Escape everyday life and embrace going off-grid at Wesleyan Chapel...

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.
