Elegant Converted Chapel, Luxury in Forest of Dean

The Old Chapel is a unique and newly renovated chapel situated in Ellwood in the heart of the Forest of Dean. The former Methodist Chapel dating from 1875 has been lovingly and thoughtfully restored to a very high standard - enhancing the charm and character of the original building and retaining original features for use such as the church organ dining room table and pews, the character has been kept but with a modern twist. The large open plan ground floor has luxurious underfloor heating with a spacious, fully equipped kitchen, dining room and lounge with an abundance of seating and a smart TV. There is a downstairs toilet and a large utility area with a washing machine and tumble drier for returning after long, muddy walks or bike rides in the forest and there is a newly purpose built, secure outside shed with bike racks and storage for up to 8 bikes. Upstairs there are four generous bedrooms which sleep 8 people. Three bedrooms have king sized beds, two of which have en-suite shower rooms and a third which shares the luxury family bathroom with the fourth twin bedroom. All bathrooms have underfloor heating. Guests have exclusive access to The Chapel. Parking is on the roadside outside the property. Although there are no parking restrictions in the village, we recommend you park on the roadside opposite the chapel (the same side as the school).
