The Chapel

I've stayed in many sykes places over the years.

This house was in a lovely location quite and tranquil. The house was excellent, very quirky being an ex methodist chapel. Also everything in the house was high quality from the accessories in the kitchen to pillows on the bed.

This is the third consecutive year we have stayed at this beautiful retreat, enjoying the amazing countryside, walks and attractions, especially Chatsworth House.

We were not disappointed as the facilities were just perfect for our short stay. The fan was most certainly a welcome addition. Thank you Harriet for allowing us to share The Chapel once again. We might well be back.

Hi, a couple of little things that would make a difference - on approach to chapel the grass could have been cut back and around building hedges cutting - also a few large pots on approach to front door to make it look more appealing -as for the inside cleaning up the dead flies from kitchen window sills would have been a advantage ( apart from that the chapel was very clean, amazing conversion to a dwelling / we thoroughly enjoy our time there .

Kind regards Andy n Di

A really lovely property - very clean, well equipped and comfortable in a fantastic location.

Great location for walking and close to lots of activities in the Peak District.

Had a great stay at the chapel, clean and comfortable and was very well stocked with everything you could wish for, the propertu has plenty of character, the bedrooms were on the small side but plenty of wardrobe space, the main bathroom was downstairs but there is a toilet and sink area adjacent to the bedroom upstairs.

The hoss communication was great and very helpful. Location is quiet but close to Matlock and Chatsworth with a few places to eat not too far away, all in all a great place to stay if you want somewhere to stay that is quiet and comfortable. Excellent value for the price paid.

What a fantastic place!

The Chapel was spotless, unexpectedly spacious and well-equipped. It had everything we needed for a wonderfully relaxing week. The accommodation has such character. Although a cold easterly wind meant that we were unable to make much use of the garden, the wonderfully light interior meant there was plenty of space for relaxing and reading, while the view across the green provided an opportunity to watch hares and birds in the garden. Thoroughly recommended.

Wow what an amazing place, cosy to walk into with the under floor heating.

The owners have done a fantastic job of converting the chapel. Everything you could need beds were so comfy as were the sofas, gorgeous kitchen, equipped well. An ideal place for a base to visit family. A couple of small gripes though, the drain smell in the downstairs bathroom wasnt pleasant, and there was cobwebs on the light and ceiling in downstairs bedroom also seemed to be alot of ladybirds on the kitchen windowsill? Not major i know, but worth mentioning. All in all we enjoyed our holiday here and would stay here again.

Absolutely loved this place.

It was breathtaking to walk in & see such a stunning property. The underfloor heating kept everything toasty warm & the vast space in the lounge & kitchen was fantastic. The property had everything we needed. Loads of games, books, projecter (which my husband will miss immensely). The only downside was no outside tap to wash the dog & no gate to keep the dog in. Other than that small grumble, I cannot recommend this property enough. We’d love to return when the weather is nicer.

Very tidy, very comfortable (especially the beds) & really well equipped; we needed nothing.

This property ticked all our boxes & I'm sure it will make anyone smile. It's in peaceful village, it has a large pub within walking distance & we were both sad to leave. The conversion from chapel to living accommodation works very well & the owners have thought of your every need. I'd happily live there.

Am absolute gem of a place.

Perfectly located for a quiet stay but in easy reach of pubs etc. Accommodation inside was spotlessly clean. Kitchen very well equipped and the beds comfortable. I'd definitely stay here again

A great place to stay.

My daughter and I booked it as a study retreat, so the large dining room table and study desk were fantastic. The chapel was warm and cozy and had everything we needed. Thank you for a wonderful time!

What a find!

A rare situation that the details provided were fine but the reality far exceeded expectations….. Beautiful Chapel, so warm with everything you need. Our Springer loved the under floor heating so much! Beautiful layout with games, a fab book collection and free view tv. Wonderful bath! In the middle of nowhere which was perfect. Garden not fenced in but that didn’t worry us (some dogs may wander) but it’s such a safe relatively car free location. Log burner was so warm! What a wonderful week!

Delightful Chapel, very well renovated and maintained!

Highly recommended!!

Chracterful quirky property in a peaceful location, but needs some attention to detail and maintenance in places.

Examples include poor bathroom drainage (and odour), tired mattresses, blown lightbulbs, general declutter. Otherwise a great property.

What a fantastic place!

Stunning kitchen and living area, very comfortable and a peaceful, quiet location. Will definitely be visiting again.

The Chapel is a delightful property - cosy and homely, yet spacious and quirky.

Dog-friendly with lots of space to run around outside on the neighbouring green. We loved it and will definitely return when visiting family on the area.

The chapel met and exceeded our expectations, the kitchen was well equipped, furniture in the house and garden was top quality and the bedrooms/ bathroom and first floor toilet were excellent.

One word of caution, the step up to the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom is quite deep (around 12 inches) so could be an issue for anyone with mobility issues or for families with young children. The garden in good for dog owners but is not secure so our dog kept wondering off towards a neighbours property and the large common at the front of the house, so we could not leave her unattended. The location was fabulous, so peaceful and tranquil, we were staying during a heat wave and it was easy to open windows to cool the property. We would definitely return and feel it offers excellent value for money.

Stunning cottage beautiful area So well done and maintained Could do with a fan upstairs in summer!

Check in could be earlier and check out could be later

A beautiful building in a quiet, picturesque area of Derbyshire.

The home was extremely clean and tidy, and the large high windows gave it a bright airy atmosphere. If you want to feel like you've managed to 'get away from it all' for a few days, this place would be hard to beat.

The chapel conversion has been done with much thought and care, set back as it is on the village green, we loved the quiet, the space and the surrounding countryside.

Every need has been anticipated, we had a wonderful time and hope to return.

This is our second stay at The Chapel and once again found it a beautiful place to relax and enjoy the surrounding countryside and attractions.

I am sure we will be back next year.

One of the best places we've stayed - practically perfect in every way and we will return!

Such a lovely surprise to see how close we were to the enormous village, perfect for a quick game of ball with the dog in the evening. Definitely worth noting that in the listing. Note that unfortunately the shower seemed to be stuck on "very hot" and we couldn't turn the temperature down, however it wasn't the end of the world. Equally, it might be worth noting in the listing that the garden is not enclosed.

The chapel is a lovely location for a short getaway and had everything we could have wanted

A perfect place for relaxation while being in close reach of a wonderful national park.

A lovely week was had.

Thank you for a lovely Easter weekend at your beautiful Chapel.

We were very comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay.

Loved our stay here - there isnt one negative thing to say.

It was simply beautiful :)

Well-equipped cottage in a lovely peaceful location close to Matlock.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Chapel.

Great base to explore the Peak District. Very warm and homely, very spacious and well equipped kitchen. ( great to find ice cubes in the deep freezer !!!!) Beds were comfortable and lots of hot water.

Lovely property, very clean and warm.

Excellent location and loved the Christmas decorations, especially the tree

The Chapel is excellent accommodation, spacious, comfortable, well equipped and warm.

However I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because the garden was not enclosed, which is one of our tick boxes when choosing a property. Our dog could easily have gotten out, as the property is advertised as having an enclosed garden this was disappointing. A shame the garden was of little use to us it didn't ruin our stay but would have improved it if available as specified.

Wonderful stay in the beautiful restored chapel.

Every detail of the chapel was great , would thoroughly recommend & would love to return one day

Some of the details about the property weren't up to date The plough has closed down The projector not now in use Limited tv channels key safe on property not next door at Wesley house Thoroughly enjoyed our holiday loved the property Fantastic scenery

The Chapel is truly a lovely place for a relaxing break.

Plenty of space, everything you could possibly need and in a beautiful part of the world too. Thank you to our hosts for letting us stay in their home - we were sad to leave.

The Chapel was amazing and probably the best equipped place we have ever stayed.

I would highly recommend and if we are staying in the area again, that's where we will stay.

Absolutely beautiful property with outstanding original features.

Really enjoyed our stay. So peaceful as well.

Really enjoyable holiday .

very tranquil . Immaculately clean property.lovely walks from the door .

A first class accommodation situated in a friendly village.

The chapel is well situated overlooking a very large village green. The chapel is finished to a very high standard and fully equipped. We had a wonderful time in a spotless house, thank you. We were lucky to be in the village for the well-dressing festival and met many interesting locals.

The Chapel provided a safe and welcoming space which was ideal for relaxing.

The levels of cleanliness and the availability of everything you need was just perfect. The owners were very responsive to questions and clearly focus on providing the highest levels of comfort and service. We were delighted with our stay and will be sure to tell our friends and family. Thank you Harriet and Henry. John & Sharon

What a fabulous place to stay.

The finish is modern and yet retained the beauty of the original chapel. The location and village are stunning. Peaceful and a perfect start for lots of walks. We will definitely return

Fabulous place high standards throughout.

Everything we needed for a relaxing break with amenities close by. Thank you for sharing your beautiful property.

Our 2nd fantastic visit to the Chapel.

This is a wonderful conversion, renovated to a high standard. We love the property and the peace and tranquility of the area, the very few locals you come across are very friendly in this tiny village. Very clean on arrival and heating easily adjusted and with a great log burner, downstairs bedroom and walk in shower room/deep bath adjacent are lovely, shower has great pressure, constant hot water. Both beds and seating very comfy with quality towels and bedding. The upstairs bedroom has a toilet and wash basin. Fully equipped kitchen with everything you could possibly need of excellent quality . An improvement since our last visit is the addition of a good size television in the lounge as opposed to the overhead wall projector which was a little difficult to navigate. Plenty of great quiet walks direct from the front door. Maintained to a high standard inside and outside. Keysafe entry, within approx 5 miles from major supermarkets and within driving distance of many peak district areas. Would definitely recommend and will return as we absolutely love it here. An absolute credit to the owners.

Thank you so much for renovating and letting out this beautiful property.

We woke up to beautiful sunshine both mornings. Major bonus this time of year . The chapel has everything you would need for a stay. Beautiful , would definitely stay again

We had a fantastic stay, the chapel has been beautifully converted and has a really homely feel to it.

The kitchen is huge and has everything you need for your stay! The underfloor heating is great after a cold wet walk and the wood burning stove made it cosy at night. Would definitely stay here again!

Lovely property in a good location close to Matlock and Bakewell.

Slight problem with TV but quickly resolved with a phonecall to Harriet the owner. Would definitely recommend if you book you won't be disappointed.

The house is wonderful but the ability to mop and hoover would make a big difference and the job of the cleaner at the end easier.

There was a mop but it required pads which were not there and the hoover didn't suck. Other than this absolutely faultless stay. Thankyou

Fantastic stay at The Chapel.

Very clean and warm on arrival. Beautifully maintained with everything you need. Effective easy to adjust heating, constant hot water, good flow in shower and beautiful deep bath, quality towels provided. Comfy beds and seating. There is an en suite in the upstairs bedroom that is not mentioned in the description. Plenty of storage throughout. The property has a lovely tranquil away from it all feeling and unique, absolutely no light pollution at night. Set in a very small quiet village with lovely walks direct from the property for all abilities. The very large screen TV projector was amazing, works different to traditional TVs but full instructions provided, may struggle slightly if you are not very tall as needs turning on at the ceiling, I am 5ft 8in and managed well. Would have loved to have stayed longer than 7 days in this beautiful property . Harriet and Harry are excellent hosts, no contact key safe entry for arrival but only a phone call away if needed. We had a couple of questions which were responded to immediately. Would highly recommend.

The Chapel is just wonderful.

A real WOW factor. Very modern, but maintaining original features. The mezzanine bedroom with the pulpit...brilliant. plus an ensuite, which was not mentioned in the details. So a bonus! This property has been renovated to a very high standard. The beds were super comfy. Although the Chapel is open plan and spacious, it has such a cosy feel to it. The property is well located for getting out and about. So many places to explore Close by. I would highly recommend the Chapel. The owners have done it proud.

A lovley place,in a beautiful part of the peak district.

. We had a wonderful time .. .perfect

Lovely property in beautiful surroundings.

Points for improvement - a microwave would have been useful, as would instructions for the heating. Sometimes it was too hot and sometimes it was chilly. The fridge and freezer could have done with a clean. The projector was a bit of a faff to use and almost unwatchable during the daytime which was disappointing.

Lovely property, very quiet & peaceful setting for trips out in the surrounding area.

Property very well laid out, comfortable and plenty of kitchen utensils etc.
