Unless you have a book - a very big book - of superlatives - and I don't! - then this review absolutely won't do justice to this exceptional holiday let. It not only does exactly what it 'says on the tin' - but so, so much more. Four of us stayed at The Old Chapel for 4 days and nights in November. Whilst it is in our home county, it is, without a doubt, the most relaxing place we have ever stayed in anywhere in this world. All plans to walk, read books, do craft work etc fell by the wayside from the time of our arrival. I fear we were too idle even to take any pictures of the Old Chapel - such was our level of relaxation. Set in beautiful countryside, with lovely views - this was quiet and calm at its very best and we so loved that. Even the first frosts of the year were so beautiful to see. The whole property is beautifully furnished and equipped. There is nothing we needed that hadn't been provided - even down to a complete range of spices! I have never seen so many drinking glasses styles provided for every possible type of drink! Then the hot tub and the log burner - hence the girls saying 'I've gone to heaven'. Having planned meal menus and taken along foods to cook - it won't come as any surprise that, being so relaxed - we were beckoned and then seduced [several times] by the local pub - The Stiperstones Inn - for meals and drinks. A very friendly, community orientated, pub providing real ale and a menu range to suit all tastes and pockets. Really great hosts here in Phil and Lara - who's prime motivation is making your visit enjoyable and what you want it to be - and not their convenience and profit. We had beautifully cooked meals and so enjoyed them. The Sunday roast was quite exceptional. I can't speak too highly of this holiday let folks - many such reviews say something like - we'll be back. We went one better and booked the same weekend in 2015 after being there for less than a day such was our delight in this property and the almost magical relaxing effect it has. So don't pass this by folks - it's more than a gem. We made no where near the use we could have of the offerings of the property or the surrounding countryside - but came home rested, recharged and read to do December!

Amazing place to stay in the beautiful Shropshire Hills . Everything was perfect with the added bonus of the wonderful hot tub. Good food friendly staff/locals at the nearby Stiperstones Inn.

The cottage was one of the best stocked properties I have ever been in for a holiday.
The standard of facilities and decoration were second to none.
It seems that the owners have thought of everything including childrens dinnerware.
The activities cupboard on the mezzanine floor was a treasure trove of different things to keep my 5 year old entertained.
The cottage is perfectly positioned to take advantage of the surrounding countryside.

Everything was perfect.
From the moment we saw the cottage we fell in love with that. Perfect place in a perfect location in height with an amazing panoramic view which makes you to die for a walk.
There was a beautiful pub, a small grocery shop and a spring near by.
Phil and Lara made a beautiful rental holiday cottage. They carefully thought about all the comfort that a family needs in holiday.
Hot tub was above all.
There are plenty things must to do in Shropshire, which are wonderful for a family day out such as: Victorian Town model, iron bridge, Shrewsbury castle and many. We absolutely enjoyed our stay in the Old Chapel Cottage and recommend that to everyone who needs peaceful or adventurous holiday.

The Old Chapel is a beautiful and tastefully decorated building and the view is delightful, especially from the hot tub! Phil and Lara were very accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed, including a fresh loaf of bread baking for us in the kitchen on arrival. The amenities are excellent and everything is kept to a high standard. We had a great week, and having the Stiperstones Inn on the doorstep a few minutes walk away meant that we didn't always have to cook for ourselves! Excellent food and booze in the pub. I would definitely return again and would also recommend the chapel to others. A great properly run by lovely people. Hope to see you again!

The hot tub was just fabulous, along with the stunning views. The log burner provided caveman TV in the evenings! Just splendid to chill and absorb the many features of The Old Chapel. The local pub, Stiperstones Inn, we liked and its regular customers are very friendly. We highly recommend eating here as the food was very good and excellent value. We enjoyed exploring the surrounding walks the breath taking views. We especially loved the mountain biking at Eastridge Woods. The downhills are awesome. And finally the reward of quality beer served at the Stiperstones Inn.

We really enjoyed our stay at the old chapel it was a nice quite break.
The weather was a bit to be desired but we made up for that by sitting in the hot tub and in front of the log burner at night.
Phil and Lara were good hosts and the meals at the Stiperstones Inn were excellent.

We could not have stayed for 2 weeks! No their was nothing not to like about the holiday other than the local pub ran out off spare ribs on my last day but that could have been due to me having them for 4 nights out of 6.
