About this property
Indulge in a divine stay at this splendid former chapel at Bainbridge in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Sleeping five guests, this unique, three-bedroom retreat, which also welcomes four-legged friends, sits in a beautiful location, 1.5 miles from Askrigg and 5.5 miles from the picturesque Aysgarth Hills. Exquisitely converted, this heavenly holiday home offers a magical combination of original features and exceptional comfort.
Make your way inside via the reception hall, where you can shuffle off wellies and walking boots and hang jackets. There is also a useful family shower room here. Climb the stairs to the first floor to discover your main living space, in the form of a lovely lounge/diner, with French doors for the summer months. Gather in here in the autumn and winter too, with the wood burner roaring as you watch the Smart TV together or dine at the table. The kitchen, with its ample storage and wooden work surfaces, is close by, making catering for your party easy during your stay. Head on up to the second floor to find enticing bedrooms with beautiful, original chapel windows and sloped ceilings. These include a king-size, a twin and a single. There is also a family bathroom up here. Relax out in the enclosed garden on fine days, gazing out over the rolling hills as your children or waggy-tailed chum play on the grass.
Step straight out from the chapel to enjoy beautiful walks and cycle rides. The picturesque lake of Semerwater is 2 miles from the property. Venture into Hawes, 4 miles away, to stock up on local produce, potter in galleries and craft shops, and visit the famous Wensleydale Creamery. Plan a day trip to Richmond, 20.5 miles from the holiday home, to wander the historic streets and see the castle.

Chapel End cottage was a well located and provisioned location from which to explore the Yorkshire Dales. The cottage had character and we looked forward to coming back to it after a day of hiking. Great proximity to Richmond, Hawes, Ayesgarth and Hard raw falls which were both excellent. We really enjoyed our stay, thank you Karen and Phil

Located in beautiful countryside, this cottage is very comfortable and clean. The kitchen was really well equipped and the two bathrooms an added bonus. There is a play park and small football pitch 200 yards along the road which my 5 year old grandson loved. One annoying thing was the very creaky stairs up to the bedrooms. The shower was also noisy, but the view from the garden was fabulous.
