Brilliant stay.
We had an amazing few days stay. The house provided everything we needed. All very clean and the rooms were spacious. The log burner featured heavily on our stay and gave us a great excise to huddle in the living room to play games and do puzzles. The boys loved the games room and the stream in the garden. Excellent location to explore.

Lovely house with amazing grounds
The Old Country Chapel is a lovely property. Despite being on a road it is very quiet and we never heard any traffic. The rooms are very spacious and the living room is very cosy with the log burner. Bedrooms and bathrooms are great sizes. The games room was brilliant with pool, pinball, darts and lots more. The grounds are amazing with a stream running through and lots of little bridges to cross. There’s a lovely summer house and an orchard. The Chapel is a lovely place to stay.

Excellent house with great grounds
Grounds a very big, kids loved playing in the stream and going over the bridges. The house is a really good size, all bedrooms have plenty of room. shared areas also well sized, excellent fire, wifi was very good and the showers were really good. Plenty of good walking close to the house and loads of attractions within a short drive. If I were to suggest an improvement, the kitchen lacks much surface space

5th visit, still a great place to chill out
A converted chapel so lots of character with lots of great features that make your stay entertaining and different from the usual rental properties. The location is remote but the size of the property and the facilities mean it's perfect for a family get-together where you take out the BBQ and enjoy a drink or two rather than using it as a base/place to sleep. This year we sampled the new fibre broadband which is a huge improvement on the old rural BT service with a good signal / throughput (we could stream music/videos). The garden is huge for a rental property and the owners have gone to a good amount of effort to make the gardens interesting and well kept. There is a stream running through the foot of the garden so common sense is required with young children. That said the garden is so large that I would recommend keeping an eye on small children at all times. Whilst the property is on the main road you never hear any vehicles (there seems to be next to no traffic which isn't a surprise given the location). Across the road (next to house number 8 - turn right once behind the houses) there is access to a bridel way that runs for approximately 4 miles and roughly follows the road back to the A69. For the first two miles it is definitely pram friendly even in winter. The next couple of miles may also prove pram friendly in summer. You can get almost to the next village but the last half mile will need to be on the road.

Wonderful property - A Super Holiday
Staying at The Old Country Chapel was fantastic. The house is large, well laid out and has everything required for a very pleasant stay. We enjoyed the dining area, spacious living room, comfortable bedrooms, huge garden and, of course, the games garage! Situated in a quiet spot with nearby Brampton and Carlisle we had plenty of day trips and lots to do. Walks on the South Tyne Trail and Hadrians Wall were fantastic (even in December) and visiting Carlisle Castle and old Roman forts was impressive and informative. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Overall a great cottage, very well equipped
The cottage was great and well equipped. The games in the garage were very appreciated and a huge DVD collection. The owners left good information on the cottage and area. However we were disappointed that the cottage was on the road and not more secluded. The road was quiet though. Also, from the pictures we were expecting the garden to be private but unfortunately were overlooked by the neighbours. Also, the garden was quite boggy so playing on the grass was a bit difficult. That being said, it was a lot of cottage for the money, grounds were lovely and the owners have taken a lot of thought to ensure there are lots of things to do no matter what the weather.

did not want to leave
Terrific house to call a home whilst enjoying this beautiful part of the Country. Lots of space to relax and quality throughout incl beds, furnishings, kitchen equipment, entertainment and a wonderful garden to top it all. Lots to do nearby, ideal location if you want to enjoy Hadrian's Wall Country and the Northern Lake District, and if you fancy a quick raiding party into Scotland.

Perfect
My family & I stayed here for 2 nights over the weekend,The Chapel had everything we could have possibly needed.The games room in the garage was great for the two teenage boys & also the adults made full use of it.The very large DVD collection on a night was very handy as we played on the family DVD quiz games.The courtesy call from the owners was handy incase of any problems,wifi was best in the kitchen area.Only problem we had was that the Chapel has no sign on it,so we drove past it & had to ask a passer-by,but this is just a little niggle & I'm sure anyone that stays here will love every part of it from the chapel,large grounds,summer house,games room & all the other added extras that are provided. Plenty of places to visit,part of our group enjoyed a day at the South Lakes Zoo,which was just over an hour away,(which is free for children up to the age of 15)?Overall we all enjoyed our weekend & would recommend this to everyone

Absolutely top-notch!
Possibly the best holiday rental we have ever taken. The chapel is huge, but so friendly and welcoming. All the kids had their own room, complete with tv and dvd and ps3! Loved the jacuzzis, the summer house, the games room, and the immense yet immaculate garden.Had a great time exploring the local stunning countryside, including the Lambley Viaduct and Lacy's Caves. Can't wait to go back. Thank you so much!
