The chapel was so cute and fictional--exactly what we wanted for our visit! Everything was clean and the bed was very comfortable. It would have been nice to have a fan for both levels (there is one in the bedroom space), but we made due during the record heat wave.

What a great place to stay.
I spent two nights at Chaple with my dog and I found the accommodation to be well laid out and very comfortable. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and it was great to find those little touches that make the difference such as milk in the fridge treats and even towels for the dog.
Can't recommend this property enough and would recommend it to anyone wanting a quiet but extremely comfortable stay.
This is an excellent find. Great cozy feel to the chapel and so well equipped. The owners seem to have thought of everything. Absolutely spotless. Good location in the village will definitely visit again.
Wonderful property in a lovely village. Plenty of attractions in the surrounding area. Village pub about 200 metres away. During our stay there was a busy market in the village hall on Saturday morning. Our host was most helpful and the welcome pack was most appreciated
A real gem! The chapel is cited in a pretty little village just five minutes from the nearest pub which serves delicious tasty food at reasonable prices. The chapel has been sensitively renovated and offers everything you could need for a short stay. Denise leaves a welcome pack which was much appreciated. The chapel is spotlessly clean and very well appointed. We had a fantastic stay. Thank you, Denise.
Just got back from a three night stay at this beautiful converted chapel. The cottage is as gorgeous as it looks in the photos. Clean as a whistle, warm and cosy. Everything you could need is here plus some lovely little touches.The bed is super comfortable and the walk-in shower is amazing.The check-in was seamless and we were greeted with a lovely treat of wine, pain au raisin, coffee pods and fresh milk.There are lots of interesting things to do in the area and we can thoroughly recommend the Kitchen at the Wharf cafe in Langport.

Most delightful accommodation. Thoughtfully furnished very well equipped with domestic items. Cutlery, crockery and glass ware more than adequate. Bed extremely comfortable. Torches provided for lightning the way to the bathroom. We personally took our own plug in night light - plugged it in at bottom of the stairs. Might be a small improvement. Overall we had a fantastic week. Thank you.
Unique experience to stay in a converted 20th century chapel. Very clever design that keeps in with the character of the chapel( original stained glass windows) whilst ensuring all the homely comforts such as power shower , coffee machine, excellent wifi and mod cons all provided. The owner has taken pride in making sure the furnishings are of a fine quality. Just right for a restful romantic week away from it all but set in a historic and rural part of Somerset. Easy access from the M5 tooThe owners are very responsive and will try to ensure your stay is positively memorable. Neighbours are also friendly with a number of dog walkers too! A warm, fresh and clean Chapel that has oodles of character and decorated to an excellent standard that brings a smile to your face on entry. I scored several hubby bonus points with the Mrs who looved staying here....

Himmlisches Ferienhaus in einer ehemaligen Kapelle
Wir wurden sehr freundlich mit Croissants und einer Flasche Wein empfangen. Die umgebaute Kapelle ist ein wunderschönes Ferienhaus und ideal für zwei Personen. Das Haus ist perfekt eingerichtet hat ein schönes großes Bad, einen komfortablen Schlafbereich auf einer Galerie und ein schönen Wohnbereich. Es liegt sehr zentral, um schöne Ausflüge in die Umgebung zu unternehmen, z.B. nach Glastonbury, ans Meer oder zum Wandern nach Exmoor. Zwei Minuten zu Fuß ist ein gemütlicher Pub mit sehr leckerem Essen. Auch die Nachbarn sind alle ausgesprochen nett. Wir würden jederzeit wieder dorthin zurückkommen. Sehr empfehlenswert.
