Located in the picturesque Danby Dale of North Yorkshire, this exquisitely refurbished Victorian Methodist Chapel, originally built in 1853, offers a charming retreat for couples. The surrounding area is ideal for exploration, with numerous footpath trails winding through the scenic landscapes of Botton Village and Danby village. Guests can indulge in local delicacies by visiting nearby creamery and organic health food shops, or venture further afield for more challenging walks in the North York Moors or along the coast-to-coast routes. The stunning coastal town of Whitby is just a short drive away, providing opportunities for a beach day, while Goathland, known for its connection to the 'Heartbeat' series and as a filming location for the Harry Potter films, is also within reach.
Upon entering the chapel, visitors are welcomed by a generous entrance hall featuring a beautiful church pew, a delightful reminder of the building's history. Guests can hang their coats and slip into complimentary slippers before heading into the cozy open-plan lounge, kitchen, and dining area adorned with stylish and vibrant furnishings. A wood burner beside the sofa creates a warm ambiance, perfect for colder months, allowing guests to enjoy a snug atmosphere while relaxing or entertaining. The kitchen is well-equipped with an electric oven, hob, and fridge, making it easy to prepare anything from a hearty breakfast to a romantic dinner for two.
Ascending a few steps leads to a mezzanine area where guests can unwind on a comfortable chaise lounge, read a book, or simply soak in the breathtaking views of the moors. When it’s time to retire for the night, the beautifully presented double bedroom awaits, complete with low-level windows that frame the stunning landscape, allowing guests to enjoy the view from the comfort of their bed. The ground floor shower room, featuring a refreshing rainfall shower and WC, adds to the convenience and comfort of the accommodation.
Outside, a built-in bench provides the perfect spot for enjoying a glass of fizz and toasting to a memorable getaway. Just a short stroll from the chapel, a beck invites guests to sit and listen to the soothing sounds of the babbling brook while watching for salmon and trout. As night falls, the area transforms into a stargazer's paradise, offering uninterrupted 360-degree views of the spectacular night sky. Additionally, there is a dedicated off-road parking space for one car, ensuring a hassle-free experience for guests exploring this beautiful corner of the North of England.
