Wesleyan Chapel, Skipton

About this property

Built in 1884 with many elements of the Gothic Revival style included in its construction, Wesleyan Chapel is a stunning converted chapel with a well-curated and thoughtfully styled layout that emphasises the outstanding uninterrupted views of the surrounding Yorkshire Dales. Ideally located on the Bolton Abbey Estate, the recent restoration has ensured that many of these traditional features now blend seamlessly with all modern conveniences you would expect in a truly stunning rural retreat.

The pretty white wooden vestibule opens up into the large open-plan living area with traditional vaulted ceilings that create a feeling of old-world charm and ambience. The dual aspect wood burning stove and open chimney breast takes pride of place within the room, separating the comfortable living area from the modern fully fitted kitchen, and dining area with large island and original church pews.

Wesleyan Chapel sleeps up to eight guests in four generous bedrooms (a super-king, that can be converted to twin beds on request, and two double four poster beds) which can be found down a stone staircase on the lower floor. Each bedroom has its own bathroom and is decorated with traditional patterns and heritage colours. Cosy underfloor heating runs throughout all the bathrooms.

Outside, the patio features a seating area perfectly design to maximise enjoyment of the seclusion and peace, and the breath-taking panoramic views of Wharfe Valley and Barden Bridge.

The garden patio boasts a hot tub to enjoy with unspoilt views of the Yorkshire Dales and beyond. There is also a spacious seating area and barbecue for the most memorable of al fresco dining. Please note, the Bolton Abbey Estates team require access the hot tub on a daily basis to allow them to carry out essential water testing. The hot tub will be emptied, cleaned and re-filled each Monday and Friday between 9am and 4pm. Access inside the cottage is not required.
