Property code: OC-DS1031

Set in the picturesque village of Moulton, Yorkshire, this two-bedroom converted chapel is ideal for family getaways or groups of four. The famous Yorkshire Dales start approximately 6 miles away and can be reached by a short drive. The scenic national park is full of stunning walking and biking trails, with deep valleys and rolling hills to admire. If you are feeling energetic take in the views and countryside air by walking part of the coast to coast walk from Richmond to Reeth, at just over 10 miles.

Full of character and historic charm, this holiday home is a cosy, converted chapel with original high ceilings, large arched windows and beams. It includes two levels with a lovely mezzanine. As you enter the property through the arched doorway, there is a hall with a lovely stone-flagged floor and an exposed stone wall. There are coat hooks for you to hang your belongings and store your muddy boots after a long day walking in the surrounding hills. You can then access the kitchen/diner, a beautiful open-plan space with a well-equipped kitchen area. You have everything you need to do some home cooking with a ceramic hob and integrated electric oven, a stylish Belfast sink with Victorian-style taps plus a wooden dining table and chairs. There’s also a utility room with further appliances including a fridge/freezer, washing machine and additional cupboard storage. A convenient shower room is on the ground floor with a shower cubicle, WC and heated towel rail. There are also two bedrooms on this floor. Bedroom one offers a comfortable super-king-size bed (zip-and-link; can be set up as twin beds on request), built-in wardrobes and a chest of drawers. It also has an en-suite bathroom with blue wall panelling, a bath, WC and heated towel rail. Bedroom two has a king-size bed and built-in mirrored wardrobes for plenty of hanging space. The hallway and stairs then lead up to the mezzanine where you’ll find the spacious living/dining room. It has beautiful exposed wooden beams, arched windows that look out over the gardens and cosy, carpeted floors. Curl up on one of the two scroll-end sofas and watch something on the Smart TV. There’s also further seating in the form of another two dining tables and chairs.

Outside, the gardens are the star of the show. Large, grassy and well-kept, they’re bordered by mature hedges, trees, and bushes and there’s a meandering pathway overlooking the adjoining fields. Pick from two pebbled seating areas with rattan furniture plus a table and chairs for al fresco dining and sunset conversations.

The Old Chapel is a little gem. We were concerned about this property not being very warm given that its a converted chapel and we visited in the winter (over the new year), however, it is quite honestly one of the warmest properties that weve stayed in! The heating was responsive and efficient meaning that we were nice and cosy while the storms ouRead moretside raged on! In terms of equipment, we always judge a cottage based on whether we can both make a gousto recipe at the same time without fighting over equipment. Again, the Old Chapel came up trumps. Plenty of kitchen equipment, enough worktop space to both be cooking at the same time and again, the hob and oven were responsive. The chapel was very clean, the bed comfortable and the shower was great too. All in all, lots of space for us to ring in the new year. In terms of location, there are walks around but they involve stiles which our dog wont tolerate being lifted over, so we tended to go a bit further afield for walks. But being located a few minutes away from the A1 (although youd never know it!) it meant that there was plenty of things within reasonable driving distances too. Wed definitely recommend this cottage to stay in. Hide

The Old Chapel has been beautifully restored to provide an exceptional property of great character warmth and comfort. The fully enclosed garden was lovely and we enjoyed spending time there with our dog. We highly recommend The Old Chapel.

Fabulous accommodation in a tranquil setting within a picturesque village. Loved everything about it and will be recommending to family and friends. We will definitely be back and hopefully in the spring or summer months to take advantage of the large but beautiful garden which was an added bonus. Our little westie loved it.

The Old Chapel is a charming and very comfortable holiday accommodation. The four of us really felt at home there. As the weather was fine we went on outings and trips and explored Swaledale and Wensleydale.We also went to Harrogate and Fountains Abbey. One absolute highlight is Ripon Cathedral. We found out that there is Evensong every evening andRead more we recommend to go there and enjoy the choir singing. You could find out on the internet at what time it starts and make sure not to be late. Evensong lasts about 45 minutes. Richmond is also well worth a visit. The old railway station has been turned in a restaurant and caf. In the bakery there we got lovely bread. From the Old Station you can also go on lovely walks - short or a bit longer just as you like. Full marks for everything ! ! Herbert Hide

The Old Chapel was absolutely beautiful. Wonderfully restored, with some original features (including the remaining gravestones in the immaculate, but useable garden). A real joy to be visited by rabbits, squirrels and cows came up to the fence in the next field. Hopefully, we will visit again.
