Perfect place for a short break, located on the Moors but close to local shops and towns. Will likely stay again. ##### Matthew Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth 1 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Loved the room. Really nicely decorated and great bathroom. Owner provided fresh bread, butter and jam (and a bottle of wine!) Very nice and friendly owners provided suggestions for dinner. Would have loved to stay longer. ##### Elizabeth Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ian 17 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, room comfort, communication We had an absolutely brilliant stay in the Chapel. It is much bigger than it looks with gorgeous high ceilings so it feels very spacious. With a two year old and a large dog, it never felt cramped or like we were on top of each other. And the bathroom is HUGE! We felt incredibly welcomed and will be back without a doubt. Thankyou so much x ##### Ian Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 12 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication Lovely place, easy to access a number of walking paths.

Very comfortable with a good selection of books about the area - including 2 different OS maps, which were very helpful. Within easy walking distance of all Princetown attractions and Dartmoor walks. ##### Erin Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Antony 19 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Nice self contained apartment in Princetown. Generally very good. Bathroom taps didn’t work properly, but the owner did inform us. No shower gel/shampoo. No dog treats or bowls available. Bed very comfortable. Underfloor heating in bathroom brilliant. ##### Antony Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 29 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Pros and cons. Quirky place. Lovely drive over Dartmoor but be aware that this isn’t in Yelverton as the ad says. It’s in Princetown. Not so accessible with buses at night so we had to drive. Property was quirky and host greeted us with the WiFi code and left classical music on for our arrival. Enjoyed our stay. Two negatives were the bathroom taps didn’t work properly. We were advised before we arrived but I have noticed that someone said the same last year and it hasn’t been addressed. The toilet doesn’t flush properly either and you have to jiggle the handle to get the flush to stop. I did report this back but didn’t receive a reply. The kitchenette is a kettle and a fridge and a cupboard top oven in the living area. All this would be adequate but there are no washing up facilities. We were advised that because of restrictions on the property a sink can’t be installed in the main room. I think a washing up bowl maybe could be given and an indication of where to empty the water. Lovely for a short stay with meals out. Wouldnt recommend for a family or a weeks stay though. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adlene 3 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication ##### Adlene Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### David 5 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Communication ##### David Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Phillip 10 Nov 2023 ##### Phillip Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pete 20 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication ##### Pete Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 16 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard 12 Dec 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication All the mod cons and self contained! ##### Richard Stayed 1 night in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adrian 15 Nov 2022 ##### Adrian Stayed 1 night in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 3 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Amazing Fantastic place to stay peaceful and everything you need.. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott 21 Aug 2022 ##### Scott Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Beverley 8 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Lovely a peaceful Lovely quiet peaeful property, great that we could bring the dog too. Great access to the Moors. For some reason though I thought it was actually in Yelverton whihc was what we were wanting becasue my husband struggles with his breathing and hills, The Oratory was at the top of the village on a hill, we got round it by walking slowly :) The host was lovely and left us alone, my only other comment, it would be good to have a washing up bowl somewhere for those that wish to leave everything clean. ##### Beverley Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Annabelle 16 May 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication ##### Annabelle Stayed 2 nights in May 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### david 24 Apr 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Lovely place Location is excellent if your interested in walking on the Moors. Parking is on the street ,but found a space no problem. Chapel room was clean and roomy. Lovely quality of bedding. Had a small problem with the hot water ,on two nights.and we felt cereal should of been offered with the continental breakfast. The owner, Jeanette,was friendly but didn't interfere with our privacy which we appreciated. ##### david Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David 15 Mar 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Just a fabulous place to stay, will definitely be going their again. ##### David Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 10 Jun 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication Great, friendly host.

Jeanette oli erittäin avulias ja ystävällinen. Julkiset kulkuyhteydet ovat heikot, niistä häntä ei voi syyttää. Kylän pubit olivat eloisat. smupala ei ollut samantasoinen kuin muissa paikoissa, joissa olemme vierailleet matkan aikana. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/82CD26012014E1256F3CEB2C70A60FD44C5A7B0F1568293550531.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Vesa Stayed 1 night in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 3 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Clean and well appointed, perfect for a family, breakfast in the fridge and close to the moor and places to eat.
