond. Would definitely recommend.

We have just returned from a new year stay a the old church.

We cannot fault anything about it, from start to finish. Beautiful modern decor, but very homely and cosy. Lovely welcome back and decorated very tastefully for Xmas. Everything you need, lots of information from the hosts about the surrounding area and things to do. I asked about a later check out, and it was no problem, as no one staying the next day. Ian the owner came round to see us and offered us another night for a very small fee of just towards the heating etc. which was a lovely touch. Thank you for a lovely stay, we will definitely be back

We stayed for Christmas week and it was amazing.

The property was warm and cosy, spotlessly clean and had everything we needed.

We loved our stay at the Old Church.

Great hosts, welcoming, responsive, fantastic recommendations.

What a lovely place to stay !

Very sociable .The street is full of lovely houses . Would definitely recommend and use again ! Thanks for the use of your property.

Lovely place to stay.

Everything we needed

We have just returned home after a week"s stay at this beautiful renovated Chapel.

We arrived after a long journey to a beautiful , very tastefully decorated property and was welcomed with the most thoughtful welcome pack! We even had the pleasure of meeting the owners who were amazing hosts , the best we have ever experienced , a delightful , charming , friendliest couple who informed us of the places to visit and how to get there etc!, we will deffinately be keeping in touch ! The accomodation is very well maintained , everything we wanted was there , a real home from home. We visited many places during our stay and we would deffinately recommend this property to anyone who wishes to visit this cgarming part of Yorkshire.

Lovely place to stay.

Very clean,comfy beds,Had everything we needed.Very quite location.Would stay here again.

Welcome package was a very nice addition and unexpected (home made jam amazing) very clean well equipment enjoyed our stay would book again, highly recommended

This was a very nice place to stay, with a unique layout which worked for us.

We had one small plumbing problem which was sorted out straight away with no fuss, thank you.

A lovely property, comfortable and peaceful.

Very well equipped and spacious ground floor. Would highly recommend.

A beautiful renovated church which has been decorated to a high standard.

It has everything you need for a comfortable relaxing stay. Susan and Ian checked in to ensure we had everything we needed and provided a wonderful welcome pack. There is plenty to do and see nearby, with some lovely walks. This is our second stay and definitely won't be our last.

Accommodation was very comfortable and well finished.

Striking design. Good location for touring, walking, birdwatching. 30 minutes to York, 45 minutes to the coast.

We really enjoyed our stay at this property it had everything you need and the welcome pack was just fabulous thank you.

I would definitely recommend this property

Spent a very enjoyable week in a lovely part of the country.

The Old Church had everything we needed to relax and refresh, Hosts very helpful with suggestions for walks and places to visit, welcome pack very nice touch. Would highly recommend. Thank you.

Beautifully appointed holiday property.

Great base for the seaside and surrounding villages. We had a very relaxing stay. Peaceful with only the sounds of birdsong. Ian and Sue lovely and welcoming hosts. Left some goodies, which were appreciated. Second stay here, will return. Thank you.

This is a beautiful property.

Tastefully decorated and very comfortable. We were left a generous welcome pack which was very much appreciated. We thoroughly enjoyed our peaceful stay. We have already booked a return stay in July when we hope to fit in a day at one of the local racecourses.

The property cannot be faulted.

Very clean and comfortable.

My work colleague and I have stayed at the old church twice now and it’s fantastic

This was a lovely property and the owners have clearly renovated the property to a high standard.

It has a rarely seen mezzanine floor with spiral stair, landing into an open-plan living/kitchen space. Everything about the property has been designed to provide guests with a high-level of comfort, such as motion-sensors on the bathroom lights for night-time visits! The welcome pack and information provided throughout our stay was a nice touch and very much appreciated - it is true when they say, 'it's the little things that count'! The Old Church is also in a good location whether you're heading into York for the day, or any of the coastal areas in the region.

The property is beautiful, well equipped and comfortable.

The owners are on hand but not imposing but very helpful if you have a question, and get back to you quickly which is lovely . Loved the area it’s well worth a visit .

Very impressed with the facilities in the property, excellent kitchen equipment for cooking.

Comfortable bed, lovely bathrooms. Staying at a cold time of year we appreciated the flexibility of the heating. Our only minor downside would be the cold leather sofas, but that is a personal thing.

Fabulous - great location, great property, great communication from owners and a very thoughtful welcome pack :) We had a really good week and will definitely be back - thoroughly recommended.

Fantastic property.

Very homely. Ian(owner) checked we had settled in ok. Loved all the little extras such as tea, coffee, biscuits, fruit and milk. Would definitely stay again if we are in the area.

This is a wonderful property, in a great location.

It is presented to a very high standard and we couldn’t want for anything. We would recommend highly, and hope to return again one day.

Thanks for a great stay in your place, you were great hosts and even provided some wellies for muddy walks.

The only thing I would have changed is the beds, putting the double on the mezzanine and the singles in the bedroom, but apart from that it was perfect.

Absolutely fabulous property.

We loved every minute of our stay at the Old Church in Shiptonthorpe. We came to stay as we have relatives living nearby and would love to stay again. The layout of the conversation is beautiful, high ceiling and spacious. Everything is comfortable, good quality furnishings, curtains, bedding and towels. Kitchen really spacious and fresh bright and modern. Owners had left a very thoughtful welcome pack and a personal letter. Loved the mezzanine bedroom and the staircase up to it. Smart TV and brilliantly fast Wifi - I worked while staying in the property using Teams meetings and it worked very well. If you are thinking of booking this property you will not be disappointed it is beautiful.

This is ideal holiday accommodation.

Every thing provided and all of excellent taste. Warm and very comfortable

The Old Church is easily the best holiday cottage we have stayed in .

First impression was one of space and light in the beautiful living room / kitchen area , then we were extremely impressed by the cleanliness and comfort . Everything in the house was of the highest quality and there is off road parking and a pleasant garden to sit and enjoy the sunshine . The area is very dog friendly , with lovely walks and dog welcoming shops ,cafes and beaches . Our hosts were great and provided a generous welcome pack and information and advice on places to visit …… we will be back !! Sue and Doug

The property was very clean on arrival, and light and airy downstairs.

It had comfortable seating areas and a well maintained outside courtyard area with plenty of space to sit around a garden table. Good quality bedding and towels were provided. A generous welcome tray awaited us on arrival which was much appreciated.

Lovely layout, well presented & practical.

Amazing welcome pack and letter. Can’t think of anything to do except praise the owners. We had a wonderful time in a relaxed, clean and comfortable setting. Would return in a heartbeat.

The Old Church was first class accommodation.

Everything for our comfort had been provided and was very clean. The welcome pack was exceptional and much appreciated. We will recommend and hope that the owners do well in their new venture.

I thoroughly recommend this beautiful property.

It is in a very pretty village which is in a handy location for York, Beverley Pocklington and the beautiful Yorkshire wolds as well as being not too far from the coast. There is so much to do in the area within easy reach. I had a lovely restful stay with my two dogs, The very pretty courtyard yard was just enough for them to potter about in and for me to sit and enjoy the sun. The Old Church is very well equipped spotless and comfortable with a lovely welcome pack. Many thanks

I had an most excellent stay.

Cottage is very comfortable, clean & spacious. Location is peaceful with a nice outside space. Highly recommendable

We had a fantastic time at the old church .

Very clean and well equipped the beds were comfortable . We were out somewhere different every day just a short drive away York Pocklington Beverley to name a few . And the garden center is a stones throw away for a short walk with coffee and a scone. Would definitely recommend.. Karen and Harry (dad)

A wonderful stay in a beautifully converted church.

A thoughtful welcome pack and all modern amenities. Very clean on arrival , comfortable beds and two beautiful bathrooms both of which are on the ground floor. Such a great walking area , plenty to do and see. I would highly recommend a stay here

Fantastic property, fantastic hosts and somewhere we will definitely be booking again.

Cottage had everything we could possibly need, and has been very well thought out Nice little garden to sit in a d enjoy the peace and quiet The welcome pack was a a added bonus will definitely be returning as it's location is an idea base for York and the surrounding are

Would 100% recommend!

Had a lovely 3 night stay with family and 2 dogs, everything we needed!!

Great property, maintained to a high standard.

Loads of information to help and very friendly owners (Susan and Ian) just round the corner to help with anything. Would highly recommend. Everything you need for a great break!

Beautiful converted church.

Very clean and fantastic open plan space. Enclosed back garden perfect for dogs. Well equipped kitchen. Lovely welcome pack on arrival. Great location, although if you have a big car can be difficult to get in and out of the drive as cars are parked on the side of the road making access a bit tricky but doable. Ensuite shower seem to leak in the corner by the sink and the flooring is coming apart and the splash back plinth to the ensuite sink is loose so the tap catches it. Only minor issues and wouldn't stop us returning as so many positive aspects to the beautiful property.

Just what we needed had a great weekend at the old church good communication with ian before we arrived the property is great good layout modern and cleanliness ian and sue have done a great job converting the church great Indian restaurant at end off toad mumbia lounge we even went into market weighton for food and drinks thankyou ian and sue for welcome pack and hospitality we will definitely be back soon

A beautifully converted church with everything we needed.

Sue and Ian were fantastic hosts, providing us with flexible sleeping arrangements and a lovely welcome basket ( including homemade jam!). The downstairs bedroom with en-suite was perfect for some members of our family, while our teenagers loved the mezzanine. The location suited us very well as we had easy access to York, Beverley, Hull and Leeds and a trip to local York air museum was enjoyed by all. We hope to visit again in the warmer months, to make full use of the patio garden. Many thanks to Sue and Ian.

Fantastic week in the old church, really comfortable and everything we needed nice tip from Ian about a local pub “Goodmanham arms” check it out real ale open fire etc.

The Old Church is perfect.

A nicely renovated Chapel. It has everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Very friendly and hospitable owners, who are on hand if needed. Perfectly located for us to explore the wonderful city of York. We had a lovely stay

Such a beautiful place in an amazing location!

We enjoyed our short stay and the owners even provided fresh eggs, jam, butter, milk and even treats for our furry friends. Thank you again, then Denyer family xx

Fabulous place to stay.

Has everything you need . We loved it, and will stay again.

What a gorgeous property!

! Had a fantastic week with my partner, in a good location, close to york (25-30 mins drive) and Scarborough (1 hour drive). Sue and Ian are perfect hosts, helping us whenever we needed them, and providing a lovely welcome hamper, which was so handy after a long drive there! Can't recommend this place highly enough! Look forward to stopping here again in the future. Thank you Sue and Ian!

My partner, myself and our two beagles had a fantastic stay at The Old Church last week and found it to be very cosy, warm and comfortable.

The chapel has been renovated to a high standard and had everything we could have needed and more. There was a lovely welcome pack from the owners on our arrival which was a nice touch. We really enjoyed the open plan aspect of the property and the inclusion of some original features like the chapel floor. The location is great for getting to surrounding villages and York and Beverley and in the village itself within walking distance was a 24hr shop and other amenities such as an Indian restaurant, bakery and garden centre. We were very pleased to find it had a delightful yard full of colourful flowers which was fully enclosed and secure for our two dogs. The village itself was very quiet and peaceful and the owners were very accommodating as they live nearby and checked in with us to ensure we were happy with everything they also provided a fantastic recommendation for a nice restaurant (The Bay Horse in Market Weighton) where we enjoyed a delicious meal out. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would be happy to come back again.

A well-presented cottage, in an excellent location for touring the East Riding of Yorkshire.

The cottage conversion had been carried out to an excellent standard. We felt the owners were keen to welcome us there, even down to the great food and drink selection, awaiting for us on our arrival !

Lovely cottage, very quiet , locals friendly, however , if you are looking for a walk to the local shop, or maybe have a takeaway , or even a stroll to the local pub, there isn’t any,apart from one Indian restaurant which wasn’t open.

The nearest place would be the service station for any necessities. Everything thing else you would need to drive or get a taxi.

This has to be one of the best places we have stayed in.

Very clean, well equipped and a great base for exploring Yorkshire with its many beaches, towns and properties. Brilliant to be able to bring my puppy who thoroughly enjoyed himself and settled in really quickly. It was lovely to receive lots of welcome goodies from the owners. Would happily stay here again.

Place was everything we wanted and more

The Old Church is a credit to the owners Ian & Sue.

From arriving to a lovely welcome pack and seeing the Cottage situated in Shiptonthorpe, everything was as we wanted. It is local for York Park & Ride, Pocklington, Beverley etc. It is very peaceful and the locals are very friendly. All being well we will be back next year! Joan & Les

Beautifully converted church, renovated to a really high standard.

Clean, comfortable and well equipped. Really enjoyed our stay. Lovely quiet village, and great location for coast and York. Lots to do.

A lovely newly renovated property which was very clean and well equipped.

Friendly and helpful hosts.

A lovely old chapel which has been made into a beautiful holiday retreat with everything you need for a comfortable stay.

The welcome pack was a lovely touch! The teenagers only complaint was that you need padding in the beams on the mezzanine but then they are clumsy and added some laughs to the holiday-what's a few bumps and bruises between friends!

The Old Church where we stayed was brilliant and the village of Shiptonthorpe was so pretty and everybody so friendly as we're ours hosts Ian and Susan .

Loved our stay

Absolutely loved this place , so clean and well finished.

As a family of 4 with 2 teenagers the space worked really well for us. Also made use of the lovely bbq . Great hosts who provided a wonderful welcome tray of homemade jam , bread and cookies . Will most definitely be back.

I stayed here for the week and it was better than I expected, we couldn’t complain about anything.

The hosts were amazing and so welcoming to us both, they were very helpful and made our stay there a delight. I would definitely recommend this place and I hope to return here in the future. Thank you
