  • "Chris was very welcoming."

    The Old Chapel is a great base for touring. Lovely views to wake up to amd for that early morning walk. Very comfortable and well equipped. Lots of lovely local walks.Local shop in Lerryn, and anything else relatively nearby. Road outside is busy but ok. Fowey and Cornwall super dog friendly so days out were always great.

    A very comfortable converted chapel with huge picture windows showing off the beautiful views across the Cornish countryside. Peaceful and quiet location with lots of walking opportunities from the front door! Also, with easy reach of various lovely beaches and gardens. I would highly recommend this fantastic holiday home.

    Chris, the owner was extremely helpful when required though there wasn’t really anything wrong with the property. Chris provided lots of advice and made us feel ‘at home’. The Chapel is incredible, lots of room as well as an extremely interesting layout on 3 levels. Lovely quiet peaceful relaxing holiday for all. The scenery from the huge windows is outstanding! All in all 100% happy!

  • "Three of us and two dogs stayed here for a week in September and had a great time exploring the area."

    Visiting many local places and also went to Port Issac. Many gardens and national trust places seen as well. Property was very spacious and dogs enjoyed it . The only thing was the field opposite was really unsuitable for the dogs and us to walk through. The old chapel had everything we needed. Host was great.

  • "The old chapel is a wonderfully situated gem in the heart of the Cornish countryside."

    The area offers stunningly beautiful walks and views that are trully breath talking to behold. It's close to Fowey harbour where for a small fee you can enjoy a short ferry ride over to the harbour town is is utterly beautiful, with cute little boutique shops and lots of eateries to dine at. Our host Chris was more than helpful and make our stay as welcoming as possible. This property has history and beauty and if the walls to speak we would be enthralled, I'm sure with the stories it would have to tell. We spent our evenings by the log fire playing board games and watching films from the great selections provided. I was there with a elderly family member so we didn't cover all of the other things to do around that part of Cornwall but still we had a memorable time. perfect place for a family get away I wish it was longer.

  • "Beautiful property and super friendly helpful owner."

    We had a great week there, thanks. Facilities only got 1/2 smiley face but through no fault of owners as property was as described. It was only because it was our first time away with our 14 month old boxer dog (who has rubbish recall at moment) and we didn't appreciate how much you need enclosed outside area which property doesn't have. There are lovely walks and field opposite but my dog had to be on lead all the time. Absolutely my fault for not reading description properly.

  • "We had the most wonderful time in the Old Chapel."

    The owner was so friendly and available anytime needed. We found it was situated within easy driving distance of many beautiful places. The Eden Project for example was around 35/40 min drive away. The views of the surrounding countryside were beautiful. Especially as the sun set in the evenings. The house itself has many wonderful and original features and all the comforts you would need. I would recommend staying here to anyone.

    The 2 ferries walk is definitely worth doing. Several gardens nearby - we enjoyed the Hidden Garden. Friendly, helpful host. The Old Chapel is an unusual & comfortable base.

  • "Beautiful place, very comfortable and clean."

    The owner was very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We took our young dog but as there is no garden we had to take him along the main road at the front of the house to the side lane each time he needed to go out. There is a field across the road but the entrance is a bit overgrown so I didn’t use this. Overall a beautiful house, very spacious, comfortable with gorgeous views across the countryside. Would recommend for a relaxing stay especially with the log fire and jacuzzi bath!

  • "An absolutely lovely stay in a gorgeous setting."

    The chapel is spacious and well stocked with everything necessary to make happy holiday memories. The WiFi was a bit hit and miss, but that was fine for us as we were determined to keep off our phones. We also made an effort not to use our cars and Fowey became a regular haunt and enjoyed the coffee at Brown Sugar Cafe. The walk up the hill was a bit of a shock but after a week we soon got used to it. Loved our time at the chapel!!!!

  • "We arrived on a grey drizzling Friday evening to be met by Chris who welcomed us to the Old Chapel."

    First impressions were very favourable a stunning property in the heart of Cornwall. The weather improved on Saturday and for the rest of the week we enjoyed blue skies. Chris was extremely friendly and helpful during our stay and we enjoyed our chats with him when we got back from exploring Cornwall at the end of the day. The property was clean and comfortable the en-suites didn’t disappoint either the only complaint we had and it’s a minor one was whilst looking at the beautiful sunsets in the west it was hard to watch the television due to being dazzled by the sun. It would be difficult to put up some kind of blinds and to be honest the sunsets were a small price to pay ………………………………………………….……..Jon Janet and Stan

The property

Fowey 2.6 miles via the Bodinnick Ferry.

This converted chapel is a unique retreat based in the small town of Lanteglos, close to Fowey and in the heart of what is considered Du Maurier Country on the South Coast of Cornwall.

Hosting three bedrooms, The Old Chapel welcomes families and friends seeking a rural getaway with easy access to the attractions of South Cornwall.

Relax in the sitting room with the large gothic style windows providing superb rural views, or make use of the wall-mounted TV for a family movie night.

The kitchen/diner can be found in a mezzanine area just above the sitting room, complete with a selection of appliances and a dining table for all to gather round.

Each of the bedrooms are thoughtfully furnished to provide comfortable sleeping areas, with a choice of two doubles, one with a convenient en-suite shower room, or the twin room which is perfect for the little ones.

There is also an attractive bathroom which features an alluring Jacuzzi bath, so you can enjoy a soothing soak to help recover from a day of rambling the outdoors.

Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy exploring Cardinham Woods, offering excellent walking opportunities deep into the woods and an activity trail for the younger ones.

Head into the town of Fowey and you will have plenty to see and do – visit the aquarium, museum and St Catherine’s Castle, or explore a host of gardens and stately homes, offering something for everyone.

Sandy beaches await at Readymoney Cove to the south or Polkerris and Par Sands are firm favourites.

The picturesque Lerryn with it's pub, stepping stones and picnic area is a worthy visit.

The Old Chapel is a lovely base with plenty to occupy your time.

About the location

FOWEY

Lostwithiel 8 miles; Polperro 8 miles

This small town and civil parish lies at the mouth of the River Fowey in south Cornwall. The estuary of the River Fowey forms a natural harbour, which enabled the town to become an important trading centre. There is a wealth of things to see and do in and around the harbour. Whether you enjoy getting out on the water, playing golf or finding out more about the history of the area, you are sure to find something to suit the whole family. Harbour cruises leave the Town Quay regularly in season giving you a superb view of the town, but for the more adventurous, rent your own self-drive boat, kayak or paddle board and explore the waters for yourselves! The town is steeped in history, so why not join a guided tour of either Fowey or Polruan? You can even join an owl experience, play golf, go horse riding or pursue your artistic talents with pottery or painting courses. There is the aquarium, museum and St Catherine's Castle, as well as Readymoney Cove, all waiting to be explored. If you get peckish, or fancy something thirst quenching along the way, there is a plethora of pubs, inns, cafes and restaurants to choose. Whenever you plan to visit, keep a look out for the festivals, fairs, markets and theatre performances on throughout the year. There are many family attractions in the area, including Mevagissey and Charlestown harbours, the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan. Discover them all from this fantastic base!
