About the host
Hosted by Phil McNeelance
We purchased High Chapel in 2003 as a closed Methodist chapel and set about carefully and tastefully converting the chapel to a practical family holiday home for ourselves and our two daughters. We regularly use High Chapel ourselves and have been renting the cottage for about 4 years now.
We never tire of visiting High Chapel and use it as a tranquil resting place from our hectic lives in the Midlands.
Having said that, we love to sail and swim in the bay and regularly run the coastal path to either staithes or Sandsend as part of our regular fitness training for athletics and triathlon events!

Why they chose this property
We love the uniqueness of Runswick Bay with its traffic free environment surrounded by quaint cottages. The views across the Bay from the chapel are totally relaxing and the morning walk along the beach is just so refreshing.
There are fantastic walks from the chapel or a short car journey to Whitby provides ample retail therapy when required!
Runswick Bay is a quiet and peaceful location most of the year and the chapel compliments this with it own unique atmosphere.
