Overview
Property code: OC-2CHAPL

This charming house with wonderful countryside views is part of a converted Methodist chapel in the pretty hamlet of Rinsey and is perfect for couples, a family or friends looking for a peaceful holiday not far from the beaches. Walkers will love having access to the spectacular South West Coast Path less than 500 metres away. A lovely section is from Praa Sands (3 miles) to Hendra Beach, about 4 miles through dunes, quiet country roads and fields.

This is a charming property set over two levels and retains a country style with many original features, including exposed stone walls and tiled floors. These original features blend seamlessly with contemporary decor and furnishings to provide a warm welcome for your stay. On the ground floor is a pretty open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with plenty of comfortable seating for everyone to unwind, watch movies on the TV or cosy up around the wood burner on cooler evenings. You can cook up a storm in the kitchen and linger over meals at the wooden dining table. On the first floor, you’ll find one king-size and one twin bedroom and a contemporary bathroom. Outside is a large patio with garden furniture to enjoy sitting out in fine weather and a gated garden called ’The Thicket’.

Nearby Praa Sands (3 miles) is a village famous for its glorious mile-long sandy beach. It is a popular destination for families with buckets and spades and for surfing - the perfect place for a relaxing beach holiday. The property is ideally situated for reaching several of Cornwall’s most famous attractions, including the popular seaside town of St Ives (17 miles) which has four beaches and is a great place for art lovers and foodies. The rugged coastline and dramatic cliffs of Lizard Point are 18 miles away, and no trip would be complete without heading to the gorgeous beach at Marazion (7 miles) and looking (or walking at low tide) across to the iconic St Michael’s Mount.

2 The Chapel was extremely comfortable for the 2 of us. The log burner was a treat, although we hardly used it as the weather was unseasonably warm. Sitting in the outside garden area was lovely, overlooking the fields and countryside. An added bonus was the very short walk to the South West coastal path.

Good, peaceful location just a few minutes from spectacular cliff top walks. The Chapel has been thoughtfully and beautifully converted and is spacious and comfortable with great outdoor areas. Furnished with every appliance you could need for a lovely and relaxing holiday.

A lovely comfortable cottage in a great quiet location, excellent to explore the coastal paths. We appreciated the well equipped kitchen and many extras that we didnt expect. In summary, a very enjoyable holiday and we would like to return.

Lovely week away in 2 The Chapel, such a great cottage in every way. We've had great weather and spent time at Rinsey beach, Godrevey, Praa Sands and fitted in a swim at Jubilee Pool. We hope to be back next year.

Thank you for such a comfortable stay. The cottage is in a great position on the coast. We loved the garden it was so peaceful and quiet, with the birds all around. We had a lovely time on a Marine Discovery boat tour from Penzance. We also had breakfast in Mousehole and had a beach day at Praa Sands. Falmouth is well worth a visit with nearby PenRead moredennis Castle. Of course we visited nearby Porthleven as well. The beach at Rinsey right on the doorstep is worth a trip down when the tide is out. We were blessed with the weather for the week and we hope to be back soon to do some more walking of the coast path. Hide

What a great cottage ! We loved the light , the art on the walls and the lovely outside space with a view of the fields. We really enjoyed being so close to the beautiful and extremely quiet beach, even during the Easter holidays. I even had an incredibly bracing dip in the sea ! We've seen Choughs and Seals, done lots of beautiful coast walking anRead mored eaten many Roskilly's Ice Creams. Thank you so much for the warm welcome with flowers, coffee, biscuits, hot cross buns and clotted cream. It was so kind of you . We hope to be back ! Hide
