The Chapel

Living

The first floor open plan living-room is an amazing space, with enormous windows, huge Stuv log burner and vaulted ceiling; it's a complete joy, offering the most stunning views. The fabulous kitchen with every appliance to hand, sits at the other end of this space. Star gaze, storm watch, read or just relax and have a petit dodo (little sleep) in the separate sunroom with wood burner; both provide a great ambience in the evening to ensure you and your guests are cosy and warm whilst relaxing on the lush sofas.

Eating

Even if you are a keen cook or wish to have the wonderful Cornish chef Benedict Quinn entertain you (which we can arrange), the kitchen will be ideal for preparing any gastronomic delight. Port Isaac is just down the road so you can go and buy some crab, lobster or fresh fish and return to The Chapel and barbeque to the delights of your guests or use the range cooker for boiling, grilling or oven baking.

Sleeping

There are four heavenly bedrooms to choose from at The Chapel.

Each bedroom can be found on the ground floor, beautifully styled with Sweet Pea and Willow beds, Hypnos mattresses and sumptuously soft Egyptian cotton linens.

The master bedroom has an en suite along with a sun terrace for sipping morning lattes alfresco. The second bedroom also has an en suite, whilst the third and fourth doubles share a family bathroom, complete with a separate shower.

Garden

With 1.5 acres of private gardens with stunning views and surrounded by beautiful Cornish countryside you will really be pushed to stray from this lovely garden. With evenings spent using the outdoor dining area with barbecue, plancha, pig roaster, outdoor oven and outdoor log stove, why would you want to stray very far!

The idyllic ancient fishing village of Port Isaac is 4 miles away, with its slipway where famous sea shanties are sung on Friday Evenings. Port Isaac has 2 Michelin Starred restaurants and one of the best seafood shops in Britain. Port Gaverne, next door, is another stunning little inlet and the perfect swimming spot. The hamlet of Treligga where The Chapel is situated under 30 minutes from Polzeath, Padstow and Rock.
