It oozes character. It is situated on the edge of the village of Yorkley (population approx 1,000). The cottage is 80% pine clad (walls and ceilings) giving it a very warm and relaxing feel throughout. It has been furnished to give a 'home from home' feel all in wood and/or neutral colours. The general atmosphere is rustic, with mostly wooden floors and brick window cills, it is something 'a bit different'. Our favourite time to stay in the Forest is the first week in June when all the trees and plants are newly out and the view from our sofas is stunning. There are two bedrooms, one upstairs and one downstairs. Both rooms have a double bed, so the cottage accommodates four people comfortably. The upstairs bedroom is on a mezzanine overlooking the lounge. There is no door to this room. The downstairs bedroom is just off the lounge and could affect light sleepers. The only things that wake you up is birdsong! The lounge/dining room is large, and looks larger because it has 14 foot high ceilings, mostly covered in wood panelling. We have three sofas in the lounge, all of which are comfortable - who doesn't want to relax on holiday? The beast of a wood burner in the lounge gives a very relaxed feel in the evenings, along with some candles which we keep there. Very romantic! The kitchen is small but very well stocked as we like cooking (and eating). There is a dishwasher and a 6 foot tall fridge/freezer - more than enough to store a week's food for a family. The garden is small, but there is a forest on the doorstep. We have two reclining garden chairs in the back garden and a small BBQ should you wish to 'eat out'. We hate holiday places that have no character, and have tried really hard to make sure that our one does . It is very well furnished so there should not be anything missing for your stay, but if there is, please let us know! If you are bringing a little one with you, we keep a travel cot, stairgate and high chair in the cottage. A really romantic place to escape, leave all your troubles behind and just chill! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen -

Very nice lady. The Old Chapel was beautiful, cozy, homely and had everything that you could possibly need for your stay. So much thought has been put into the decor, the renters needs whilst away from home…. Such a wonderful experience. The description of the chapel was spot on and the wonderful wooded location was not exaggerated at all, we experienced, rabbits, squirrels, sheep literally just outside the doors….. we were able weather wise to sit outside and take it all in and savour the moments. The neighbours were friendly and informative also. We have been so taken up by this picturesque place that we have also booked up for a week in April 2024\. Can’t come soon enough! ##### Tracey D.

The old chapel was heaven the only noise you heard when you woke was bird song. The level of comfort was far superior to anywhere else we have stayed. The old chapel was equipped with everything you needed and more including a folder with anything you needed to know and more. The neighbours are super friendly and everyone stop to chat. The surrounding area was beautiful and peaceful. If you want to go somewhere when life was more simple and unwind and relax then the old chapel is the place to go. It was the most amazing wonderful Christmas break. ##### Emma M. Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### emma p. 9 Sept 2022 Liked: Communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Not tidy and very rude Host We came across a few items while we were staying in the cottage . These are as follows . Cleanliness - bathroom shower plug was full of hair. - Quite dusty in places Bathroom mirror was dirty - Tap in kitchen was dirty - Metal in bathroom had scum on - Rusty Mirrors - Dirty bathroom shelf - Rusty bath plug - When bath was turned on black rust came out of it. Kitchen Kitchen cupboard when you come in stinks of damp. The cutlery stinks of damp. It put me of cooking as it really badly smells. I had to wash cutlery before I used as it smells Out of date complementary biscuits. - the biscuits that were provided were 2 months out of date. 2 went off in June and 2 went off in July. The milk that was in the basket was also out of date. My partner had a biscuit and cup of tea with the milk and the biscuit and had a bad belly the next day. He didn't realize until he checked date next day ( I have pics of biscuits out of date) I messaged the host when we got back as i know she did not live near. She was very rude and said all my pictures i could of got all off the internet. All my pictures are time stamped and it says the location so they were taken at the cottage. The host was well aware of the damp smell as in the cupboards she has things to cover up damp smell. I messaged the Host and said i should be compensated some how. She asked my opinion and i said i would like some money back and she said im a bully and my behavior is unacceptable. She also said she will tell everyone on VRBO that im a bully as i complained about trivial things, Avoid at all cost. ##### emma p.

There is a pub that serves nice food in walking distance. Property had everything you could ask for and was very clean, had a lovely bathroom, log fire and lots of character.

The cottage had everything from a tumbledryer to a huge TV with Netflix and Amazon Prime. The house was extremely comfortable and warm with games, books, an Alexa and a plethora of films. The entire family slept well in the spacious bedrooms, and there was plenty of natural light. My family are very particular about bathrooms, but the lavatory in the house was extremely nice in the sense that it had a shower, a bathtub and in general... nice facilities. Leaflets were supplied for lots of local landmarks and pubs. Finally, the forest outside was extremely picturesque. There are many beautiful nature walks a stone's throw from the house. Everything one would need could be found in the cottage, and we are very satisfied. Thank you for such an amazing stay! Vikram aged 12 ##### Navin C.
