Mr Mellen
The Old Chapel is a distinctive property and we enjoyed our stay here. The property was comfortable and roomy for a couple, and provided a convenient base for visiting the local area, including the nearest town, Aylsham, which is a lovely place with lots of period properties and independent shops. It's not far to the delights of Holt and the coast at Sheringham or Cromer. The kitchen is small but has all you need. With the wood burning stove lit the chapel is cosy and charming.

We stayed on the coldest weekend of the year so far in december and made plenty of use of the fire, which was lovingly placed in the centre of the building to provide lots of warmth. The Old Chapel was a great base to reach Cromer, Sherringham, Mundesley, Overstrand and many other nice coastal Norfolk areas. Thank you for a lovely stay.
