The Old Chapel is an excellent little cottage. It is cosy, warm, comfortable and well equipped with everything you could need. The conservatory is fantastic and a lovely place to sit with a cuppa watching the sheep in the field behind or watching the sunset. There is ample parking and a secure gate so that dogs can have a wander round the garden. There is a lovely walk from the cottage along the canal/navigation through some lovely villages and back to the cottage (about 8 miles). The cottage is handy for Beverley, Driffield and the lovely beach at Mappleton. In the village of Brandesburton the Dacre Arms is recommended for meals as is the Deep Blue fish and chip restaurant. For food items there is a Budgens corner shop but plenty of supermarkets in Beverley which is not too far away. All in all we had a great time and would definitely return if in the area. Thank you.
