A charming Grade II listed former Chapel in a tucked away peaceful location

Luxuriously appointed the Old Chapel provides a comfortable and tranquil base from which to explore the delights of Somerset and Wiltshire. With the charming town of Bradford-on-Avon on your doorstep and the Georgian city of Bath close by as well as Longleat, Stonehenge, Castle Combe and many more great attractions you won't be short of things to do. Equipped to a high standard with pocket sprung mattresses, crisp cotton sheets and fluffy towels the Old Chapel provides a great base from which to explore.

The Chapel is situated on the Bath side of Bradford-on-Avon in a tucked away location. It is a lovely quiet spot in an historic row of stone cottages. Parking (which is unrestricted) is on a nearby minor road and although there is a narrow road in front of the Chapel it is not advisable to drive down it as it is very easy to get stuck! It is only a 50m walk from the parking to the front door. You can easily walk to the town centre which is approximately a 15 minute walk, downhill. Please be aware that it is a steep walk back up the hill. Alternatively you could take a bus or taxi. There are a couple of pubs 5-10 minutes walk away, without having to walk down into town. The Castle also serves breakfast. There is an excellent Co-Op supermarket 5 minutes walk away which is open everyday from 6am to 10pm.
On the ground floor is the kitchen/diner and living room. The kitchen is well equipped; from kitchen scales and sharp knives to garlic crushers and hand mixer. There is an induction hob, electric fan assisted oven, cooker hood, fridge freezer, dishwasher, washer/dryer, small microwave and coffee machine.
The sitting room, has a TV, DVD player, comfortable sofa and armchair and is perfect for relaxing in the evening in front of the gas effect fire. There is a cupboard containing a few board games, children's toys, DVD's and novels. The first floor has a shower room with toilet, basin and shower and a bedroom with kingsize bed, floor length curtains and black out curtains. . On the second floor there are two single (3ft) beds which can be made into a superking. There are black-out blinds on the velux windows and reading lights next to the bed. The bed linen is all high quality cotton. The bath and hand towels are all thick, white and fluffy. The house is gas centrally heated.
I like my guests to feel completely at home, and so the cupboards are stocked with basics such as tea, coffee, sugar, olive oil for cooking. I also supply milk and one or two bits and pieces for the beginning of each stay.

Quiet and spacious
A very comfortable and well equipped terraced cottage. If parking next to the property and a back garden are not essential then this is a great base for a family of four or two couples. One of the best places I've stayed at in the last 10 years.

Modern English Cottage
The cottage was everything it showed in the listing, but its charm was truly evident when we entered. The kitchen was modern and had every amenity, the shower was a delight, the bedding was comfortable and warm. The gas stove in the lounge was a cozy spot to enjoy a tea and read a book. Easy to walk to downtown, the Co-op, bus stop to Bath and other towns. Thank you, Dinah!

Beautiful very well equipped cottage in a great location
The old chapel in Bradford on Avon is a stunning property in a great location. The interior is very tasteful, it's spacious and very well equipped. Very cozy and warm. The location is perfect since it's in a quiet location but still in walking distance of the centre of Bradford. Dinah is a great host and communication is brilliant. We loved it, thank you very much!

Super cottage
The cottage was very warm and cosy. It was very clean and well equipped for self catering. Bradford on Avon is a delightful town in itself. But it is close to Bath which is easily accessible on public transport. There is plenty to visit nearby. The surrounding countryside is beautiful and it is a good base for walking as well as exploring.

Could not have been better.
I stayed here with my three adult children on our annual long weekend get together. The cottage is beautiful, clean and bright and had everything that we needed. We can’t recommend it highly enough. Bradford on Avon itself is a fabulous little town; lovely canal and river walks, independent shops and great places to eat. Just a wonderful weekend all round. Thank you.

Medieval village stay
We had a lovely 2 night stay in the Chapel. Good central location for day trips to Bath, Bristol and Cardiff, Wales. Well equipped kitchen, clean bathroom, comfortable beds and quality linen. The village is gorgeous too!
