Excellent property in an idyllic location
All three generations of our party loved this conversion of a former chapel..The accommodation was light, spacious and tastefully furnished. It was also clean, well equipped and maintained and all bedrooms having their own en-suite was a definite bonus. The sunny outdoor seating was perfect for enjoying the quiet location but only a short walk from the beautiful Carew Castle, village shop and pub. A short drive took us to the lovely local beaches and Tenby.

A very pleasant stay was had by all!
The property was clean and well maintained and as it was south facing we had sun on the patio all day. The location of the property was very peaceful and also great as it was only a short walk to a lovely castle and mill and a super pub which served tasty food. Nearby was the Pembrokeshire coast and it's excellent beaches.

Love this place!!
The Chapel is such a great place to stay, loads of space for us and our teenage daughters!! It has everything you would expect of a holiday property but the building itself is amazing. I love the location too, so calm and peaceful but only a short car journey to the beach (Freshwater East is our favourite), Pembroke Dock, Tenby and more. This was our second year here and I would go back again.

Rest and relaxation in an amazing and unusual property
Who could ask for more? Fully equipped converted Chapel in a very peaceful location. Just what I needed for some rest and relaxation, but also very close to some very beautiful beaches if you want to do a bit of driving. Highly recommended.

Peaceful & interesting property.
A beautiful Chapel conversion in such a lovely & peaceful location. We were blessed with amazing weather, so it actually felt like we were abroad. The only negatives were the poor water pressure, which made showering & washing a chore and the downstairs bedroom smells musty, so didn’t use the wardrobe or unpack suitcase in that room. The acoustics in the lounge made the TV a little difficult to hear too.

Unclear communication where to leave keys on departure. Pain having to drive to cross hands to collect keys. Would have liked a 6 person comfy seating area (Only space for 4-5 on sofas), as Property held 6 sleeping. Otherwise terrific.

Brilliant week in superbly converted Chapel
First time at the chapel, but not new to staying in the area. Love thIs quirky chapel: clean, very spacious and warm. The Pembrokeshire weather was variable, but it was a pleasure to stay inside during Storm Frances. The local beaches were as beautiful as ever.: We’re already planning our next trip! Thank you

Brilliant base for exploring Pembrokeshire
The Chapel was perfect. We had a lovely week getting away and enjoying Pembrokeshire. We were lucky with the weather and bbq'd outside for most the week on the bbq there. There was ample space inside the Chapel as well. And with lots of bathrooms which was really useful for all wanting a shower after getting back from walks and swims. The location is great with a pub within walking distance in Carew and the castle which is worth a like walk around. From the Chapel we explored lots of south Pembrokeshire going for walks everyday along the coastal path and fun swimming in the sea. We have saved the Chapel as a place to recommend to friends and to come back to as it was perfect for us.

Wow! What an amazing conversion this chapel has undergone
Wonderfully in keeping with the original building’s use, the three en-suite bedrooms are very well done and you don’t loose the feel of the original chapel area in the living/dining space. The kitchen was very well equipped with two under counter fridges, both with freezer compartments, and a huge array of cooking equipment. Perfect for self catering holidays. The road outside had so few cars passing it felt like a private driveway! Very safe to stroll down the short distance to the castle and local pub. Regarding location we found it very well situated being only 10-15 minutes drive to wonderful beeches, castles, theme parks and a wide range of other forms of family entertainment. Communication with the owner was clear and prompt, even after my numerous questions before arriving. We were a party of two adults and three teens and would highly recommend this accommodation.

The Chapel conversion makes good use of the space and having multiple ensuite facilities add a touch of luxury. Super location for Freshwater East beach and close to local supermarkets etc if need. Really peaceful and a good find. Suited our family of 4 perfectly. Cutlery and crockery could be cleaner.

Great place to explore Pembrokeshire
The Chapel was big enough for the 5 of us (2 adults and 3 children 9,6,2). Location Is great :near Tenby, near Carew Castle, Not far from the Green Bridge of Wales. We really appreciated the quietness of the Chapel. We would love to come back!

Ein traumhafter Urlaub in einem besonderen Gebäude
Trotz sehr durchwachsenem Wetter hatten wir 2 perfekte Urlaubswochen. Das Haus ist ideal für Ausflüge / Wanderungen in South/Westwales und für 4-6 Personen sehr geräumig. Peter hat aus dem alten Gemäuer sehr gelungen ein cooles und besonderes Ferienzuhause geschaffen. Die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter ist sehr herzlich und unkompliziert. Wir wären gerne noch ganz lang geblieben.

Great & special place to stay
We have had a great stay in the Chapel with 3 persons. Obviously we had plenty of space, given it is rated for 6. But even with 6 there is still so much living area! And of course, given it is a Chapel, it has a special atmosphere. The area is very quiet, with only 3-4 cars coming by in a day. The house is very well equipped. Nice bedrooms. Decent bathrooms/showers. Kitchen is very large. Please mind there are 2 small refrigerators which provide plenty of space, but you will have to bend over to reach them. Nice patio, although the planks bend a bit when walking on them, but you get used to it. All in all, we have had a very good stay and would recommend this to anyone visiting Pembrokeshire. Some comments/remarks/tips: + Do not leave the bedroom windows open during day, as birds may find their way in and do "droppings". + The bed in the master bedroom upstairs is "romantically" small but appears to be quiet unstable and "creaky". I would put in a much better bed. The other beds are much better. + The only thing we did miss a bit was a machine dryer, which was a bit miscommunicated in the VBRO text as dryer, which according to the owner meant "drying rack".
