About this property

Perched in Dorstone, Herefordshire, is this stunning two bedroom converted chapel, The Old Chapel.

Enjoying a superb location surrounded by the rich Herefordshire countryside and an interior boasting a wealth of character features, including exposed beams, the original chapel doors, and arched windows, The Old Chapel is perfect for couples or a family of four seeking a truly unique escape.

The property has two off-road parking spaces and a lovely front garden with furniture, perfect for savouring your morning coffee.

Step into the open-plan living space, where you will find a well-equipped kitchen with all you need to conjure up delicious feasts, ready to enjoy at the dining table over a bottle of wine.

On warmer days, why not fire up the electric barbecue out in the rear garden to indulge in a spot of alfresco dining?

After dinner, kick-back and relax on the plush HEALS sofas in front of your favourite show on the Samsung TV, as the woodburning stove crackles nearby.

Within the space, you will also find a small workstation, ideal for those wanting to catch up on work whilst away.

Completing the ground floor is a handy utility and cloakroom for your convenience.

Make your way up the stairs, where you will find a seating area to curl up with a good book, along with two beautifully presented bedrooms. Bedroom 1 has a King Size bed with orthopaedic mattress and Bedroom 2 has a King Size zip/link bed allowing for the option of a twin room if required (available on request). Both rooms offer their own en-suites where you can prepare for a day of adventure in style.

Explore your local surroundings, where you will find the welcoming Pandy Inn, once visited by Oliver Cromwell and well-known for being the oldest pub in Herefordshire. Here you can sample the local ales and enjoy hearty pub fayre after a day of exploring.

For a wider selection of amenities, you can head to Peterchurch only 3.6 miles away which offers a well-stocked Co-Op and Post Office, restaurants Casa Lupo, Food for Thought and The Mill.

Be sure to stop at the book town of Hay-on-Wye, where you can visit the fascinating Hay Castle, peruse the weekly Thursday market, enjoy leisurely strolls along the River Wye or take to the waters on canoe or kayak.

For a taste of city life, head to Hereford, home to a magnificent cathedral, the Hereford Cider Museum and Hereford Racecourse.

All this and more awaits at The Old Chapel.

    The village is in a very scenic area with plenty of walking opportunities. The local pub is highly recommended with a very warm welcome and excellent value food and drink.

  • John

    It is a converted Chapel and has been done in a very sympathetic way. When we arrived on the Friday evening the property was lovely and warm with the heating having been put on ahead of our arrival, always a pleasant surprise. Whilst we didn'tcook this time we had a look at the kitchen and can say that it is well equipped with plenty of cutlery, crockery, untensils and mugs/cups.Would fully recommend this property and we will be looking to go back in the future. Thank you.
