I had a lovely time visiting this house, which was beautifully presented and had a fantastic garden. The location is good for anyone looking to explore the area's history and natural beauty being close to Hadrian's Wall and other historic sites. Overall, I was very impressed with the property and its surroundings.

The chapel is extremely spacious with lots of room and a huge garden. We stayed with a small family group but there was plenty of space for more. The stove made it nice and cosy in the evenings and we only wished we were staying longer to make use of the games room and outside space.

A nice place with a lot to do, specially for the kids. The loved the game room.Only negative about the place was that mainly the kitchen was not clean. The stove and the ovens were fatty and laso the plates and cutlery was not very clean. We needed to clean the things before we could use It. We would recommend the owners to clean the kitchen, than it eould be a very nice place to stay.

Idillic retreat

A lovely house in a secluded area of the North Pennines. The garden associated with the house are ideal and the facilities meet the requirements of a rental home. Worked well for our visit, with all people catered for.

Great spot, pictures don't do it justice.

Lovely property, extensive gardens. We were very pleasantly surprised by the size of living and dining areas, they were larger than the images would lead you to believe. Also, the garden is massive, suspect it would be great for energetic kids!

Highly recommend The Old Country Chapel

We had a wonderful stay at The Old Country Chapel! Despite the poor weather, the spacious indoor areas made all the difference. The games room, with its foosball table, pool table, magnetic dartboard, and games machines, was a big hit, especially with the three teenagers in our group. The property was perfect for two families, with plenty of room for everyone to relax. Highly recommended and would happily stay again!

Weekend away with friends

We had a lovely weekend with our friends, 2 families getting together, my 8 year old loved playing in the very large garden and we all loved the games room, plenty of things to keep us all happy! The kitchen facilities are great and had everything we needed! The rooms are really big and the teenagers enjoyed having TVs in their rooms, massive selection of DVDs. We have already said we will visit again :)

Old Chapel

Property was very nice and exceeded all our expectations. It was the nicest and the best vacation rental we have ever had. The country around the area is absolutely beautiful. We spent the entire week in the area around the wall except for one day traveling to Glasgow, one day traveling to Edinburgh and one afternoon at our son's wedding in Gretna. jpc
