The Tiny Chapel with Hot Tub

Beautiful furnishings, linens and really comfy beds. Hot tub was great too. Shower pressure really good. Well equipped kitchen with tea coffee and sugar provided.

While the wine was greatly appreciated, a small bottle of milk in the fridge is a must. Also to lift the chapel to this price point a small welcome hamper showcasing some Northumberland fayre would be a lovely touch. Need robes to be provided for the hot tub or at least mention in listing they are not provided.

- The hot tub is great although overly foamy when the jets are on; perhaps too many chemicals in it as hot tubs are not normally like this - The view from the hot tub (back of property) is great - As it’s a converted chapel it has character, the high beams are a lovely feature - The beds were pretty comfy - The bath is good though a little small - We were allowed to check in slightly early though in the end we didn’t as we went into Hexham.

The property felt very ‘business like’ and not very homely compared to many properties we have stayed in. Just last week we stayed in another property that felt as if it was someone’s home as it had every amenity you could ever need or imagine, but we never got that vibe here. The potential of a beautiful building, with lovely views, a nice hot tub and being in a great county - is amazing. However it felt as though perhaps these great features are heavily relied on for guests’ experience and meant that there was a lack of focus elsewhere as elements felt a little tired. For example, the metal chairs outside were very rusty, the barbecue was cheap, full of ash and also rusting. The clothes horse barely stands up, there was one disposable dish cloth for both washing up and wiping sides down, barely any washing up liquid left when we arrived. The lawn wasn’t mowed and the various bits of grassland to the sides of the property (not the fields that obviously don’t belong to the property) are overgrown with nettles and long grass. A bit of TLC there would be good as it looks a bit scruffy. These last few points are relatively trivial individually and we’re not worthy of being raised to the owners whilst there, but reflect our overall feeling that the property is a little unloved. We booked for 3 people, yet were only 2 bath towels provided. I did text the host about this and he advised it must have been a glitch in the booking process, but it would be impossible to provide another towel until the day we checked out. This was a little disappointing and there was no apology, and all he suggested was to use a bath mat to dry our 3 year old… not what you expect really for a luxury property. Finally, it’s on quite a busy road so we were woken up by traffic a couple of mornings, which spoilt the countryside feel.

Everything!
