Escape everyday life and embrace going ‘off-grid’ for a while at Wesleyan Chapel, located on the Bolton Abbey Estate in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales.
Put your screens down and reconnect with nature at this unforgettable countryside retreat, perfectly placed to revel in the acres of uninterrupted scenes of the surrounding Yorkshire Dales. Our latest luxury homestay for up to eight guests, this 19th Century converted chapel exudes history showcasing many original features of the Gothic Revival style, yet a contemporary twist and super stylish interiors create a modern sanctuary for groups of families and friends.
Renovated with every modern luxury in mind, step inside this recently refurbished 19th-century chapel via the picturesque entrance vestibule and find a magical blend of high-quality craftsmanship, rich fabrics, and traditional features. A double-aspect log burner sits at the heart of the room, with original timber beamed ceilings, church pews and arched windows alongside all of the modern home comforts you could wish for on a luxury self-catering getaway in Yorkshire.
Gather your group together in the open plan modern kitchen and dining space, complete with a choice of coffee machines, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and electric aga. Indulge in breakfast at the kitchen island sitting on the high stools, or entertain lengthy evening meals around the large dining table. Standing proud at the heart of the home is the two-way log-burning stove which creates a warming atmosphere, separating the living and dining area.
Catch up in the kitchen or stay cosy by the flickering fireside whilst watching the enticing scenes outdoors in the comfortable living area. A blend of breathtaking scenery and incomparable grandeur combine to make Wesleyan Chapel a truly five-star Yorkshire holiday destination.
Wesleyan Chapel sleeps up to eight guests in four stylish double bedrooms, which can be found down a stone staircase on the lower ground floor. Each bedroom, with its private bathroom, is just as luxurious as the next; rich in personality with characterful furnishings and elaborate wallpapers.
Bedroom one has a stylish 4'6 double bed with an en-suite bathroom comprising a bath and an overhead shower. Bedroom two has a spacious 6' super king bed which can be split into twin beds on request, perfect for children. The family bathroom offers a roll-top bath, perfect for soaking muscles after a long day exploring the Yorkshire Dales. A door leads outside to the terrace with a private seating area in bedroom three, where this is also an ensuite bathroom with bath and overhead shower. Bedroom four offers a 4'6 four poster bed with south-facing views and an en-suite shower room.
The great outdoors won't keep guests inside these pretty walls for long, no matter how sumptuous. Step outside from the lower floor to a garden patio to the South side of the house. Further round with views over the river and fields is a second area with comfortable outdoor seating and a large gas BBQ. Step into the bubbling hot tub to enjoy the panoramic views of the Yorkshire Dales and beyond in perfect privacy and tranquillity.
