The Chapel

The Chapel is a recently converted former Methodist Chapel in the heart of the village of Whitsbury. Beautifully finished with elegant touches, The Chapel is a stylish and welcoming holiday home for up to four guests and a small dog.

The downstairs living area is open plan, with comfortable seating arranged around a roaring log burner for those chillier evenings in. The kitchen is equipped with Neff appliances and a tempting welcome hamper of local produce awaits your arrival. A breakfast bar provides a sociable perch and bi-fold doors open onto the small rear garden, with outdoor seating and charcoal barbecue. Upstairs are two comfortable en-suite bedrooms, with views across the surrounding countryside. Crisp linens and fluffy towels offer a real luxurious feel.

Whitsbury is a part of a group of villages on the edge of the Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. With a charming village pub and countryside walks in every direction, The Chapel is a great base for exploring the local area. Fordingbridge is a short drive away, with a selection of shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants, some overlooking the River Avon as it meanders through the town. The New Forest National Park is just 10 minutes away by car, with miles of tracks and footpaths to discover by foot, bicycle or on horseback. Other local attractions include The New Forest Water Park, Moors Valley Country Park and Blashford Lakes Nature Reserve.
