  On our arrival we found Chapel Cottage to be very clean & well presented & the wide off road parking was a bonus over many cottages we have hired in the past.

  We didnt need to contact the owners during the week as everything worked as it should. Bunbury is a lovely friendly village with interesting old buildings, especially upper Bunbury. Chapel cottage is in a good location but the main road that passes the end of the cottage is quite busy. We made good use of the friendly Co-Op & the Nags Head pub but found the Dysart a bit pretentious IMO, £9.35 for a pint & a coke. Probably priced to keep the rif-raf away, it certainly worked as we didnt go back. The village chippy has a good reputation but was sadly closed whilst we were there. The gardens were well tended & the back patio area was a lovely suntrap but could be a bit noisy from the road traffic & people stopping to talk just over the hedge but it was quite interesting listening to the local gossip. We made lots of use of the lovely kitchen but it could do with some extra basic utensils such as plastic spoons & masher etc. Lovely downstairs bathroom with good bath & shower but the shiny floor tiles were a bit slippery when wet & would benefit from a proper bath mat, the upstairs WC was quite novel & felt a bit like going to the loo in a cupboard. The cottage is advertised as a two bedroom suitable for 4 people & has dining seating for six, it has a double bed in one bedroom & two singles in the other but the lounge has only a two seater sofa & a single rocking chair & a dining chair so there wasn`t adequate comfortable seating for four adults. We went as a couple but had made the offer to my son & his wife to visit us at the cottage but on finding that there was insufficient comfortable practical seating we had to sadly withdraw the offer. As I stated in the cottage visitors book another two seater sofa in the lounge would solve the issue & provide comfortable seating to sit & enjoy the big TV & the wood burning stove in the evening. My comments are my personal opinion & meant to be informative & constructive & we would love to return to Chapel cottage if they were taken onboard by the owners.

  We enjoyed a lovely, relaxing week in this gorgeous thatched cottage.

  Very well maintained and presented in a tranquil little village. The cottage itself had almost everything we needed. There's a notice asking that guests don't let their pets go upstairs. Thankfully we'd taken a baby gate with us, otherwise I don't know how we'd have managed that. A wooden gate at the bottom of the stairs would be a good addition to the cottage for this reason. The cottage has a large front and back garden which is surrounded by walls and hedges. Whilst the garden is flat and safe for children/dogs, the hedges between the garden and pavement do have some small gaps in them and our dog managed to get through onto the road. Some additional netting/fencing in the hedges would make this more secure. The village had two pubs within a short walking distance of the cottage. Both offered takeaway food if you didn't want to eat in, which was very nice. The local butchers and village chippy were also great, and there's a little co-op for other groceries/essentials.

  Mixed feelings about this cottage.

  It is well placed for visiting the local area and in a quiet location. The outside space is lovely and on a sunny evening you can enjoy the peaceful surroundings. However I feel the cleanliness could be improved, especially considering what we have learned from COVID. I am not a clean freak by any stretch of the imagination but for my own peace of mind found the need to clean work surfaces, kitchen cupboard handles, light switches. Towels and tea towels didn't smell fresh and bedding was stained. I appreciate it can be difficult to keep a shower cubicle clean but the grout and sealant were mouldy. A lot of surfaces were also covered in dust. These things would be remedied if cleaned between guests. It felt as if the bare minimum was done before the next guest arrived. All things considered it would probably mean I wouldn't return.

  Chapel Cottage is an absolutely superb property and nestled within the lovely village of Bunbury.

  The cottage is very well furnished, throughout. The kitchen is well equipped with the usual utensils, crockery, microwave, fridge/freezer, etc and has an efficient cooker. The downstairs bathroom is spacious and has a large bath with overhead shower. There is an upstairs toilet, housed in a small "cupboard", which is excellent for any night time visits to the loo!!!!!! The garden is a sun trap! There is a table and chairs and parasol outside - we enjoyed being out there reading, enjoying a cuppa, enjoying the shade from the sun, with little or no noise from outside. Bunbury is a delighful village. It has a Co-op, three pubs and a tea room behind the cottage. We were not disappointed with Chapel Cottage. There's a very interesting historical account of it, in the visitor handbook. Visited 1st -8th Sept.

  Wonderful relaxing stay at a beautiful cottage.

  Ideally situated and ideal for my wife and me. Had a great 4 day break being able to relax and recharge after a hectic year. The cottage was all lit up and the heating on when we arrived along with a complimentary bottle of bubbly. A really nice surprise. We met the owner a day or so later, she was really friendly and checked if everything was in order. The patio area is quite large and leading down the garden there is a lovely platform seating area with a stream running passed. Also the view includes some Lama/Alpacas ( not being experts we could not make our minds which model they are. We are considering returning in the summer time if only to sit on the platform deck in the evening with a glass of wine ( or maybe two) Thank you for giving us a lovely time.
