Everything about the old chapel was great! the decoration was so thoughtfully done by phil and lara, the house is comfortable and cosy and has everything you could need. would be very happy to go again!

The Chapel is a wonderful property set in a beautiful location. We were welcomed by a delicious homemade cake which was just one of the thoughtful touches left by the owners. We enjoyed many walks directly from the house and ended with a pint at the Stiperstones Inn. This has a great selection of food too and has to be the friendliest pub we have ever been to! Definitely recommend a visit or two here. And finally, the hot tub was a lovely end to a busy day. We loved it here and will definitely be back. Thank you Phil and Lara for a wonderful stay.

Everything about our experience from the booking to staying in The Old Chapel was A. This is a gorgeous accommodation, a fabulous environment both inside and outside.

The local people were so friendly and welcoming. Our whole stay was comfortable, peaceful, and sooooo relaxing. We thoroughly recommend a stay here.

Judith

Great cottage and location. The cottage has great facilities and is generally very comfortable. The owners run the pub which is very close and a fabulous village shop with just about everything you can imagine at very reasonable prices. Would definitely recommend staying here if you want walks lots in the surrounding area and relaxation in the hot tub.

Unique cottage . Comfortable and well equipped. Excellent location with stunning scenery a walkers paradise.The village shop is well stocked and the local pub is welcoming and has a lovely menu would highly recommend a visit. A wonderful holiday home for our family get together we will be returning in the future. Many thanks to the owners Phil and Laura.

Everything just fine, could do with a measuring jug in the kitchen. Recommend the Stiperstones Inn. Good food and reasonable prices. The not so little shop at the Inn has everything you need.

The hosts were lovely and welcoming. Such a beautiful and peaceful place to stay would definitely recommend.

A comfortable and well equipped cottage. Good food at the owners' pub at very reasonable prices. The parking is very tight at the cottage & I couldnt get my V60 in but our friends got their smaller Ford suv in. Can't imagine how someone got a Range Rover in. Steep approach road was a challenge for our angina sufferer

Rowanne

Lovely unique property with heart and sole of owners put in to it. We really enjoyed our stay with our teenage kids and black lab, and would recommend to others. As they are also the owners of the village pub eating there is a must as the food was great and the friendly staff villagers made us all very welcome, You could order to take out too!. The village shop just next door to pub was open from 96pm had all we needed after a day's walking on route back up to the hot tub in the Chapel garden to sooth our aching muscles! Thank you Phil & Lara for a lovely stay

The Old Chapel is a home from home stay, in that as soon as you walk in you relax! The views from the patio and hot tub are beautiful across the valley and all you can hear are the sound of the sheep on the hillside. The Old Chapel has everything you need for a comfortable stay, a very well equipped kitchen, great showers, a comfortable sofa in front of the log burner and a large dining table for eating and playing card games in the evening. Just down the road is a friendly pub and shop, and on your doorstep there are beautiful walks in rural Shropshire. We all loved our stay in the Old Chapel.

Adrian

We had a great time. It was nice to see that they had kept on top of things as we stayed a few years ago and can see they have made great changes, such as TV, underfloor heating and bathrooms etc but kept the character. Garden could do with some TLC and flags fixing and ensure bins empty when arrived outside bin had previous occupants dog dirt in and when we left the bags out for collection on Tuesday nothing happened. Taking all the above in dont let that think this is not a wonderful place to stay and although in the middel of nowhere there is still good wifi if you wanted it but we wanted to escape and that we did. Thanks to Lara and Phil for letting us stay in this wonderful place

Perviz

We did not know that parking at the property was slightly difficult.

We had a great time at the cottage. Phil and Lara were very friendly and responsive when unforeseen problems arose. The cottage is a lovely space with a beautiful outside area. The pub is just around the corner, along with Jo's shop, which is like Aladdin's cave. There are also nice country walks you can take directly from the cottage.

Situated in a beautiful peaceful location a very well equipped comfortable house providing everything needed more for a great stay. Weather was mixed but house was cosy with underfloor heating and a stove with fuel and fire lighters at hand. Dog was welcome at no extra charge which was a refreshing change. Hot tub brilliant.

Generally very good , just minor gripes about softness of single bed mattresses and quality of pillows. We understand that it may be personal preferences.

Caroline

This is an unusual and interesting cottage full of character. Very warm and cosy inspite of its height.Lovely views over the fields,large hot tub and easy reach of the Stiperstones Pub which is welcoming and serves great food at a good price.Walks from the door and nearby bog carpark ,and what walks!Some challenging but stunning scenery.Had a great week here.

What a fantastic property perfect location for walks straight from the door . The cottage has lots of character. The rooms are all lovely and comfortable. The pub that owns the cottage is great where you also get 10off the food is excellent I will be booking again

Geraldine

Lovely cosy warm chapel a credit to Phil & Lara,we have stayed at many cottages and this is definitely one of the best, for comfort from the comfy sofas, beds fluffy towels log burner and the very enjoyable hot tub, there is everything you need for a break away, walks close by and the scenery wow, the garden is tiered and has steps from utility but it does state this in the description. Very dog friendly stay and the pub friendly and welcoming

We had a fantastic holiday. The Chapel is like a home from home. The cake on arrival was amazing and a lovely touch alongside the milk and bread. The Stiperstones Inn was also fantastic and reasonably priced. Thank you.

Sharon

The cottage itself is amazing the owners should be very proud ,roll on 2023 so we can come again . THANK YOU AGAIN FOR AN EXCELLENT STAY .

Sandra

Overall we had a lovely time at the Old Chapel. The hot tub was brilliant and the garden area being enclosed was great with the dogs. Its a shame about the parking, luckily extra parking available at the pub but problematic when its raining etc. We had a flood following heavy rains as the grid outside was blocked with leaves. My husband removed the blockage but the hall was very wet for a few days. We did make the owners aware apparently it had happened before.

Nicola

We had a fabulous stay at The Old Chapel! The cottage is much more spacious than it looked on the photos. We loved falling asleep under the stars in the Master Bedroom and watching the sun set as we sat in the hot tub. The lemon drizzle cake, bread and milk was very welcome, especially as our Tesco delivery was cancelled! We had a great time visiting the Silver Mine, Shrewsbury, Ironbridge and the Victorian Village. We also enjoyed Sunday lunch at The Stiperstones Inn and popped along to the quiz night which was great fun. We would love to return again. My only slight bit of negative feedback is I like to sit with my feet up and there was no footstool or pouffe so I had to do a little rearranging of the furniture to get comfortable. Other than that, everything was wonderful and I would highly recommend.

Nicola

A lovely chapel in an amazing location, located up a single lane the property has so much history and character, the views from the rear garden are amazing and offer so much rest and relaxation. The hot tub is fantastic and we spent numerous hours relaxing in there. The local pub is only a short walk away, the food was delightful with very reasonable prices and the local shop which is attached to the pub is a little golden nugget and had everything you need and more. I stayed at the property with my partners parents and our two young children, the only real issue was the noise of the upstairs floorboards which I know cannot be altered due to the age of the property but may be a consideration for people with young familys. Overall the property is located in a peaceful and relaxing setting where you can sit back and recoup. Would highly recommend!!

Excellent quirky property. Had everything you might need. The owners have obviously put in a lot of thought. Lemon drizzle cake on arrival along with bread and milk was a nice touch. Shame we were unable to use decking area due to weather. Would love to return

Clifford

An outstanding residence with an obliging and helpful owner.

Debbie

We loved it here just the road and parking was a bit tight

Had a great holiday and lovely accommodation

Absolutely wonderful place full of character, great garden and hot tub. The walking nr by is lovely and the pub is welcoming serving great food too. Can't fault it, we had a great holiday.

Himali

It ticked every box for us a property of character, all the modern day comforts, with lovely garden space. We made good use of the bbq facilities as well the hot tub, and enjoyed the views of the vast open lands. Having the Owners owned local pub with a 3 mts walk was a bonus as the food was plentiful and generous, as was the hospitality.

Amanda

Beautiful character property with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Plenty of storage and comfortable in a pretty location. Plenty of towels provided and well stocked Kitchen. Lots of quirkyness and reminders of being a chapel, even the organ and hymn books! Hot tub is amazing and well needed after the walks and days out in the surrounding area. Didn't need to cook as local pub The Stiperstones Inn has good food and varied menu advise booking in advance as can get very busy and we went in Winter!. Locals very welcoming and friendly. Will definately be going back and would recommend.Owners Phil and Lara very accommodating as was all the staff and nothing was too much trouble.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Old Chapel. The property has been redeveloped to a good standard and the main area was a delight to relax in, especially with the log burner. Having the hot tub to relax in after a days walking was a real bonus. The Old Chapel is set in the beautiful Shropshire Hills with amazing views. The Stiperstones Inn just minutes away is warm and welcoming. The food was lovely and we found the staff and local drinkers very friendly. We will certainly go back again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Hosts were lovely. Property very nice, lots of quirky touches. Cake, milk and bread very welcome. Definitely worth a visit.

Jonathan

The property suited us well it was warm and welcoming on arrival and equipped to a high standard. The location is peaceful and surrounded by beautiful hills and farmland and lots of footpaths. Local pub and shop both amazing

Rebecca

We enjoyed a fabulous family holiday, with older teens. The Old Chapel was a perfect location in an area of outstanding natural beauty. We did some great walks and runs, exploring locally. The cottage was perfect with a wonderful freshly baked cake on arrival and the hot tub in the evenings that looked out over the rolling hills was idyllic. Local pub did great food, too! Well be back!

Richard
