The New Chapel

This was our second visit.

Everything that we needed and very comfortable. They layout is excellent with 2 en-suite bedrooms upstairs and a toilet downstairs. The village is very quiet and parking on the street is no issue.

The New Chapel - albeit with a few minor issues - is one of the most unusual and impressive cottages we have stayed in over the years.

The property, and the adjoining Old Chapel have been converted by the owners to a very high standard, and level of comfort. Indeed, you get the impression that you are taking part in TV home design program! Unfortunately there are some small irritating features. The two en-suite facilities and the downstairs cloakroom - although of a very high standard - lack space for toiletries etc (eg the large washbasins use practically all the surface area of its base - so you end up with toiletries precariously balanced around the basin). A storage shelf and some hooks would make life easier. Secondly, both bedrooms - although very comfortable - are much smaller than the photos imply. The beds are large and comfortable but there is very little space between the furniture to move around. Thirdly, small waste bins in the bedrooms and en-suites would have been appreciated. A useful and easy addition would be a second matching bannister on the left side. As an elderly person I found it hard work getting up and downstairs - although I was aware from the photos that there was only a single bannister and was prepared to cope because we liked the look of the property. Would we book the New Chapel again? If we were a few years younger - like a shot! Now, with some mobility problems, probably no. However, despite the niggles, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in what must be one of the most memorable conversions of a historic building. (A little less wind and rain would have helped though!)

Great location, fantastic and very quiet cottage, slept brilliantly.

The conversion is very stylish and a clever use of space. Generally very clean except for a crumb-full toaster and gunky washing machine powder/conditioner drawer, both easy to sort. Kitchen very well equipped for self-catering very well, as ever personal choice would have loved a tea-cosy, admittedly a rare thing these days! First impressions weren't quite so good, although quickly overcome. The plans we had seen showed external cycle storage, so when we found 2 bikes in the cottage, complete with helmets, we did think someone else was staying there for a few seconds. The next thing we saw was a notice about checking out and a demand to strip our beds and put sheets/towels etc. in laundry bags. This made me feel contrary and want to start muttering about 'paying for clean cottage, not cleaning it' but I did strip the beds in the end! Then we found a note justifying the lack of ornaments and books. Actually don't mind about ornaments at all, the cottage just doesn't need further decoration. But if those bikes went outside where they belonged there would be room for a lovely bookshelf. Holiday cottage books are great! There were a couple of wooden furniture/storage units that in many cottages would contain board games/DVDs etc. but which had little or nothing in them, which we felt was a missed opportunity. Got past all that and really did enjoy our week in a lovely cottage and superb area. Beverly Minster, Sewerby House, RSPB Bempton Cliffs, Spurn Point and the Wilberforce House and Sreetlife Museums in Hull were all highlights, and we loved the charm of Hornsea Mere, Town Museum and seafront. Thanks for a great stay.

The New Chapel is very comfortable and a great base for exploring the East Riding of Yorkshire.

We have stayed in the Old Chapel a couple of times, thought we would try "next door" for a change - both are lovely conversions. There are still places we want to explore in the area so will be back!

Stunning property, beautifully done out throughout and the hosts were very quick to respond when we contacted them with a minor issue during our stay.

Can definitely recommend.

The property was very nice and convenient unfortunately there is no shop or pub and had to go into hornsea for everything which wasn't far.

The cottage it's self was perfect and the beds were so comfortable the welcome pack was good and if in area again wouldn't think twice about staying here again I could also recommend the luck garden restaurant and mai Indian restaurant in hornsea both where excellent.

The New Chapel was a pleasant development in itself, but there was no view from the windows which were very high up on the walls.

The thing that upset us most was that despite Sykes website claiming that there was a shop and a pub within 5 minutes walk there were no such facilities in the entire village. We walked all round it. There had been a pub but it was closed. I would never have booked it if I had known in advance so I feel I have been misled by Sykes. The yellow information file at the property also listed a pub as being available. But it was not true. Quiet drink at a pub before dinner would have been a joy but we had to drive miles to the nearest and therefore could not drink.

It is a very clever conversion and has produced a quality cottage; only the front and the windows remind you that it was a chapel Both bedrooms have en-suite and there is a good size living area.

Parking is straight outside the chapel; the wifi is good and there is a smart TV; it is very quiet and peaceful The kitchen needs its equipment updated for those who wish to cook

Pre trip cleaning was a bit patchy and having 2 bicycles left in lounge area is clearly a bad idea as is no spare bin bags,no kitchen towels and out of date info re village facilities and it should be made clear that the bike store is just a ring to put a chain on outside.

That said we had a good week in a charming cottage with good wifi and friendly and helpful host and hostess in Mike and Dawn so anyone thinking of a break in this area should be happy to use the New Chapel.

Our stay at the New Chapel was excellent.

All the comforts of home. Two bedrooms with own showers and toilet and wash basin is something you don’t find in most accommodations. The kitchen also had everything you need. Over very comfortable and just like home. Just one comment to correct the information of the property. There is no pub or shop in the village.

Great conversion completed to the highest standards Information folder could do with updating as some of the places to eat recommended are now closed

Lovely accommodation, suitable for our needs.

Needed a car to get around, unfortunate that the local pub is no longer, had to plan our day ensuring we ate out, while out and about.

The New Chapel is excellent accommodation, everything you could need is there in a beautiful, clean and homely place to stay.

We loved it so much we will definitely book again if in the area. First rate and best place we have stayed- highly recommend.

The cottage is well set out and very comfortable.

Everything we needed was available. Bike hire available too. Parking on the road was fine as a quiet road. Local walks but no local shop/pub. Easy to travel into Hornsea town and large Tesco. Would happily recommend both Chapels as we stayed in the smaller unit before.

Sensitively renovated property in a quiet village.

Interesting layout. Excellent bathrooms and compact bedrooms with large, comfortable beds. Nb: no garden but a pleasant village green a short walk along the road. a car is a must (no problems parking on the road) as the pub and shop are closed Thank you to the owners.

Quiet peaceful location.

Chapel was well equipped, clean and comfortable. Mobile signal not good but happy to walk and talk.

Lovely cottage and enjoyed a wonderful stay.

Have scored the accuracy as only 3 out of 4 as the pub has now closed - some time ago by the look af things - and no site of a shop. Neither of these things bothered us but may bother some so should really be corrected. The accuracy for the cottage itself was spot on - 4 out of 4. The kitchen has everything required, lovely dining area, and the beds were very comfortable. Would recommend this cottage to anyone - wonderful base location to explore wonderful countryside and beaches. Very good communication with owners as well - no issues whatsoever.

The Old Chapel was a great base from which to visit the local area and the coast.

It was exactly as described and wonderfully warm and cosy in the winter evenings. We cooked our own evening meals and found everything we needed in the kitchen. Highly recommend this place.

We really enjoyed staying at New Chapel.

The cottage had everything we needed. It was clean and comfortable, and was great value for money in terms of what we got. We would certainly recommend the cottage to others.

A lovely comfortable stay for us.

Dawn was very helpful, we had a problem with the freezer which was promptly resolved. Accommodation was perfect for two couples as we each had an en-suite. Location was also good. Quiet village a short drive from local amenities.

Beautiful place to stay within easy reach of the coast etc.

..2 wonderful bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms ...Woodburning stove and very comfortable lounge with first class kitchen..Parking outside the door... A truly exceptional cottage...Highly recommended... Hope to return...

An unusual design and layout for a holiday property, when compared with your average house, but it really works!

Very comfortable accommodation with every facility that you need. A quiet location and it is only 4 miles from the sea and is well placed to visit the East Riding.

Not as advertised .

Not near a shop but is advertised as being , local pub has very limited opening hours and is shut Monday and Tuesdays. ( no mention when booking) very poor phone reception in chapel . Lovely owners , property lovely and clean k but had we know not as listed no shop , local pub with limited opening and poor phone connection we would not have booked . Spend all holiday walking to end of road or going out, to get any phone reception , so far from ideal .

Beautifully converted chapel.

We could see and smell how clean it was when we arrived and were put at ease straight away. It was a pity that covid restrictions meant that the kitchen equipment was limited and the books and dvds had been removed. Would thoroughly recommend it to people wanting to explore such an interesting part of Yorkshire.

The chapel was renovated to a high standard, we loved the high ceiling and mezzanine floor and original window features.

The owners had thought of everything with a surprise welcome box and extras like soaps and coffee and tea. The property was situated in a quiet spot, in walking distance to a nice pub and a short drive to Hornsea. In Hornsea there were lovely places to eat and we particularly loved the Italian restaurant. Would definitely recommend!

We let ourselves in and found a lovely room in front of us, with 3 settees and a couple of chairs.

And a lovely looking fireplace. The downstairs loo was a bonus. The kitchen/diner had all we needed, with a lovely welcome package of beer, fizz, biscuits and uht milk in the fridge. We used the smaller bedroom, with the zip and link bed, which was very firm. There was plenty of storage space. You need to make sure the immersion heater is on, otherwise there is no hot water. Though lighting the stove adds to the hot water. We had no issues parking outside. The local pub, a 2 min walk away, serves great simple food, Wed's to Sun. A 1.8 mile walk takes you to the Falcon, in Withernwick. Well worth a visit, the food is great, the staff friendly and the prices are very competitive. Med Mex in Hornsea is good, as is Sonali spice, nearby. A drive to Spurn Point, is well worth the effort, it's an 8.5 mile round trip, with miles of golden sand, fabulous. Bridlington, was closed!, Flamborough a good walk and Filey lovely. The Trans Pendine Trail (TPT) is worth a walk or cycle, though Hull is not nice!! . Ps the outside cycle storage is not ideal, or overly safe, if you have expensive bikes, like us. Consider, carefully, storing them in the property!! We would highly recommend this property, its in a lovely village and area.

The property is perfect, we really enjoyed our time at the new chapel.

You have everything you need within a 10min drive, we took our bikes and used the cycle paths close by. The supermarket and Hornsea beach are also around 10mins away. The facilities in the accommodation were excellent, the village is small and there isn't anything there but plenty around including a pub a few mins walk away, it wasn't opened due to coming out of lockdown so can't comment. We took a drive to Hull which is around 30mins away and found a great city with lots to do(except during our time there) We would happily return one day.

Excellent part of the world for cycling , the write up said secure cycle storage but it was iron hoops at the front not a lock up outbuilding which was a disappointment it didn’t detract from the holiday in any shape or form but if I had known I wouldn’t of booked because my cycle costs around £2000 and I’m not in the habit of leaving it outside

The converted chapel was completed and furnished to a high standard .

Couldn't have asked for more facilities . Owner left a welcome card and a small welcome hamper. The premises were spotless and the supplied bed linen and towels were of good quality . The village was exceptionally quiet and peaceful and the pub only a few hundred yards away where we enjoyed two very nice evening meals.

The Chapel was lovely and had everything we needed and more.

It is. Wonderful conversion and we will return.

A wonderful property in an excellent location.

Cannot rate highly enough !

We loved this comfortable and tastefully decorated Chapel.

We would definitely recommend it and hope to return.

We stayed for New Year.

The cottage is just wonderful. My kids were delighted when we arrived and the cottage was decorated for Christmas complete with a tree and chocolate decorations and a lovely little welcome hamper. Really well equipped kitchen and 3 bathrooms! Comfy beds and beautiful wood burning fire. It was a short drive to Hornsea which has a gorgeous beach. We will be back!

Beautifully converted chapel.

Everything pretty much spot on. Local pub serves lovely meals.

The chapel was lovely to stay in, cosy and modern in a beautiful old building.

Like staying in a Grand Designs home! it's been really thought out well with a designer interior and finish. Don't pack the kitchen sink! its well equipped and has an easy to read welcome pack. Just a little thing like having a plug in night light in my bedroom as well as easy to reach bedside lights was much appreciated. Amazing coast and country side around. Loved Hornsea very pretty the Mere, town and seafront, has everything you need 5 minute drive away. Would recommend Pockilngton market and the scenic drive around the wolds and villages as well as Bridlington, almost forgot Beverly too Beautiful! and lots of free parking in towns, makes a difference.

Excellent Property

Cottage was ok, but certain items need replacing ie pillows were very poor and the bedding is old and well washed out, one of the pillow cases were ripped at seams, bread bin dirty, cutlery drawer dirty with crumbs in and toothpaste splashes on tiles.

The cottage lacks attention to detail in certain areas which was a shame. Overall a good stay was had just a shame standards were not met.

The chapel is beautifully done and very comfortable.

Just 100 yards away or so there is a very welcoming pub with good food. There is plenty to keep you occupied within easy reach and even more if you are prepared to drive an hour or so. Perhaps the only drawback is the lack of outside space but the positives far outweigh that.

We loved the new chapel.

It was more than we hoped for. Extremely clean with every need catered for.The owners were very helpful recommending somewhere to eat. Pub in the village served great food and we also are at the Falcon which was also very good. Lovely welcome basket which was very thoughtful.

Excellent holiday.

Booking was easy - Sykes app is so useful and takes the hassle out of the whole process. I didn’t have to find time to chase details or worry about payment as it was all done automatically. I received a text 2 days before with details of key collection and the owners had left comprehensive instructions about everything we could possibly want or need to know. Fantastic and highly recommended. Thank you for helping us enjoy half term.

Whilst the chapel was lovely conversion - it somehow wasn't comfortable.

Major problem was the energy efficient lighting - fine in principle but impossible to find a spot where you could read a book - needs a decent reading lamp at least. Same problem in the rear bedroom which we used - very poor bedside lights - one of which didn't work. (Couldn't use the front bedroom as the rooflight blind will not close.) Range of kitchen equipment poor and of poor quality - difficult to cook a full meal with what was available.

We felt that there were a few basic kitchen items unavailable, for example - a potato masher and a medium sized casserole dish or oven dish.

A larger frying pan would also have been useful, the one supplied was too small for pan frying fish. However, on the plus side, when we had a problem with the water failing to drain away in the shower, the owners responded to it very quickly and rectified it the same day.

.

We would recomend these cottages as we have now visited twice and been in both,

Has a lovely relaxing break, very enjoyable stay.

This is a great cottage in a very nice location.

Availability of cycles was a plus, we used them a lot even though it rained.

Very stylish and well equipped property.

The owners are to be congratulated on their conversion and attention to detail in provision of facilities, information - and masses of wood for the burner.

Lovely place we had a great time

Such beautiful cottages very well equiped cosy yet spacious we visited skirlington market, Bridlington ,Hornsea .

theres a tesco not far ...EXCELLENT ....
