  • "The property was very comfortable, well maintained and ideally located for us in a quiet area whilst within easy driving distance of many tourist attractions."

    The kitchen facilities were excellent and the welcome pack was much appreciated. We did not make use of the hot tub or sauna. We were surprised that there was no hairdryer but many thanks to Claire who helped to resolve this issue. We were only one couple so had plenty of room but in our opinion the property would feel very cramped with 6 adults. Whilst there are 3 bedrooms the smallest one has no wardrobe or drawer space and is more suited to children.

    Thank you for your feedback. The hairdryer issue is being addressed as is the storage issue in the twin room. I agree that 6 adults would need to be very fond of each other to enjoy the Chapel but most larger groups do include children. Property Owner

    Had everything you needed and the hot tub and sauna were brilliant bonuses. Thank you to Rose the owner for the welcome gifts, they were most appreciated, we would definitely like to return in the future.

  • "Absolutely lovely."

    Suited our needs exactly. Can't fault it. Comfortable and located in a great area with so much to do. Loved the hot tub to come back to after a long day out even if it was raining. Really hope to return. Housekeeper lovely too and sorted out the glitch promptly.

  • "Such a lovely cosy house with everything you need for a relaxing break away from home."

    So much to do in the area and all within a 35 min drive at the most, many much less than that which is great if you have little people with you as we did. Angie the housekeeper is lovely, easily contactable should you need her and her local knowledge leads to lots of recommendations of places to visit- and eat

  • "Lovely place to stay."

    Excellent facilities, although bins in the bathrooms or bedrooms would have been handy and a full size mirror would have been nice. Hot tub and sauna were such a treat as we had glorious weather. Would definitely recommend this property and would love to stay here again. Was lovely to meet Angie the housekeeper, she does an amazing job and was very helpful with any questions we had. Perfect base for exploring this beautiful part of Norfolk.

  • "We stayed at The Old Chapel during April 2023 as a family of four (children aged 4 and 9) - our stay was amazing, the cottage is very well presented with excellent facilities and being well stocked."

    The welcome pack was a lovely addition and made settling in even easier! The hot tub and sauna were both big hits and enjoyed by us all. The setting is beautiful, and the surrounding area great to explore including Foxley Woods which was a good walk, and other destinations near and far. Angie was lovely, we had a couple of questions which she was able to help with and nothing seemed too much trouble. We will certainly be coming back to The Old Chapel, and thank you so much for letting us stay here!

The property

Bawdeswell 0.9 miles.

Situated in Foxley, near the charming village of Bawdeswell in Norfolk, lies The Old Chapel, a characterful, three-bedroom converted chapel.

Completed with original features, displaying lofty ceilings, stained-glass windows, and a church pew, whilst boasting a private and delightful rear garden, with a hot tub and sauna in tow, the holiday home welcomes six guests, perfect for a family getaway to the Norfolk countryside.

Enjoy the well-equipped kitchen and utility, helping to ease your self-catering stay, whilst gathering around the grand dining table, encompassed by traditional dark furniture.

Venture to the sitting room, perfect for reading one of many books on offer in front of the woodburning stove, or perhaps take advantage of the rear suntrap, by unwinding in the hot tub after a quick session in the sauna.

By climbing the stairs, you'll find three spacious bedrooms, including a king-size with en-suite shower room, a double, and a twin, all with TVs and access to the main bathroom, offering flexibility for your whole party.

If you can tear yourself away from The Old Chapel, travel to Bawdeswell, where you can enjoy a cup of tea and slice of cake at Hamptons @ The Barn, a glass of wine at The Old Workhouse Bar, or simply stock up on the essentials at the nearby Morrisons.

A short journey away you will arrive at Norfolk Llamas, a family-friendly activity, inclusive of nature-filled treks, Swanton Morley Waterfalls, and Pensthorpe, a stunning 700-acre nature reserve, perfect for woodland walks.

Bird watching is popular across the local landscape, whilst Gressenhall Farm & Workhouse is an idyllic setting for your entire party, both a museum and farmland, or perhaps head to Dereham Windmill, a Grade II listed landmark, enveloped by luscious grounds.

By car, reach Sculthorpe Moor Nature Reserve, where you can observe the everyday of many wildlife creatures, Raynham Hall, hosting regular events from its grand country estate, and Fakenham Museum of Gas and Local History, an ideal attraction for budding historians.

Enjoy your visit to Norfolk by choosing The Old Chapel as your base.
