The Little Chapel was tastefully furnished and well equipped. I really appreciated the outdoor bath and the sun loungers in the hot weather. There was a very generous welcome pack provided (tea, coffee, sugar, milk, eggs, butter, bread, granola, marmalade and biscuits) all from the Farm Shop on site. I had breakfast at the Farm Shop cafe one morninRead moreg but used the nice Combo oven and hob in the hut to cook. There's also a small fridge-freezer. It's in a fairly quiet place and felt very private. Hide

We had a lovely stay in this property! It was clean, comfortable and, once the log burner got going it was so very warm and cosy! The location was ideal for walks up the Devils Dyke, as well as an easy drive to all of the surrounding villages. Colin and the rest of the team were all fantastic, and so helpful and welcoming!
