Great stay in a beautiful location

As a family of 5 we found the property to be very spacious. Large lounge area upstairs as well as outdoor eating area on the upstairs balcony with stunning countryside views. A very comfortable, relaxing stay with great access to local walks, national trust properties and the coast. We would recommend.

Lovely stay

My friends and I found the cottage and the location lovely with a beautiful landscape to view. We all enjoyed our stay even during the rain which did not dampen our spirits as there was a lot of exploring to do in the area. Thank you for your lovely welcome, you were a pleasure to communicate with.

Perfect retreat

Booked for 4 nights a base for my wedding. Property was perfect and adapted well between the chaos of getting ready for a wedding, a peaceful break for 2 and finally as a great family house. Had everything we needed and can't wait to rebook

Dissapointing

Property difficult to find due to poor description on website. Giving the address as simply 'Battle Road' meant a bit of a search as Battle Road is very long! The property is tired and in desperate need of some maintenance. The wooden weather boards on the outside are falling to pieces and the garden area overgrown, making the inside dark and dingy. The rooms were not very clean and bedroom 3 in particular very dusty (as well as being way too small for the 2 people claimed it could accommodate). The biggest concern was the rotten timber deck above the garage. A piece of artifical grass had been put over it hiding a large hole - which I sprained my ankle on when I found it. The house is also right on a busy B road. As it was hot we had to have the windows open, which meant that it was very noisy. When the traffic starts (about 5am) you are awoken by an earthquake as each vehicle passes. We did not get the second fan that we were promised either. To top our stay off we were subsequently charged £29 by the owner to fix a shower fixing which was already broken when we arrived. We were going to point this out to the owners but as they didnt pop in and say hello we couldnt. BTW - The shower fixing is £3.99 in screwfix. All in all a very dissapointing stay.

It is with sadness, but not surprise, that we read this review as we are aware that it was written within hours of us having to regrettably report and make a small charge for damage caused to the cottage by these guests, which received a hostile response. We trust that future guests will take note of our previously consistent 5 star reviews and view this current review accordingly. We welcome all feedback, good or bad, and encourage guests to raise any concerns with us during their stay, so that they can be addressed immediately. Sadly, the guest failed to communicate at all during their stay, despite our attempts to contact them to check that all was well with their stay. We have taken on board and rectified areas that require addressing as we want guests to have an enjoyable stay at The Old Chapel. Location: the postcode provided in the listing address takes guests directly to the cottage but we have added further detailed directions also. All guests are encourage guests in our pre-arrival email to contact us should they have difficulty locating the property. The property is correctly located in the description as being adjacent to the B2096. Exterior: we are aware that a small section of weatherboarding requires attention and a builder has already been scheduled to complete these works at the end of the summer. Thank you for bringing our attention to the timber decking on the balcony, this was addressed within hours of being notified via this review and do not understand we were not notified at the time. The main garden is mowed and weeded regularly. We have notified the cleaner of these comments and follow an enhanced COVID cleaning schedule. With regards to the smaller bedroom, the property listing notes that the room size is small when the pull out bed is erected. The cottage is inspected between guests and the shower was not broken prior to arrival, damage was incurred during the stay and requested contribution to cost (£29) included installation. We pride ourselves in our communication, making ourselves available to guests 24 hours a day, with 2 mobile phones, 1 landline, email and VRBO messaging. We visited daily with the exception of one day (when we messaged instead), but the guests were not in. We also messaged the guests on another occasion, with no response. The second fan, offered in the pre-arrival message, was not requested, but we will leave additional fans for guests. We hope that these comments provide reassurance to future guests.

Perfect country escape with everything in easy reach

We had the most wonderful stay at the Old Chapel. Our hosts were so accommodating and offered helpful & welcoming communication throughout, along with lots of extra touches to make our stay perfect. The house was very spacious, well equipped and ideal for our needs with two small children. The entire house had a warm and cosy feel for such a spacious home. We loved the stairs up to the main living area with its fireplace and balcony opening out to the most spectacular views. We stayed during the summer but would be keen to book again during the autumn or winter, as it would be just as stunning and a whole different experience. The village was the perfect location to drive into Hastings and Battle. If our children were older, we would have explored some of the local walks. Our hosts provided a lot of helpful info for walkers. If you are still reading this, I won’t waste any more of your time - go ahead and book!

Wonderful tranquil chapel

The chapel is located next to a farm so from the moment you arrive you begin to relax. Pubs, supermarkets and takeaway food are only minutes away by car. Everything you see in the description is exactly what you get. The bed are all comfortable and you can choose how you want beds in bedrooms 2 & 3, which was great for our family. We enjoyed every moment here and will hopefully stay again. The Marshall & Law Family 👫👨‍👩‍👦

Great base for relaxed and comfortable holiday!

We'd like to thank Helen and Neil for a great break. Myself, my partner and our 4 boys had a great time. The Chapel is extremely comfortable and well equipped. The only downside we experienced was the heat and although the children's bedrooms downstairs were bearable the master suite was an oven, luckily we had taken some fans as we knew the forecast. The Chapel offered lots of space so all the boys were able to have down time away from each other but loads of space for us all to eat together and play board games in the evening, the little balcony upstairs a lovely place to sit of an evening. Overall it's a perfect place to be. The pub up the road is lovely, I would highly recommend the steak and guiness pie! 😋

We are glad you had a lovely time and yes, your stay coincided with the August heatwave, the next village along recording the highest temperature in the UK for two days in a row! Glad you brought a fan as we could not buy any for love nor money during those couple of days, but we will make sure that one is put in the wardrobe for use in the future. Best regards, Helen and Neil
